HFR series Finger cylinder 180\u00b0 Opening\/Closing Type consists of pneumatic grippers featuring a 180\u00b0 wide-opening, pivot-style action; all models are double-acting and designed as direct equivalents to the SMC MHY2 series. Utilizing a cam drive mechanism to rotate the two gripper jaws around a pivot point, they achieve a maximum opening angle of 180\u00b0\u2014allowing the jaws to lie completely flat\u2014making them specialized cylinders for wide-angle gripping applications.<\/p>\n
Dual-piston and cam-driven mechanism with dual-port pneumatic control:
\nAir Inlet 1: Gripper jaws retract inward to clamp;
\nAir Inlet 2: Gripper jaws rotate outward to open, spreading flat to 180\u00b0;
\nNo internal springs; opening and closing are controlled by air pressure, and the jaws maintain their current position upon loss of air supply.<\/p>\n
A metal sheet separates the gripper and the front cover, reducing wear and extending service life.<\/p>\n
The finger opening and closing mechanism features a special design that effectively prevents debris from entering.<\/p>\n
180\u00b0 opening\/closing action simplifies pick-and-place operations and avoids the workspace occupied by moving workpieces.<\/p>\n
Mounting holes are provided on both the side and bottom surfaces to facilitate installation and use under various conditions; mounting options include side, rear, and front configurations.<\/p>\n
Mounting slots for round sensors (magnetic switches) are provided on two sides, eliminating the need for mounting accessories and offering convenience and flexibility.<\/p>\n
