The Wide Type Air Gripper MHL2 series is engineered for applications requiring long strokes for varying dimensions, and this series featured with finger movement driven by a rack-and-pinion mechanism. Its dual-body design delivers a compact gripper structure with high gripping force. The MHL2 series demonstrates unparalleled performance under complex operating conditions.
It maintains stable operation in high-temperature, high-pressure as well as low-temperature environments, ensuring safe and accurate performance for every actuation cycle. Additionally, its long-service-life design lowers maintenance costs and improves overall production-line efficiency.
Q1: How does the pneumatic gripper work?
The gripper is connected to a compressed-air supply system. When compressed air enters the cylinder chamber, it drives the piston rod. The piston rod is coupled to the gripper fingers. As air pressure moves the piston back and forth, the gripper fingers open or close in parallel or angular motion.
Q2: What are the applications of pneumatic grippers?
Pneumatic grippers are widely adopted in numerous pneumatic systems for grasping and securing areas. These grippers can carry out part handling, insertion, stacking and re-orientation to fulfil required process steps in automated manufacturing.
Q3: What types of pneumatic grippers are available?
Pneumatic gripping cylinders are categorised into: Parallel Type Grippers(MHZ2), Cam Style (MHY2), Air Gripper with Finger Change Function(MHF2),Rack & Pinion Style(MHW2),Rotary Gripper Parallel Type(MRHQ),Angular Style(MHC2), Parallel Style with Wide Opening(MHL,) and so on.
Q4: What is the difference between angular grippers and parallel grippers?
Fingers of parallel grippers travel linearly toward or away from the production centre to clamp or release parts respectively. Angular grippers adopt hinge-pivot structure; the finger tips swing outward for part release or swing inward for clamping.
Q5: What is gripper bore size?
High-precision wide-opening parallel air grippers are available in multiple sizes and configurations with optional bore diameters: 10 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm and 40 mm.
Q6: How to choose a suitable gripper?
When selecting a gripper for your application, key evaluation criteria include suitable finger length, gripping force, stroke, actuation time and positioning accuracy. Feel free to contact us for technical support and purchasing guidance if you require further details.
