SMCThe MRHQ10D-180S-N is a swing gripper from the MRHQ series manufactured by SMC. It highly integrates the gripping and rotating functions of a gripper into one unit.
This model adopts a parallel opening and closing type (2 jaws) structure, with a cylinder diameter of 10mm, and integrates a 180° swing mechanism. Compared with the traditional combination of "rotary platform + adapter plate + gripper", its structure is more compact, and the overall length can be shortened by about 20%, effectively avoiding the problems of piping and cable entanglement. A single component can complete the combined action of "gripping" and "flipping".

Q: What are the suitable applications for the MRHQ10D-180S-N?
A: It is ideal for automated production lines that require workpieces to be gripped and rotated/reversed. Typical applications include:
Workpiece flipping on conveyor lines: Grabbing workpieces from the conveyor belt, rotating them 180°, and placing them on the other side or at the next workstation.
Assembly and inspection: Grabbing parts and rotating them to a specific angle for assembly, screw fastening, or visual inspection.
Loading and unloading: Achieving a combined "picking-rotating-loading" action on the machine tool, saving cycle time.
Q: Will there be impact when rotating to the 180° position? How to adjust it?
A: This product has a built-in buffer mechanism, and the swing angle is adjustable at both ends. The rotation unit has an adjustment mechanism that allows for fine-tuning within ±5°. The rotation speed can also be controlled by adjusting the speed control valve at the air inlet, achieving smooth start and stop and reducing end-of-line impact.
Q: Can a magnetic switch be installed on the MRHQ10D-180S-N? Which model should I use?
A: Yes, it can. The "D" in the model number indicates a built-in magnetic ring. This product has built-in magnets in both the gripper unit and the rotary unit, allowing for the installation of magnetic switches for position detection. We recommend using SMC's D-M9 series (such as D-M9B, D-M9N) or A9 series solid-state magnetic switches. When ordering, you can specify the model with the switch, such as MRHQ10D-180S-N-M9B (including the rotary detection switch M9BV).
