Parallel Grippers
Parallel Grippers most popular type of gripper where opposing jaws travel in parallel to hold a workpiece.
Gripper series MHF, low profile design, saves space, reduces bending moments and improves accuracy with smooth operation. Available with three standard stroke lengths (short, medium, long) for each bore size.
Gripper series MHL2 is designed for applications that require a wide range of travel for gripping many different sized workpieces. The MHL2 finger motion is synchronized by a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The double piston construction creates a compact gripper with a large holding force. Vacuum ports, copper fluorine and silicon free options available.
Gripper series MHQJ2 is available in three dust cover materials: standard rubber, fluororubber and silicone rubber. The MHQG2, high rigidity gripper is avaialble in both single and double acting types.
Gripper series MHR2 utilizes a parallel opening and closing mechanism that features a cross roller guide to permit smooth action without vibration for high precision and long life.
Gripper series MHZ2 has an integrated linear guide for high rigidity, positioned with two dowel pins to prevent guide slippage. It has mounitng versatility on three sides, in five configurations. Available in single acting (N.O., N.C.) and double acting.
Grippers series MHK2 and MHS utilize a wedge cam design to minimize their overall size, allow no lateral vibration along stroke direction once the workpiece is held, while retaining a high holding force.
