MHL2-Z, Air Gripper, Parallel Style, Wide Opening
The MHL2-Z is designed for applications that require a wide range of travel for gripping many different sized work pieces; the updated MHL2 Series finger motion is synchronized by a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The double construction creates a compact gripper with a large holding force.
- Bore sizes 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40mm
- Re-designed to reduce weight
- Built in magnet for position sensing
- Open/Closing stroke up to 120mm
- Gripping force up to 396N at 0.5 Mpa

∗2 Water resistant type auto switches can be mounted on the above models, but SMC cannot guarantee water resistance.
∗ Solid state auto switches marked with “v” are produced upon receipt of order.
∗ When using the 2-color indicator type, please make the setting so that the indicator is lit in red to ensure the detection at the proper position of the air gripper.
Applicable Auto Switches/Refer to the Web Catalog or Best Pneumatics for further information on auto switches.

Specifications
Model/Stroke
Long stroke
One unit can handle workpieces
with various diameters.
A large amount of gripping force
is provided through the use of a
double piston mechanism, while
maintaining a compact design.
Double-end type oil-impregnated
resin bearings are used for all
shafts.
Specific Product Precautions
Warning
If a workpiece is hooked onto the attachment, make sure that excessive impact will not be created at the
start and the end of the movement. Failure to observe this precaution may result in shifting or dropping
the workpiece, which could be dangerous.
