SMC MHS4-63D Pneumatic Gripper Parallel Style

SMC MHS4-63D is a four‑finger, parallel‑style pneumatic gripper in the MHS4 family, designed for repeatable, parallel jaw gripping in automation applications. With a 63 mm bore and a 16 mm stroke, this double‑acting model delivers an external grip of 251 N and an internal grip of 268 N at 0.5 MPa, providing secure handling of flat or rectangular parts with even contact across the jaws. Weighing about 1,095 g, it offers a compact end‑effector footprint suitable for integration with robotic arms or linear actuators. As part of the MHS4 series, the model family spans bore sizes from Ø16 to Ø63, enabling designers to tailor grip force and jaw travel to the workpiece geometry and cycle requirements. The 63D variant is intended for applications such as pick‑and‑place, assembly, and packaging tasks where precise, parallel gripping is important. Installation data and mounting dimensions are detailed in SMC’s official datasheets and distributor catalogs to support correct integration with control systems. Note that grip values are specified at standard test pressure and vary with grip point location (external vs internal) and jaw opening; verify the exact numbers for your grip point configuration in the official datasheet for MHS4‑63D.
