SMC MHL2-32D1 Parallel Gripper

SMC MHL2-32D1 is a wide-type, two-finger parallel air gripper that handles large parts with a 32 mm bore. It uses a rack-and-pinion drive and a double-piston construction for synchronized finger motion, delivering up to 396 N per finger at 0.5 MPa, with ±0.1 mm repeatability and a maximum operating frequency of 60 cycles per minute. The parallel jaws offer an opening/closing stroke range of 20–200 mm, and the family supports bore sizes from 10 to 40 mm; mounting options include axial (tapped body or through-hole) and lateral positions, while auto switches can be mounted in four locations. Operating pressure ranges from 15 to 87 psi and the temperature range is 14 °F to 140 °F. For MHL2-32D1 the body dimensions are listed as B 134 mm, C 158 mm, D 108 mm, E 198 mm, F 318 mm, G 370 mm, H 104 mm, and J 282 mm when the fingers are fully closed. This model’s wide opening makes it suitable for gripping wide or large parts in applications such as automotive assembly, robotic sorting, and packaging lines when a parallel grip is required.
