SMC MHL2-10D-X2390 & MHL2-16D-X2001 Cylinder — 1PCS New (Twin Pack)

SMC · MHL2 Series · Parallel Guide-Rod Cylinder · In Stock

The SMC MHL2-10D-X2390 and MHL2-16D-X2001 are dual-rod, parallel-style pneumatic cylinders from SMC’s MHL2 family — a Japan-engineered series built for non-rotating, high-rigidity linear motion. Bore options of 10 mm and 16 mm make this twin pack ideal for precision pick-and-place, indexing, clamping and transfer stations on compact assembly machines. Supplied as 1 PCS new, the cylinders are drawn from SMC factory-sealed stock and ready for global shipping.

Engineers specifying the MHL2 series are usually looking for two things at once: a clean double-acting actuator and an integrated guide that resists side load and moment on the rod. The MHL2 delivers both in a single body, removing the alignment headache of pairing a round cylinder with an external linear guide. KOEED stocks the MHL2 family alongside the rest of our SMC pneumatics lineup, with full cross-reference support to the broader pneumatic cylinder catalog from nine major brands we cover — Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Schneider, Yaskawa, Panasonic and KEYENCE.

Key Specifications

Datasheet Highlights

• Integrated guide rod, no separate bearing block. The MHL2 fuses a double-acting cylinder with a parallel twin guide rod, so the piston rod cannot rotate and side loads are absorbed by the guide — a major advantage when the load is offset or off-axis.
• Two bore sizes in one listing. MHL2-10D covers compact, low-inertia motion at smaller force output; MHL2-16D steps up output force by roughly 2.5× for heavier transfer or clamping duties without changing the mounting footprint family.
• Long custom strokes (X2390 / X2001). The X-suffix designates SMC long-stroke variants — useful in transfer lines, ejection mechanisms and wide-axis applications where standard catalog strokes are too short.
• Auto-switch ready. Both MHL2 bores accept SMC D-M9 / D-M9B solid-state auto switches on the guide rod rails, enabling end-of-stroke feedback to PLCs from Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Schneider, Yaskawa, Panasonic or KEYENCE.
• Field-replacement friendly. MHL2 is a direct, in-place replacement for the MHL1 predecessor, with the same port positions and slightly higher allowable kinetic energy on the rod.

Typical Applications

• Pick-and-place heads on electronic parts assembly and small-component packaging lines
• Stopper and clamp cylinders on conveyor transfers, pallet stops and indexing tables
• Light press-fit and insertion stations in connector, relay and small motor assembly
• Workpiece lifters and ejectors in plastic injection and die-casting cells
• Door-and-shutter actuation on machine guards, test chambers and clean-room enclosures
• Field-service replacement of failed MHL1 / round-body cylinders in legacy equipment
• PLC-controlled positioning where 5/2 or 5/3 solenoid valves drive the cycle and the controller (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Schneider, Yaskawa, Panasonic or KEYENCE) handles sequencing
