FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical Specifications:

Q: What is the repeatability of the MHF2-12DR and the available stroke options for the 12 mm bore?

A: The repeatability is plus/minus 0.05 mm, with standard short 12 mm, medium 24 mm, and long 48 mm strokes available.

Wiring & Installation:

Q: What is the standard piping port configuration for the MHF2-12DR and is axial piping possible?

A: The -DR model features side piping as standard, but axial piping is available using a different body option.

Troubleshooting & Compatibility:

Q: How is the effective gripping force of the MHF2-12DR determined at a pressure of 0.5 MPa?

A: The effective gripping force of 48 N is the force per finger, measured at a gripping point distance L of 20 mm.

Replacement & Upgrades:

Q: What model features are available for cleanroom compatible or food grade applications using the MHF2 series?

A: Options include fluororubber or EPDM packing, or using NSF-H1 food grade grease (e.g., X79A option).
