The MHZ2 series is a standard type parallel air gripper, taking the place of the MHQ(G)2 series. A linear guide provides high rigidity and high accuracy. MHZ2 can operate under higher pressure even at a larger holding point and overhang. High degree of mounting precision is achieved and mounting repeatability is improved.

The MHK2 series parallel gripper was designed to accommodate applications that require a high degree of accuracy in a wide range of environments. The finger action accuracy is accomplished through the use of a wedge cam mechanism, which allows repeat ability to +/-0.01mm and yields much higher axial load characteristics which permits use in insert press procedures. The gripper body is enhanced by a rear centering hole +/-0.1mm and two location pin holes with H9 tolerance. The MHK2 gripper is standard with a dust cover for protection against direct exposure to harsh environments (available in Chloroprene, Flouro, and Silicone Rubber) and has optional stainless steel fingers.

The MHS is the latest in the family of rotary operated parallel style grippers. This compact gripper is available in 10 different bore sizes with choices of 2, 3 and 4 fingers which generate gripping forces up to 1270 N. Pinholes are incorporated as standard, facilitating accurate mounting which is achieved through either body tapped or through-hole mounting. By using a wedge cam construction to attach the fingers to the rotary actuator a more compact design is achieved, as well as high repeatability of 0.01 mm. Auto switches can be simply attached via the standard built-in grooves

Series MHR2 finger gripper features high precision centering and high repeatability. A double acting rotary actuator and precision ball bearings permit smooth action without vibration. Series MHR3 finger gripper features high precision centering and high repeatability. A double acting rotary actuator and precision ball bearings permit smooth action without vibration.

The MHC gripper is ideal for use in applications requiring angular gripping. The opening angle ranges from 30 to -10 degrees. A double piston mechanism provides a large amount of gripping force, while maintaining a compact design. The MHC series has a built in speed adjustment and a recessed groove for auto switches.

The MHY2 is a compact 180-degree angular gripper. Its size and mass allow for small, lightweight tooling, while delivering large gripping forces via piston/cam design. The MHY2 gives you maximum installation flexibility with mounting options on 4 sides and recessed auto switch grooves on either side of the gripper. Precision reference points on body and fingers are standard.

The MHW2 is ideal for applications where saving space is a necessity. In addition to its compact size, each one of the two fingers, synchronized by a rack and pinion, rotates back perpendicular to the gripper. In this position, the MHW2 will only require clearance for the body. While the fingers are retracted at a 180-degree angle, the gripper can be moved in an X-Y plane to the work.

These grippers utilize a wedge cam design to minimize their size yet retains a high holding force. The small size of the units makes them well suited for end-of-arm or space constrained pick-and-place applications. The three-finger design of the MHS3 makes it ideal for gripping round objects and loading or unloading items from the chuck of a machine tool.

Series MHR3, 3-finger gripper features high precision centering and high repeatability. A double acting rotary actuator and precision ball bearings permit smooth action without vibration. Mounting can be done from 3 directions; axial side, lateral side or vertical side. The MHR3 series is applicable for clean room class 10.

These grippers utilize a wedge cam design to minimize their size yet retains a high holding force. The small size of the units makes them well suited for end-of-arm or space constrained pick-and-place applications. Round or square objects work well with the four-finger MHS4.

Series MIS is a one-finger type escapement. The MIS has independent fingers for free setting of timing and mounting position to accommodate the work pieces moving down a line. Supply ports on both sides allow selection of piping direction. Separation of the piston and fingers allows easy replacement of fingers for maintenance. Three different finger variations make it possible to freely select attachment mounting surfaces on the fingers.

Series MIW is a slider guide cylinder, with two sequentially operating fingers. The sequential operation uses a mechanically interlocking cam mechanism in addition to control of air passage to the pistons for reliable separation of work pieces. Separation of the piston and fingers allows easy replacement of fingers for maintenance. Three different finger variations make it possible to freely select attachment mounting surfaces on the fingers.

We are pleased to introduce the improved MHT2-Z Series toggle air gripper. This updated model, available in bores from 32 to 63 mm, uses our compact CQ2-Z Series cylinder as its base cylinder, which means that D-M9* round auto switches can be directly mounted on any of its 4 surfaces, thus reducing labour costs and increasing auto switch mounting flexibility.Reliable and safe, the MHT2-Z incorporates safety measures, so the gripper can hold the workpiece even in the event of an air shut down. It also has a gripping moment of up to 106 N•m which makes it suitable for gripping heavy workpieces. Extremely flexible with 3 types of mounting and many made to order options available, this air gripper is suitable for all general pick and place applications, particularly in environments with temperatures up to 100 ºC.

• Holding force up to 1000 N.
• Holds workpieces even when air is shut off.
• Residual holding force 0.3 N or less.
• Holding force can be adjusted.
• Mountable on 3 surfaces.
• Auto switches can be mounted.

The MRHQ series is a rotary gripper suitable for holding and reversing work pieces on transfer lines. The compact integration of gripping and rotating functions eliminates the peripheral piping and wiring of the previous product (rotary table + adapter + air gripper). The length of the MRHQ series has been reduced by approximately 20% compared with the previous products.
