SMC MHM magnetic gripper

The SMC MHM is a compact magnetic gripper for the safe handling of sheet metal and other ferromagnetic workpieces. It generates a high holding force without vacuum technology and holds the workpiece reliably even when the compressed air is switched off. The gripper available in four sizes from Ø16 to Ø50 mm and offer flexible mounting options.

High holding force without vacuum
Up to 1000 N holding force (Ø50, 6 mm steel plate) – ideal for sheet metal, perforated or uneven surfaces.
Holds even without air supply
Drop prevention: The magnet holds the workpiece securely, even when the air supply is turned off.
Adjustable holding force
A mechanism allows the attractive force to be adjusted to protect thin workpieces from deformation.

Description

The MHM magnetic gripper is particularly suitable for applications where conventional vacuum technology reaches its limits—such as when handling perforated sheets, structured surfaces, or air-permeable workpieces. The compact design, integrated magnetic mechanism, and option of front, side, or central mounting allow for flexible integration.

Optionally, auto switches can be mounted on two sides to evaluate status queries such as "workpiece held" or "released" directly in the process. For applications in which workpieces vary in strength or are sensitive, the adjustable holding force offers additional safety.
