The MHL2-16D1 is a wide-range parallel opening and closing pneumatic gripper (also known as a parallel pneumatic finger) in SMC's MHL2 series.
It employs a dual-piston rack and pinion synchronization mechanism, achieving precise centering and smooth opening and closing of the two fingers. Due to its wide stroke design (opening and closing stroke up to 60mm), a single gripper can handle a variety of workpieces with varying diameters. This gripper also features a built-in dustproof mechanism and oil-impregnated metal bearings, making it compact, durable, and suitable for the flexible gripping of parts of different sizes on automated production lines.

Core Features
- ✓ Wide opening and closing range: The fingers have a large opening and closing stroke (60mm for the 16-cylinder D1 model), allowing for the gripping of a wide range of workpiece sizes.
- ✓ Double gripping force: The dual-piston structure design provides powerful clamping force (approximately 45N at 0.5MPa) within a compact size.
- ✓ Smooth synchronization: The rack and pinion mechanism ensures precise and synchronized opening and closing of the two fingers, with high repeatability (±0.1mm).
- ✓ Dustproof and durable: Utilizes double-ended oil-impregnated resin bearings with metal backing and a built-in dustproof mechanism, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of workpieces is the MHL2-16D1 suitable for gripping?
A: It is suitable for scenarios requiring large-stroke opening and closing to grip workpieces of different sizes. For example, on automated assembly lines, it can be used to grip cylindrical parts with large diameter variations (such as bottles, motor housings, and bearing rings). One gripper can cover multiple specifications without frequent changes.
Q: Can it be used in dusty environments?
A: Yes. This gripper comes standard with a built-in dustproof mechanism to prevent dust, debris, and other foreign objects from entering and affecting the operation of the gear and rack mechanism. It is suitable for woodworking, ceramics, casting, and other dusty environments.
Q: Can the MHL2-16D1 be fitted with a magnetic switch? What model?
A: Yes, it can. The pneumatic gripper cylinder has a pre-drilled slot for a switch, making it compatible with SMC's D-M9 series (such as D-M9B, D-M9N, D-M9P) or A9 series magnetic switches. For example, the complete model with a switch is MHL2-16D1-M9BAL. When selecting a model, pay attention to the switch cable length and wiring method.
