SMC MHS2-50D Finger Pneumatic Gripper
1. Product Overview
The SMC MHS2-50D is a 2-finger parallel-style pneumatic gripper from SMC’s MHS2 series, designed for medium-to-heavy – duty industrial automation tasks requiring robust, precise gripping and handling of workpieces. It has a 50 mm bore diameter and a double – acting wedge cam mechanism, which converts linear piston motion into synchronous parallel jaw movement, ensuring stable and balanced clamping force. This gripper is suitable for external – diameter (OD) and internal – diameter (ID) gripping of cylindrical, rectangular, or irregular workpieces in automotive component assembly, machinery manufacturing, and heavy – duty material handling. It integrates a slide guide system for high positional repeatability (±0.01 mm) and lateral load resistance. The round, vertically compact body design allows flexible mounting on robotic arms, linear actuators, or fixtures, and it can be equipped with magnetic proximity sensors for real – time position feedback. It meets industrial durability standards and delivers reliable performance with minimal maintenance in typical operating environments.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Parallel Synchronous Gripping | A wedge cam mechanism drives two fingers for precise parallel opening and closing, avoiding lateral workpiece displacement and ensuring even gripping force distribution. |
| Double – Acting Bidirectional Operation | Uses compressed air for both gripping (jaw closing) and releasing (jaw opening), with no return springs needed. Gripping force can be adjusted via pressure regulation for different workpiece requirements. |
| OD/ID Workpiece Compatibility | Can grip workpieces by their outer diameter (for holding) or inner diameter (for expanding and fixing), adapting to diverse shapes like cylindrical shafts and hollow components. |
| Magnetic Position Feedback | A built – in magnetic ring in the piston enables the installation of magnetic proximity sensors, providing open/closed status signals for PLC – controlled sequence operations and safety interlocks. |
| Lateral Load Resistance | The integrated slide guide system bears lateral and moment loads, protecting internal components and ensuring consistent performance during heavy – duty clamping or pressing tasks. |
| Flexible Mounting | Standardized threaded holes on the body and base support back – side or bottom mounting, facilitating integration into various automation setups. |
3. Technical Features
- Wedge Cam – Driven Precision: The wedge cam mechanism ensures zero finger misalignment and repeatable positioning accuracy of ±0.01 mm, essential for high – precision assembly and handling.
- Robust Load – Bearing Slide Guide: The slide guide system supports lateral loads, preventing finger deflection and extending the gripper’s service life under heavy – duty conditions.
- Durable Corrosion – Resistant Build: The main body is made of hard – anodized aluminum alloy; fingers and internal components are crafted from SUS304 stainless steel with hard chrome plating, enhancing wear and corrosion resistance.
- Adjustable Gripping Force: Gripping force ranges from 50 N to 650 N (at 0.1–0.6 MPa operating pressure), with 280 N (closing) and 306 N (opening) at 0.5 MPa, meeting various workpiece clamping needs.
- Broad Operating Range: Works reliably at an air pressure of 0.1–0.6 MPa and an ambient temperature of – 10°C to 60°C, compatible with filtered compressed air (particle size ≤5 μm).
- Sensor Integration Ease: Compatible with SMC D – M9 series magnetic switches, which can be mounted in the body’s side grooves without extra brackets, simplifying setup and maintenance.
- Low Maintenance: Sealed internal components and a pre – lubricated cam mechanism allow maintenance – free operation, reducing downtime and operational costs.
