Grippers & Actuators

SMC's gripper and actuator portfolio covers pneumatic parallel grippers (MHZ2 series), angular grippers (MHW2 series), 3-jaw grippers (MHSL), long-stroke grippers (MHL2), and electric grippers (LEHZ/LEHF series) with programmable force and position control. Electric linear actuators (LEYG/LEFS series) provide servo-class positioning in a pneumatic actuator form factor. The LEHZ electric gripper series uses a precision servo motor and ball-screw mechanism to deliver programmable gripping force, speed, and position — enabling gentle product handling for fragile components and adaptive gripping.

Applications

  • Pick-and-place handling of small parts on assembly and test machines.
  • Electric gripper force control for fragile component handling without product damage.
  • Rotary actuator positioning for indexing, turning, and orientation of workpieces.
  • Long-stroke parallel gripper for large workpiece gripping in machine loading.
  • Electric linear actuator axes for programmable positioning without pneumatic supply.

Key Features

  • MHZ2 pneumatic parallel grippers in 6–100 mm opening with auto-switch grooves.
  • MHW2 angular grippers and MHSL 3-jaw grippers for cylindrical workpieces.
  • LEHZ/LEHF electric gripper series with programmable force, speed, and position.
  • CRTU/MSZ rotary actuators in 90° and 180° configurations with adjustable stops.
  • LEFS/LEYG electric linear actuators with AC servo motor and ball-screw drive.
