SMC MHF2-8D 2 Finger Parallel Pneumatic Gripper

The SMC MHF2-8D is a compact, low-profile 2‑finger parallel air gripper designed for precise, space‑saving pick‑and‑place in automation cells. With an 8 mm bore and a short stroke, its double‑acting finger assembly moves in parallel to grip small parts, while the overall footprint stays slim: height 19 mm, length 36 mm, width 32 mm. The axial‑ported body supports reliable mounting, and the gripper features an open jaw width of 8 mm and a closed width of 0 mm to define a tight, repeatable grip. Each finger delivers about 19 N of holding force (per finger) under typical operating pressures, and the device operates from 22 to 102 psi. Rated for up to 120 cycles per minute, the MHF2‑8D is built for modest‑speed production tasks; its finger type is “2‑finger Low Profile (Short Stroke),” and the MHF2 family is noted for high rigidity thanks to a linear guide. The porting is M3 × 0.5 on a female thread, matching standard compressed‑air lines, making it a practical choice for electronics assembly, small‑part handling, and packaging applications where compact size and repeatable parallel gripping are essential.
