It accepts external and internal gripping configurations, giving integrators flexibility without requiring a separate unit for each task. The gripper operates on a working pressure range of 15 to 87 psi and cycles at up to 180 cycles per minute, making it well suited for high-throughput pick-and-place systems. The M5 x 0.8 port size is standard for compact pneumatic circuits. Mechanical and automation technicians typically install and commission this component as part of a larger pneumatic actuator assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gripper is built for light-duty industrial gripping tasks in factory automation environments. Its compact envelope, with an overall length of 62.5 millimeters and an overall width of 23.6 millimeters, fits into confined tooling spaces on robotic arms, gantries, and multi-axis positioning systems. The 10-millimeter closing stroke provides controlled jaw travel for consistent part contact. The unit is rated for operating temperatures from -10 degrees C to 60 degrees C, covering most standard indoor manufacturing and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-action design provides powered open and powered close for precise jaw control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports both external and internal gripping modes in a single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating pressure range of 15 to 87 psi suits standard shop-air pneumatic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum cycle rate of 180 cycles per minute for high-speed automation lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM5 x 0.8 port fits compact pneumatic circuit tubing and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-millimeter closing stroke for controlled, repeatable jaw travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style pneumatic gripper for use in double-action angular gripper applications within automated assembly, robotics, and material handling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a qualified automation or mechanical technician. De-energize all pneumatic pressure and electrical signals to the tooling circuit before mounting or porting this gripper. Ensure port fittings are rated for the operating pressure range and that all connections are leak-free before cycling under load. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable facility safety lockout\/tagout procedures during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Angular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHolding Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External and Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 to 87 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Holding Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.40 newtons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Holding Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.40 newtons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5 x 0.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosing Stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.00 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 62.50 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23.60 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -10 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 cpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMC PNEUMATICS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MHC2-16D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52078199144754,"sku":"MHC2-16D","price":235.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c7047402ac19c0d27574f3b29e16111.jpg?v=1790053942","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/smc-pneumatics-mhc2-16d-angular-air-gripper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
