SMC MHK2-12D Pneumatic Parallel Gripper 12mm Bore Double Acting

SMC MHK2-12D is a pneumatic parallel two‑finger air gripper with a 12 mm bore and double‑acting operation, designed for precise, repeatable gripping in compact automation cells. The wedge‑cam slide mechanism provides true parallel action, with an opening/closing stroke of 4 mm and a closed width of 9 mm (opening width 13 mm). Each finger delivers a gripping force of external 15 N and internal 16 N, and the unit weighs about 75 g, making it suitable for lightweight part handling at modest speeds (up to 120 cycles per minute). Recommended operating pressure range is 0.25–0.5 MPa. The MHK2‑12D can be paired with optional auto switches for sensing (e.g., D‑M9NL/NPN, D‑M9PL/PNP, or D‑M9BL/2‑wire). This model is part of SMC’s MHK2 family of double‑acting, parallel grippers, intended for small‑part pick‑and‑place, assembly, or packaging tasks where compact footprint and reliable, repeatable gripping are required.
