Buyer guide
Choosing the Right Gripper or Cylinder
| Type | Mindman series on this page | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Parallel gripper | MCHB, MCHC, MCHH, MCHJ (3-finger) | Gripping parts with flat or round faces; 3-finger grippers centre round parts |
| 180° angular gripper | MCHW, MCHY (cam style) | Jaws open fully out of the way, useful where the gripper must clear the part |
| Clamp and swing clamp cylinder | MCKA, MCKB, MCKG, MCKC | Holding workpieces in welding and machining fixtures |
| Rodless cylinder | MCRPL, MCRPM | Long strokes in a short installed length |
| Stopper cylinder | MSAR, MSBD, MSBR, MSBS | Stopping pallets or cartons on conveyors |
For grippers, check gripping force at your working pressure, jaw stroke, and whether the part weight and finger length are within the gripper's limits. For cylinders, confirm bore, stroke, mounting style and whether you need magnetic piston sensing.
Keeping Grippers Reliable
- Feed clean, dry air through a filter regulator. Water and dirt are the main causes of seal wear and sticky jaws.
- Keep finger length and part weight within the catalogue limits. Long fingers multiply the load on the jaw guides.
- Use flow controls to limit jaw speed so the jaws do not slam on the part.
- Fit reed or proximity switches to confirm the jaw position before the robot or slide moves.
- If a gripper loses force or leaks, ask for a seal kit before replacing the whole unit.

Buyer questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a parallel and an angular gripper?
A parallel gripper moves its jaws in a straight line towards each other, so the fingers stay parallel and grip flat faces evenly. An angular gripper pivots its jaws. A 180° angular gripper such as the Mindman MCHW or MCHY opens its jaws fully out of the way, so the gripper can approach the part without an extra retract motion.
When should I use a 3-finger gripper?
Use a 3-finger parallel gripper such as the Mindman MCHJ when you handle round or cylindrical parts, for example shafts, caps or turned components. The three jaws close together and centre the part automatically, which helps with loading lathes and assembly stations.
How do I select the gripper size?
Work out the force needed to hold the part safely, usually several times the part weight for a friction grip when the part is moving with acceleration. Compare it with the gripping force at your working pressure in the Mindman catalogue, and check finger length, jaw stroke and allowable load. Send us the part weight and size if you need help.
What is a magnetically coupled rodless cylinder?
It is a rodless cylinder where the piston inside a sealed tube drives an outer carriage through magnets, with no mechanical slot in the tube. It gives long strokes in a short installed length and does not leak through a slot. Mindman MCRPM types on this page are magnetically coupled; MCRPL is another rodless type.
Can I get seal kits for Mindman grippers and cylinders?
Seal kits are available for many Mindman models. Send the full model code stamped on the body and we will check whether a seal kit or a complete replacement is the better option. For older or obsolete models, send photos and dimensions so we can find the closest current model.
Do these grippers work with sensors?
Most Mindman grippers and cylinders are made with a magnetic piston option so you can fit reed or solid-state switches to confirm open and closed positions. Check that the model code includes the magnet option and order switches that fit the slot type on the body.
How do I get a price and delivery time?
Send the Mindman model codes with quantities through our request a quote form, by email or by phone. If the code is not readable, send photos and the bore, stroke and mounting details. We will reply with price, availability and dispatch details.
