Optionally, the MGW can be provided with a MEK Energy Coupling. To mount the MEK the "E"
option must be specified when ordering the MGW. The MEK is available in different versions. The
MEK enables the simultaneous coupling of electrical and pneumatic feedthroughs. The MEK is
mounted with two cylinder screws to the upper and lower assemblies. For further installation
instructions, please refer to the assembly and operating instructions of the MEK.
When assembling, the upper and lower assemblies do not have to be inserted
into each other as far as they will go. The upper assembly is able to pull the
bottom approx. 1/12 of the external diameter. That means a change system with
the installation size 160 is capable of using the lower assembly 160/12 ~ 13mm.
There is a fitting bore available for the angular orientation for sizes MGW050 to MGW080. For the
installation sizes MGW100 to MGW160 there are two fitting bores on the flange surfaces. These
are designed according to ISO 9409.
The upper assembly of the MGW Connector is mounted on the robot flange, the manipulator or
similar actuators. It can be centered with the help of a centering disc. The angular orientation is
determined by means of a fitting bore. The lower assembly is mounted on grippers, measuring
instruments or other tools. If the MGW Connector can not be installed directly, adapter flanges
must be used. Use screws according to ISO 4762 during mounting. For the sizes 50, 63 and 80,
screws according to DIN 7984 are to be used on the gripper side. The screw-in depth of the
screws must be observed. We recommend the use of a "medium-tight" screw lock.
