Will the SMC RMHS3-40D-051P-DE fit my Universal Robot?

The SMC RMHS3-40D-051P-DE mounts to Universal Robots including the UR10e, as well as FANUC CRX, Yaskawa HC10 series, and Omron/Techman cobots. It uses a standard mounting interface and connects via a single air tube and one electrical cable for streamlined installation.

What is a pneumatic gripper used for?

Pneumatic grippers like the RMHS3 are used to automatically grip and hold workpieces in tasks such as palletising, pick-and-place, machine tending, laboratory automation, and precision assembly. The RMHS3 specifically handles cylindrical and round items like test tubes, bottles, and bar stock with repeatable 0.1 mm precision.

How much weight can a pneumatic gripper hold?

The SMC RMHS3 can hold a maximum workpiece weight of 2.4 kg and applies an internal gripping force of 130 N with 8 mm stroke per jaw. This force and capacity are suitable for secure, centered clamping of round and irregular parts.

Do pneumatic grippers use a lot of air?

The RMHS3 consumes 80 percent less air than standard pneumatic grippers, making it highly efficient for continuous production runs. Integrated valve and silencer components further reduce assembly complexity and energy waste.

Can I quickly change tools on this gripper?

Yes, the SMC RMHS3 includes a manual tool changer with two clamper bolts that enables fast swaps between different end effectors. This allows flexible workflows without lengthy reconfiguration.

Pneumatic 3-finger gripper vs. standard 2-finger pneumatic grippers:

The SMC RMHS3 is built for centering and holding round or irregular parts where a 2-finger design would slip or require more clamping force. Choose this gripper when your parts are cylindrical, bottles, test tubes, or bar stock that benefit from three-point contact and repeatability.

For round workpieces under 2.4 kg on shared cobot cells, the centered 3-finger design grips without rotation, eliminating re-orientation steps in pick-and-place and machine tending.
When air consumption matters, the RMHS3 uses 80 percent less compressed air than standard pneumatic grippers, cutting energy costs and allowing more cells per compressor line.
For laboratory and precision assembly tasks requiring 0.1 mm grip repeatability, the high-precision linear guide delivers stable performance across high-cycle runs.
Where installation speed is critical, the single air tube, integrated valve, and manual tool changer reduce assembly time versus multi-line pneumatic setups.
