SMC Air Grippers
SMC offers one of the most extensive lines of pneumatic grippers (air grippers) in the industry today. The series include pneumatic rotary grippers, two, three and four finger parallel styles that are ideal for gripping and centering; a wide opening parallel model, designed to accommodate many different sized parts; a heavy duty style, suitable for a wide range of applications; an angular model, speed adjustment built in; a toggle to give reliable gripping support; a low-contamination style, equipped with a protective boot; and electric models.
Series MHR3, 3-finger gripper features high precision centering and high repeatability. A double acting rotary actuator and precision ball bearings permit smooth action without vibration. Mounting can be done from 3 directions; axial side, lateral side or vertical side. The MHR3 series is applicable for clean room class 10.

The MHK2 series parallel gripper was designed to accommodate applications that require a high degree of accuracy in a wide range of environments. The finger action accuracy is accomplished through the use of a wedge cam mechanism, which allows repeat ability to +/-0.01mm and yields much higher axial load characteristics which permits use in insert press procedures. The gripper body is enhanced by a rear centering hole +/-0.1mm and two location pin holes with H9 tolerance. The MHK2 gripper is standard with a dust cover for protection against direct exposure to harsh environments (available in Chloroprene, Fluororubber, and Silicone Rubber) and has optional stainless steel fingers.
Series MHL air grippers are designed for applications that require a wide travel range of gripper fingers. The MHL is ideal for gripping many different sized parts. Finger motion is synchronized by a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The double piston construction creates a compact gripper with large holding force. Available in bore sizes 10, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40. Axial mounting (tapped body or through hole) or lateral mounting options available. Auto switches can be integrally mounted.
Wide opening air gripper
Parallel style
Applicable bore size: 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40 mm
Opening/closing stroke range: 20-200 mm
Auto switch capable
The series MHQJ2 offers specially designed dust covers that protect internal parts from contamination. Three boot materials are available for different applications. The standard rubber (CR) is for general-purpose applications. Fluororubber (FKM) is recommended when the gripper will be subjected to cutting oil, etc. A silicone rubber (Si) model is suitable for clean room and food industry applications. Switches can be integrally mounted. The MHQG2 is a parallel internal/external holding type gripper offered in a single or double acting model with a variety of finger mounting options. The MHQG2 is available in 32 and 40mm bore sizes, and is auto switch capable.

The MHS is the latest in the family of rotary operated parallel style grippers. This compact gripper is available in 10 different bore sizes with choices of 2, 3 and 4 fingers which generate gripping forces up to 1270 N. Pinholes are incorporated as standard, facilitating accurate mounting which is achieved through either body tapped or through-hole mounting. By using a wedge cam construction to attach the fingers to the rotary actuator a more compact design is achieved, as well as high repeatability of 0.01 mm. Auto switches can be simply attached via the standard built-in grooves
