SMC MHL2-20D2 MHL2 Pneumatic Gripper Cylinder

SMC MHL2-20D2 is a two‑finger, parallel-style pneumatic gripper from the MHL2 family, featuring a 20 mm bore and 100 mm stroke for wide opening gripping. This double-acting actuator is sized for air, with a maximum operating pressure of 0.6 MPa and a minimum of 0.1 MPa, and it does not require lubrication. It provides an effective holding force of 74 N per finger at 0.5 MPa, supports up to 60 cycles per minute, and offers ±0.1 mm repeatability for repeatable high‑precision picking. The unit weighs about 1.025 kg and uses a 0.5 m lead wire by default when an auto switch is included (or none if no switch is used), with mounting threads specified as M5 (10–25 mm) and Rc (32–40 mm). The gripping point distance is 40 mm, and the configuration includes two fingers operated in unison to grasp flat, curved, or small cylindrical parts within the gripper’s wide opening range. This model is suited for compact automation cells and end‑effector integrations where reliable, precise parallel grasping is required at moderate speeds, making it a common choice for pick‑and‑place, assembly, and material handling tasks in pneumatic systems.
