SMC MHL2-20D1 Pneumatic Parallel Gripper 20mm Bore 20mm Stroke

The SMC MHL2-20D1 is a wide-type parallel gripper from the MHL2 series, designed for pneumatic actuation with a 20 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke, delivering two-finger parallel motion to grip parts. This model is a two-finger, double-acting unit; its parallel jaws close evenly to accommodate cylindrical or irregular workpieces, and it uses a dust-sealed design to resist contamination in dirty environments. Air connections use Rc-thread ports, and the unit follows standard mounting patterns within SMC's gripper lineup, enabling straightforward integration into compact automation cells for applications such as pick-and-place, part handling, and fixture gripping. In the MHL2 family, 20 mm bore variants sit alongside 10, 16, 25, 32 and 40 mm options, allowing designers to match grip force and envelope to their specific part size and cycle requirements. The MHL2-20D1 is commonly used in small- to mid-size automation lines where reliable gripping, repeatable finger alignment, and easy mechanical integration are priorities.
