Pneumatic grippers function by using compressed air to open and close their jaws—also known as fingers—which mimic the action of human hands by gripping, positioning, and handling objects. These grippers commonly feature either two or three fingers, and are powered by single or double-acting pneumatic cylinders for actuation.
The two primary configurations of pneumatic grippers are angular and parallel types. Among them, the parallel gripper is the most prevalent due to its straightforward design and adaptability to objects of varying sizes.
Pneumatic grippers are widely used in automation systems, from handling miniature components like semiconductors to manipulating large items such as automotive parts. They're also frequently integrated into robotic arms for tasks like pick-and-place operations and precise handling tasks in industrial settings.
Benefits of Using a Pneumatic Gripper
Delivers strong gripping force for reliable object handling
Compact and lightweight design enhances system efficiency
Cost-effective compared to other gripping technologies
Easy to install and customize for specific application needs
MHF2 Low Profile Air Gripper
The MHF two finger pneumatic gripper compact design reduces bending moment, improves positional accuracy and saves space. Its double piston gripper construction provides a powerful griping force while remain compact and mounting flexibility is achieved by removing the need for brackets. Auto-switches can be mounted on either side using channels in the body.
Double-acting
Non lubricated

The SMC air gripper is designed to save substantial space. The height of the MHF2 gripper is approximately 1/3 the size of an equivalent MHZ series gripper.
High rigidity
Low profile air gripper
The MHF2 Series is a low profile air gripper, designed to save substantial space. The height of the MHF2 gripper is approximately 1/3 the size of an equivalent MHZ series gripper. Finger strokes are available in short, long, and intermediate for each size. High rigidity can be obtained due to adoption of linear guide.
For these non-cancellable (NC), and non-returnable (NR) products, Terms and Conditions apply.
