Gripping Point
The work piece gripping point distance should be within the gripping force
ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below.
If operated with the work piece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges, an
excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers, which
can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

Internal gripping

The effective gripping force shown in the graphs
to the right is expressed as F, which is the
impellent force of one finger when all 3 of the
fingers and attachments are in full contact with the
work piece as shown in the figure below.
3 finger MHS3
If operated with the work piece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges,
an excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers,
which can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

6. Contact SMC before using in
an environment where adverse effects appear particularly likely.
Lubrication
Caution
1. The non-lube type air gripper is lubricated at the factory, and can be used without any further lubrication.
In the event that lubrication will be applied, use Class 1 turbine oil (without
additives) ISO VG32. Furthermore,
once lubrication is applied, it must be
continued.
If lubrication is later stopped, malfunction can occur due to loss of the original
lubricant.
Maintenance
Warning
1. Do not allow people to enter
or place objects into the carrying path of the air gripper.
This can cause injury or accidents, etc.
2. Do not put hands, etc., in

Auto Switch Precautions 1

Design and Selection

Even though an auto switch operates
normally, the load may not operate.
1. Confirm the specifications.
2. Take precautions when

multiple air grippers are
used close together.
3. Pay attention to the length

of time that a switch is ON
at an intermediate stroke
position.
Auto switch operating range (mm)
x 1000
Load operating time (ms)
4. Keep wiring as short as

possible.
5. Take precautions for the internal voltage drop of the

switch.
Take note that there will be a large voltage drop if auto switches are connected
in series as shown below. (Refer to internal voltage drop in the auto switch specifications.)
[The voltage drop will be "n" times larger when "n" auto switches are connected.]
<Solid state switch>

With a 2 wire solid state auto switch,
current (leakage current) flows to the
load to operate the internal circuit even
when in the OFF state.
Operating current of load > Leakage current
(OFF condition)
If the criteria given in the above formula

are not met, it will not reset correctly
(stays ON). Use a 3 wire switch if this
specification will not be satisfied.
Moreover, leakage current flow to the
load will be "n" times larger when "n"
auto switches are connected in parallel.
7. Do not use a load that generates surge voltage.

Although a zener diode for surge protection is connected at the output side of a
solid state auto switch, damage may still
occur if the surge is applied repeatedly.
When a load, such as a relay or solenoid, which generates surge is directly
driven, use a type of switch having a
built-in surge absorbing element.
8. Cautions for use in an

interlock circuit.
When an auto switch is used for an interlock signal requiring high reliability,
devise a double interlock system to
avoid trouble by providing a mechanical
protection function, or by also using
another switch (sensor) together with
the auto switch. Also perform periodic
maintenance and confirm proper operation.
9. Ensure sufficient clearance

for maintenance activities.
When a switch is tightened beyond the

range of tightening torque, the mounting
screws, mounting bracket or switch may
be damaged. On the other hand, tightening below the range of tightening
torque may allow the switch to slip out of
position. (Refer to pages 59 through 65
regarding switch mounting, movement
and tightening torque, etc.)
Wiring
Warning
1. Avoid repeatedly bending
or stretching lead wires.
Broken wires will result from applying
repeated bending stress or stretching
force to the lead wires.
2. Be sure to connect the load

before power is applied.
<2 wire type>
If the power is turned ON when an auto
switch is not connected to a load, the
switch will be instantly damaged
because of excess current.
3. Confirm proper insulation

of wiring.
Be certain that there is no faulty wiring
insulation (contact with other circuits,
ground fault, improper insulation
between terminals, etc.). Damage may
occur due to excess current flow into a
switch.
4. Do not run wiring near

power lines or high voltage
lines.
Wire separately from power lines or high
voltage lines, avoiding parallel wiring or
wiring in the same conduit with these
lines. Control circuits containing auto
switches may malfunction due to noise
from these other lines.
74
Precautions
When designing an application, be sure

to allow sufficient clearance for maintenance and inspections.
3. Mount switches using the

proper tightening torque.
Model selection

Generally, the internal voltage drop will
be greater with a 2 wire solid state auto
switch than with a reed switch.
6. Pay attention to leakage

current.
Never carry a cylinder by its lead wires.

