SMC MRHQ16D-180S-N Rotary Gripper Cylinder MRHQ16D180SN
1. Product Overview
The SMC MRHQ16D-180S-N is a 2-finger parallel rotary gripper cylinder from SMC’s MRHQ series, integrating gripping and 180° rotary functions in a compact cylindrical body. It features a 16 mm bore, double-acting operation, and a single-vane rotary mechanism for precise 180° ±10° rotation (adjustable by ±5° at both ends). The parallel – finger design, driven by a wedge cam, ensures synchronous opening/closing with a 3 mm single – finger stroke, suitable for handling small – to – medium – sized cylindrical, square, or polygonal workpieces in transfer lines, assembly stations, and robotic pick – and – place tasks. Its integrated structure reduces piping/wiring tangling and is 20% shorter in longitudinal dimension than combined rotary table – air gripper setups. The built – in magnetic ring supports magnetic switches for position feedback, enabling seamless PLC integration, and it has ±0.01 mm finger repeatability for high – precision automation.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| 2 – Finger Parallel Synchronous Gripping | Wedge cam mechanism drives two parallel fingers to open/close synchronously, providing balanced clamping force for stable holding of regular – shaped workpieces without lateral displacement. |
| 180° Adjustable Rotary Action | Single – vane rotary unit achieves 180° rotation, with ±5° adjustability at both ends, ideal for workpiece flipping, orientation change, and transfer in automated production lines. |
| Double – Acting Bidirectional Control | Compressed air powers both finger clamping/releasing and rotary actuation, allowing independent adjustment of gripping force and rotation speed via pressure regulation. |
| Magnetic Position Feedback | Piston – mounted magnetic ring enables installation of magnetic switches, delivering open/closed and rotational position signals for system synchronization and safety interlocks. |
| Space – Saving Integration | Combined gripping and rotary functions eliminate the need for separate rotary tables and adapters, reducing longitudinal dimensions by ~20% and minimizing piping/wiring tangling. |
| Versatile Mounting | Standard threaded holes on the body/base support back – side or bottom mounting, facilitating integration into robotic arms, linear slides, or fixtures for diverse automation layouts. |
3. Technical Features
- Integrated Gripping & Rotary Design: Combines parallel gripping and 180° rotation in one compact unit, streamlining end – of – arm tooling and cutting assembly time/space requirements.
- Precision Rotary Adjustability: 180° ±10° rotation range with ±5° end – stop adjustment, meeting strict angular positioning needs in workpiece transfer and orientation tasks.
- Durable Construction: Hard – anodized aluminum alloy body, carbon steel fingers, and SUS304 stainless steel piston rods/fasteners resist wear and corrosion in industrial settings.
- Adjustable Performance: Gripping force (40 N at 0.5 MPa), rotation speed (0.07–0.3 s/90° at 0.5 MPa), and rotation angle are adjustable to suit various workpiece and process demands.
- Broad Operating Range: Works with 0.25–0.7 MPa air pressure and in – 10°C to 60°C ambient temperatures, compatible with filtered compressed air (particle size ≤5 μm).
- Easy Sensor Integration: Compatible with SMC D – M9 series magnetic switches, mountable in side grooves without extra brackets for simple setup and maintenance.
- Low Maintenance: Sealed internal components and pre – lubricated cam/rotary mechanisms enable maintenance – free operation, reducing downtime and operational costs.
