The SMC 11-MHL2-10D-M9BZ is a clean room specification parallel style wide opening air gripper from the MHL2 series. Part number decoded: MHL2 = MHL2 series parallel wide opening gripper, 10 = size 10, D = double-acting, M9BZ = pre-mounted auto-switch (M9B type with Z clean room specification). The MHL2 is SMC's wide-opening parallel gripper, providing significantly more jaw travel than the standard MHZ2 angular gripper.
What makes the MHL2 a "wide opening" gripper? Standard grippers like the MHZ2 open and close over a relatively small distance. The MHL2 uses a long-stroke parallel mechanism that enables the jaws to open much wider relative to the gripper body size. This extended opening is essential for applications where the gripper must clear large workpiece features during approach, accommodate a wide range of part sizes with the same gripper, or reach around obstacles to access the gripping surface. In clean room environments, wide opening enables handling of parts with varying dimensions on the same production line without gripper changeover.
The MHL2-10D-M9BZ provides wide-opening parallel gripping with auto-switch at the smallest MHL2 size. For standard-opening parallel gripping, the MHZ2-10 provides a more compact option when wide opening is unnecessary. For larger MHL2 sizes, the MHL2-40 provides 40mm size with significantly higher force and opening. For rotary gripping instead of parallel, the MHR2-10 provides cam-actuated rotary jaws. Clean series (11-) fluorine grease. RoHS compliant.