This may not only cause broken lead
wires, but it may cause internal elements of the switch to be damaged by
the stress.
Auto switches

Although wire length should not affect
switch function, use a wire 100m or
shorter.
Also, note that a 12VDC relay is not applicable.
2. Do not carry a cylinder by

the auto switch lead wires.
4 finger MHS4
V(mm/s) =
Supply voltage Internal voltage > Minimum operating

voltage of load
drop of switch
Do not drop, bump or apply excessive

impacts (1000m/s or more for solid
state switches) while handling.
Although the body of the switch may not
be damaged, the inside of the switch
could be damaged and cause a malfunction.
Long stroke
MHSL3
When an auto switch is placed at an

intermediate position of the stroke and a
load is driven at the time the piston
passes, the auto switch will operate, but
if the speed is too great the operating
time will be shortened and the load may
not operate properly. The maximum
detectable piston speed is:
In the same way, when operating at or

below a specified voltage, although an
auto switch may operate normally, the
load may not operate. Therefore, the
formula below should be satisfied after
confirming the minimum operating
voltage of the load.
1. Do not drop or bump.
Through hole
MHSH3
When multiple auto switch air grippers

are used in close proximity, magnetic
field interference may cause the switches to malfunction. Maintain a minimum
air gripper separation of 40mm. (When
the allowable separation is indicated for
each air gripper series, use the specified
value.)

5. Do not allow short circuit of

loads.
Models D-F9(V), F9W(V) and all
models of PNP output type switches do
not have built-in short circuit protection
circuits. If loads are short circuited, the
switches will be instantly damaged.
Take special care to avoid reverse wiring
with the power supply line (brown) and
the output line (black) on 3 wire type
switches.
6. Avoid incorrect wiring.

1) If connections are reversed on a 2 wire
type switch, the switch will not be damaged if protected by a protection circuit,
but the switch will always stay in an ON
state. However, it is still necessary to
avoid reversed connections, since the
switch could be damaged by a load
short circuit in this condition.
75
2) If connections are reversed (power supply line + and power supply line ) on a
3 wire type switch, the switch will be protected by a protection circuit. However, if
the power supply line (+) is connected to
the blue wire and the power supply line
() is connected to the black wire, the
switch will be damaged.
Warning
1. Never use in an atmosphere of explosive gases.
The structure of auto switches is not
intended to prevent explosion. Never
use in an atmosphere with an explosive
gas since this may cause a serious
explosion.
2. Do not use in an area where

a magnetic field is generated.
Auto switches will malfunction or magnets inside air grippers will become demagnetized.
3. Do not use in an environment where the auto switch

will be continually exposed
to water.
Although switches, except for a few
models, conform to IEC standard IP67
construction (JIS C 0920: watertight
construction), avoid using switches in
applications where continually exposed
to water splash or spray. Poor insulation
or swelling of the potting resin inside
switches may cause malfunction.
4. Do not use in an environment with oil or chemicals.

Consult SMC if auto switches will be
used in an environment with coolant,
cleaning solvent, various oils or chemicals. If auto switches are used under
these conditions for even a short time,
they may be adversely affected by
improper insulation, malfunction due to
swelling of the potting resin, or hardening of the lead wires.
5. Do not use in an environment with temperature

cycles.
Consult SMC if switches are used where
there are temperature cycles other than
normal air temperature changes, as they
may be adversely affected internally.

auto switch malfunction.
1) Securely tighten switch mounting
screws.
If screws become loose or the mounting
position is dislocated, retighten them
after readjusting the mounting position.
2) Confirm that there is no damage to lead
wires.
To prevent faulty insulation, replace
switches or repair lead wires, etc., if
damage is discovered.
Through hole
MHSH3
When a large amount of ferrous debris

such as machining chips or spatter is
accumulated, or a magnetic substance
(something attracted by a magnet) is
brought into close proximity with an auto
switch air gripper, it may cause the auto
switch to malfunction due to a loss of
the magnetic force inside the air gripper.
Warning
With dust cover

MHSJ3

When there are units (solenoid type lifter,
high frequency induction furnace, motor,
etc.) which generate a large amount of
surge in the area around air grippers with
solid state auto switches, this may cause
deterioration or damage to the switches.
Avoid sources of surge generation and
disorganized lines.

Warning
6. Do not use in locations
where surge is generated.

3) Confirm lighting of the green light on 2

color indication type switches.
Confirm that the green LED is on when
stopped at the established position. If
the red LED is on, the mounting position
is not appropriate. Readjust the mounting position so that the green LED lights
up.
