SMC Corporation MHL2-10D1 Finger Gripper Slide Cylinder

SMC MHL2-10D1 Finger Gripper Slide Cylinder is a compact, two‑finger parallel‑style air gripper from the MHL2 series designed for reliable, repeatable part handling in automation. It features a 10 mm bore and double‑acting actuation with a wide jaw opening, delivering an opening width of 118 mm and a closing width of 78 mm, along with a 40 mm opening/closing stroke. Weighing about 345 g, the unit includes a finger‑closing port with M5 thread, facilitating straightforward integration with standard pneumatic systems. The D1 designation identifies a variant where the drive shaft is ejected from the finger end when closed, a detail that influences gripping geometry and end‑of‑stroke behavior. Ideal for pick‑and‑place, small part assembly, and automated handling, this gripper delivers a broad, parallel gripping range in a compact form factor, making it well suited for tight spaces and repetitive fastening or placement tasks in manufacturing environments.
