Compact Air Gripper for Precision Handling
The SMC MHC2-10D is a compact air gripper designed for automated pick-and-place tasks in confined spaces. Its 52.4 mm overall length and 16.4 mm width suit tight machine layouts. The anodized aluminum body with stainless steel fingers resists corrosion in industrial environments. It delivers a 40-degree rotational grip action for secure part handling.
Verify Pressure Supply and Mounting Space
Confirm your compressed air system delivers between 14.5 psi and 87 psi to match the operating range. The gripper requires an 18.9 mm open width clearance for the workpiece. Ensure the mounting pattern aligns with the 23 mm overall height and metric thread specifications. No electrical connections are needed for this pneumatic device.
Replaces Larger Grippers in Space-Constrained Cells
This unit upgrades from bulkier parallel grippers when cycle time and footprint reduction are priorities. The jump is worth it when the 40-degree rotation eliminates a separate rotary actuator. It is not suited for applications needing wider jaw travel or higher clamping force beyond the specified pressure limits.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need to buy fittings or tubing separately?
The package contains the MHC2-10D gripper body only; pneumatic fittings, tubing and compressed-air supply must be sourced separately.
Which pressure range suits my application — the 14.5 psi minimum or the 87 psi maximum?
Operate between 14.5 psi and 87 psi; choose a regulator setting that delivers the grip force you need without exceeding 87 psi.
How does the 52.4 mm overall length affect mounting in a tight fixture?
At 52.4 mm long, 16.4 mm wide and 23 mm high, the anodised aluminium body fits confined spaces while the stainless-steel fingers open 18.9 mm and rotate 40 degrees.
