(2) Moment generating around the finger due to an external force
When the gripper is installed on a Cartesian robot, articulated robot or any other actuator and caused
to perform a linear or rotary motion, its finger attachments receive external forces other than the
gripping force.

Based on the use conditions of the gripper, calculate the following external forces applied to each
finger attachment in three directions of X, Y and Z, and add up the calculated forces:
a) Weight of the work part and finger attachment
F = mg, m: Mass of the work part and finger attachment, g: Gravitational acceleration
b) Inertial force when the gripper performs a linear motion
F = ma, a: Acceleration/deceleration during movement
c) Centrifugal force when the gripper performs a rotary motion
F = mr

, r: Radius of rotation,
Z: Angular velocity
Confirm that F
