Pneumatic angular (pivoting) 2-finger gripper across 5 bore sizes (6-25mm), double- or single-acting; jaws pivot 30° to -10° via a double-piston mechanism, holding moment 0.024-1.36 N·m -- for odd-shaped or space-constrained parts a linear-stroke gripper can't reach.

pneumaticangularpivoting2-fingerdouble-piston

Overview

The MHC2 angular-style air gripper pivots its two fingers open/closed (30° to -10°, both sides) via a double-piston rack-and-pinion mechanism, rather than translating them linearly like a parallel gripper -- useful for odd-shaped workpieces or tight spaces where a linear-stroke gripper's swept envelope won't fit. It spans 5 bore sizes (6, 10, 16, 20, 25mm), each offered double-acting or single-acting (spring-return, normally open), with a built-in variable throttle for finger-speed adjustment and an optional mountable solid-state auto switch (2-wire/3-wire) for position sensing. SMC's catalog also lists a related 'Compact Type' page (MHCA2-6 short-body and MHCM2-7 further-miniaturized single-acting-only) under the same MHC family, but those use different model-number prefixes and are not covered by this listing.
