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.
The MHZ2 series is a standard type parallel air gripper, taking the place of the MHQ(G)2 series. A linear guide provides high rigidity and high accuracy. MHZ2 can operate under higher pressure even at a larger holding point and overhang. High degree of mounting precision is achieved and mounting repeatability is improved.
Compact body
Available in 6mm bore size
Double acting or single acting available
Four finger options available
Five body options available
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.
Rotary actuated air gripper
Three fingers
Auto switch capable
Clean room series
Bore sizes available: 10mm, 15mm
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.

Developed to meet the most advanced need for factory automation, the AHC (Automatic Hand Changing) system automatically changes robot hand tools according to works in different shapes, thus materializing FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) in the assembly line. Tools are attached/detached automatically. Thus trouble- some tool exchange work is dispensed with, and tool exchange time can be cut substantially.
