SMC MHF2-20D1 Pneumatic Gripper Low Profile Compact

The SMC MHF2-20D1 is a two-finger, low-profile pneumatic gripper from the MHF2 series, designed for compact, precise handling in tight automation spaces. With a Ø20 bore, it is a double-acting, 2‑finger parallel gripper offering three stroke options and an opening/closing range of 8 to 128 mm. For the Ø12–Ø20 family, operating pressure ranges from 0.1 to 0.7 MPa. The unit uses a recirculating linear guide to deliver smooth, repeatable motion and supports four-direction mounting to fit varied layouts. It can be fitted with auto switches (solid-state, D‑A9m) for easy sensor integration, and there is an NSF‑H1 lubrication option for food‑grade compatibility if required. The MHF2-20D1 emphasizes a dramatically reduced height—up to 66% shorter than MHZ2 equivalents—while maintaining gripping force, making it well suited to small‑part pick‑and‑place, assembly, and other precision-handling tasks where space is at a premium and consistent finger positioning matters.
