SMC MHS4-16D Pneumatic Air Gripper Cylinder MHS416D
1. Product Overview
The SMC MHS4-16D is a 4-finger parallel-style pneumatic air gripper from SMC’s MHS4 series, designed for precise and stable gripping of square, round, or regular polygonal workpieces in industrial automation applicationsSMC Corporation of America. With a 16 mm bore diameter and a 4 mm single-finger stroke, it uses a wedge cam mechanism to drive four parallel fingers for synchronous opening and closing, ensuring balanced force distribution and zero lateral displacement. Its cylindrical, compact body design (overall diameter 30 mm, length 35 mm) makes it ideal for space-constrained end-of-arm tooling, electronic component assembly, and precision pick-and-place tasks. The double-acting operation enables adjustable gripping force, and it is compatible with magnetic switches for real-time position feedback, ensuring reliable integration into automated production linesSMC Corporation of America. It offers ±0.01 mm repeatability, making it suitable for applications requiring high positional accuracy.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| 4-Finger Parallel Synchronous Gripping | Four parallel fingers driven by a wedge cam mechanism ensure synchronous, balanced opening and closing, providing stable clamping of square, round, or polygonal workpieces without lateral deflectionSMC Corporation of America. |
| Double-Acting Bidirectional Operation | Uses compressed air for both gripping (finger closing) and releasing (finger opening), eliminating return springs and enabling adjustable gripping force via pressure regulationSMC Corporation of America. |
| OD/ID Dual Gripping Modes | Can grip workpieces by their outer diameter (OD) for holding or inner diameter (ID) for expanding and fixing, adapting to diverse workpiece geometries like cylindrical shafts and hollow components. |
| Magnetic Position Feedback | Built-in magnetic ring in the piston allows installation of magnetic proximity sensors, providing open/closed status signals for PLC-controlled sequence operations and safety interlocksSMC Corporation of America. |
| Flexible Mounting | Standardized threaded holes on the body and base support back-side or bottom mounting, facilitating integration into robotic arms, linear slides, or fixtures. |
| Lateral Load Resistance | The integrated slide guide system bears lateral and moment loads, protecting internal components and ensuring consistent performance during clamping or pressing tasks. |
3. Technical Features
- Wedge Cam-Driven Precision: The wedge cam mechanism converts linear piston motion into precise parallel finger displacement, ensuring zero finger misalignment and consistent force distribution.
- Compact Cylindrical Design: With an overall diameter of 30 mm and length of 35 mm, the gripper fits into narrow installation spaces, reducing the overall system footprint.
- Durable Construction: The main body is made of hard-anodized aluminum alloy; fingers and internal components are crafted from carbon steel and stainless steel for wear and corrosion resistance in industrial environments.
- Adjustable Gripping Force: OD gripping force is 10 N and ID gripping force is 12 N at 0.5 MPa, with a pressure range of 0.2–0.6 MPa for adapting to different workpiece requirements.
- Broad Operating Conditions: Functions reliably at an air pressure range of 0.2–0.6 MPa and an ambient temperature range 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 maintenanceSMC Corporation of America.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Sealed internal components and a pre-lubricated cam mechanism allow maintenance-free operation, reducing downtime and operational costs.
