Quick Verdict
The SMC JMHZ2 is a compact two-finger parallel pneumatic gripper available in bore sizes of 8, 12, 16 and 20 mm, with an opening/closing stroke of 4 to 14 mm and a repeatability of ±0.01 mm. External gripping force per finger ranges from 7.8 N to 54.2 N at 0.5 MPa across the sizes. It is designed for handling small parts where low tool weight matters, such as assembly, pick-and-place and machine tending on small robots. The double-acting version weighs between 31 g and 240 g and runs on unlubricated compressed air at 0.1 to 0.7 MPa (0.15 to 0.7 MPa for the 8 mm bore) at ambient temperatures of -10 to 60 °C. Single-acting normally open and normally closed versions are also available. It is listed from USD 210.
