Compact Air Gripper for Precision Automation
The SMC MHC2-16D compact air gripper is built for automated handling tasks that require a small footprint and reliable actuation. Its anodised aluminium body and stainless steel fingers suit clean or light-industrial environments. The metric design integrates directly into metric-standard fixturing and robotic end-effectors.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
Pneumatic operation means the gripper itself generates no electrical heat and runs silently apart from exhaust air. Energy consumption depends entirely on the upstream compressor and the 22 to 87 psi supply pressure you regulate. No onboard motor or electronics are present to add thermal load or audible noise.
27.7 mm Open Width Defines Part Fit
The maximum jaw opening is 27.7 mm, so only workpieces or features narrower than this can be gripped. The 40-degree finger rotation provides a consistent stroke within that limit. If your application demands a wider spread or a different stroke angle, this model will not suit.

Questions about this item
How is the MHC2-16D gripper mounted and what alignment step is often missed?
The unit has a 62.5 mm overall length with metric mounting holes on the anodized aluminum body; the step often missed is aligning the 40-degree rotation axis parallel to the workpiece so the 27.7 mm open width engages evenly.
What maintenance will the MHC2-16D need over time?
Periodically clean the stainless-steel fingers and check the anodized body for corrosion; lubricate the pivot points with light pneumatic oil and reseal if air leaks appear at the 14.5 psi minimum operating pressure.
What limit appears first during continuous cycling of the MHC2-16D?
The 87 psi maximum operating pressure ceiling is reached first; sustained operation near that pressure accelerates seal wear and reduces the effective 40-degree rotation range before the 22 psi minimum can be maintained.
