The new parallel (Model MHFZ) and angular (Model MHFY) grippers feature robust, clean and compact extruded aluminum bodies for maximum mounting efficiency. A magnetic piston for position sensing is included on all models. The parallel grippers are available in double and single acting with seven bore sizes and two finger types, offering a range of gripping force output to 144 lbf.The angular grippers are available in double and single acting with six bore sizes, offering a range of torque output to 65 lbs. Both are interchangeable with popular international brands.
The gripper line is particularly suited to a broad range of general automation processes, including pick & place, material transfer, clamping, camming and indexing.
“The parallel and angular grippers are a logical extension of the full line of rotary actuators, air preparation equipment, solenoid valves, and extruded thrusters that comprise our MFD product series. The new gripper series maintains the high quality standard for which MFD Pneumatics is known and that our customers have come to expect,” said Tom Kane, General Manager for Mead Fluid Dynamics.
