SPEEDAIRE MHZ2-16D Parallel Air Gripper 16 mm

The SPEEDAIRE MHZ2-16D is a metric parallel air gripper designed for automated handling tasks. It uses compressed air to open and close two fingers in a straight line. The unit suits pick-and-place operations, assembly fixtures and light machining load-unload cycles where repeatable parallel motion is required.

Check compressed air supply

Verify that your system can deliver between 14.5 psi and 101.5 psi of clean dry air. Confirm the 38 mm overall length, 67.3 mm width and 23.6 mm height fit the available envelope on your machine frame or robot end-effector. Ensure the 6 mm stroke and 20.9 mm open width match the part geometry you intend to grip.

Suits light-duty parallel gripping

This gripper suits engineers building metric-based automation cells who need anodised aluminium bodies and stainless-steel fingers. It is not for applications that require angular jaw motion, higher clamping force than the pressure range allows or stroke lengths beyond 6 mm. Buyers needing larger bores or different finger patterns should evaluate other series.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the SPEEDAIRE MHZ2-16D and do I need to order fittings or tubing separately?

The gripper body is supplied ready to mount. Pneumatic fittings and tubing for the M5 ports are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I decide between the 16 mm bore and other sizes in the MHZ2 range?

Choose the 16 mm bore when the application needs a 6 mm stroke, 20.9 mm open width and a maximum pressure of 101.5 psi in a 38 mm long housing.

What does the 101.5 psi maximum pressure mean for day-to-day clamping force?

At 101.5 psi the parallel fingers deliver the rated gripping force for this bore size; actual force drops proportionally if your shop air runs lower.
