MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS Présentation
What is a rotary gripper? A rotary gripper is a pneumatically actuated end-effector that combines finger clamping and wrist rotation in one mechanism. In the broader automation taxonomy it sits below pneumatic gripper (a category of motion-control actuator) and above simple parallel air grippers; by merging rotation into the same housing, it removes external hoses, fittings, and timing-skew between the two motions, simplifying PLC ladder logic.
Key differentiating features of the MRHQ25C-180S include a 25 mm bore giving a gripping force suitable for small- to medium-sized workpieces, a 180° rotation angle that reverses part orientation without a separate flip station, integrated M9P-series solid-state auto-switches with PNP / NPN options pre-selected at order code, and a hardened jaw guide for repeatable positioning under high-cycle transfer-line duty. Repeatability is specified at the sub-millimeter level because the rotary axis is mechanically locked after actuation.
Technically the MRHQ25C-180S uses a dual-piston rack-and-pinion drive: one piston drives the parallel jaws through a mechanical linkage, and a second concentric piston rotates the output flange through 180°. The compact integration eliminates peripheral piping of the previous rotary table + adapter + air gripper combination, while the M9PVSDPC (gripper-finger) and M9PS (rotary-axis) switches give PLC feedback without extra wiring harnesses.
Typical applications include part-reversing on transfer lines, machine tending of small turned or stamped components, robotic pick-and-place cells feeding CNC or assembly stations, and end-of-arm tooling on collaborative robots where one EOAT must both grip and reorient the part before placement. The 180° rotation also suits indexing fixtures in electronics assembly and inspection cells.
When designing with the MRHQ25C-180S, confirm operating pressure (typically 0.2 to 0.7 MPa for SMC MRHQ), select air-preparation (FRL) upstream to protect seals, and route the three switch cables away from moving harnesses. Always verify jaw stroke and gripping-force margin against the heaviest workpiece in the mix, and use a soft-start valve if cycle rates are above 60 cpm to avoid water-hammer damage.

Applications typiques
MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS convient pour 6 applications: Part-Reversing on Transfer Lines, CNC Machine Tending, Robotic Pick-and-Place EOAT, Electronics Assembly Indexing, End-of-Line Packaging Reorientation, Small-Part Inspection Cell.
Part-Reversing on Transfer Lines
The MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS is purpose-built for reversing-station duty where a stamped or turned workpiece must be flipped 180° between two consecutive machining or assembly stations. Its integrated parallel gripper plus 180° rotary axis replaces the older two-actuator topology (rotary table + air gripper + adapter plate), eliminating peripheral piping and freeing approximately 20% of station length. The two M9PVSDPC jaw switches give PLC confirmation that the part is clamped before rotation begins, while the M9PS rotary switch confirms end-of-stroke, allowing the downstream station to advance only after a fully registered flip. This combination directly improves transfer-line OEE and reduces mechanical-sanity issues from timing skew.
Recommandé
CNC Machine Tending
For tending CNC lathes and mills, the MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS grips a raw blank from a conveyor, loads the chuck, then retracts and waits for the cycle to finish before re-gripping the finished part and rotating it 180° for unloading onto a separate out-feed conveyor. The 25 mm bore delivers sufficient grip force for typical small steel or aluminum blanks under 0.5 kg. Three pre-wired M9P-series switches plug directly into standard SMC valve manifolds with simplified I/O mapping, cutting integration time for OEM machine builders and reducing wiring errors.
Recommandé
Robotic Pick-and-Place EOAT
On a collaborative robot arm, the MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS functions as a single EOAT that both grips and re-orients a part, removing the need for a second actuator or external rotation stage at the wrist. The compact MRHQ25C body (20% shorter than the prior SMC series) keeps payload within cobot-rated limits while the integrated switches give the safety controller independent confirmation of grip and rotation states — a frequent requirement for collaborative-mode operation. Pneumatic supply is routed through the cobot's umbilical, and the M9P switch wiring plugs into the cobot's discrete I/O.
Recommandé
Electronics Assembly Indexing
In electronics assembly, the MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS indexes small PCB carriers or component trays through a 180° rotation between pick-and-place and inspection cells. The mechanical-lock rotary design ensures the part stays in a known orientation during vision inspection, eliminating camera re-registration overhead. The integrated M9PVSDPC and M9PS switches provide deterministic position feedback to the placement controller, improving cycle-time predictability for high-mix PCB production.
Recommandé
End-of-Line Packaging Reorientation
At packaging lines, the MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS picks a finished product, rotates it 180° to place a label or apply a date-mark facing upward, and sets it on an out-feed belt. The non-lubricated air compatibility keeps the food/pharma packaging area clean, and the sub-millimeter mechanical lock guarantees label orientation accuracy. The M9P-series switches enable PLC handshake with the labeler for reject-station logic.
Recommandé
Small-Part Inspection Cell
The MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS grips a small turned part, rotates it 180° to expose the back side to a vision camera, and triggers an inspection cycle. The integrated M9P switches feed PLC discrete inputs to gate the camera trigger, ensuring no image is captured until the part is fully rotated and stationary. The 25 mm bore and parallel jaw geometry suit small turned parts in the 10-50 mm diameter range typical of precision-machined components.

Notes de conception
The MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS is pneumatically actuated at 0.2-0.7 MPa; supply air MUST be filtered to 5 µm or finer per ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 5 (or better) and dried to dew point ≤ -20 °C for high-cycle transfer-line duty. Install a regulator with gauge upstream to set the working pressure precisely (typical 0.5 MPa), and add a soft-start/dump valve if cycle rates exceed 60 cpm to suppress water hammer that can damage the rotary shaft seal. Failure to air-prepare the supply is the #1 cause of premature seal wear on SMC MRHQ-series grippers.
Do not exceed the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure — oversizing the supply shortens seal life and risks jaw-misalignment under load. Do not route the M9PVSDPC / M9PS switch cables in the same Panduit or cable tray as the motor power wiring for the transfer line; keep ≥100 mm separation to avoid switching noise coupling into the 24 V sensor signal. Always ground the pneumatic manifold and the switch cable shield at one end only (PLC end) to prevent ground-loop-induced false triggers.
Mount the MRHQ25C-180S-M9PVSDPC-M9PS on a rigid fixture plate to preserve the sub-millimeter grip repeatability; flex in the fixture is the leading cause of slip-detect faults at high cycle rates. Use SMC's standard MRHQ mounting bolt pattern and torque to the datasheet value (typical 8-12 N·m for M5/M6). Keep the M9P-series switches away from direct coolant or chip spray — although the switches are IP67-rated, prolonged exposure reduces indicator LED life. Allow 50 mm of clearance around the rotary axis for hose routing.
