MISUMI USA, Inc. recently announced the availability of several new specialty clamp cylinders, rotary clamp cylinders and air grippers for use in industrial machinery, testing and inspection devices, and factory automation equipment. The new products are compact, lightweight, strong and highly versatile. Their rugged construction and precise engineering ensure reliable and repeatable performance in a wide range of clamping and gripping applications.

Misumi’s three new product line additions include:

— Clamp Cylinders, Compressed Air Types (MCCLA) are designed with crevices having concave knuckles for firm and secure holding. They are available in tube inner diameter sizes of 40 mm, 50 mm and 63 mm, with St Stroke selection of 75, 100 or 125. Also available for use with the clamp cylinders are Tie Rod Kits (MCCLT) and Mounting Brackets (MCCLK) for cylinder sensors. MISUMI provides a comprehensive guide to clamp cylinder selection in the 2011 print and online catalog.

— Rotary Clamp Cylinders, Compressed Air Types (MKRCA) are square, compact cylinders with a built-in rotary (swing) clamping mechanism suitable for clamping small work pieces, such as electronic parts, in limited spaces. They offer high strength and rigid construction for enhanced durability and wear resistance, and are equipped with two guide grooves compatible with all diameters. The products are available in varying sizes and tube inner diameters. Also available are accessories, including cylinder sensors and brackets of various types (straight, U-shaped and square).

— Compact Air Grippers, Parallel Type, Open/Close Stroke (ACHK, ACHE and ACHKM/Mechanical Type) are designed to perform precise work piece handling and pick-and-place functions in a wide range of automated assembly machines, testing and inspection devices. The high-rigidity products provide strong, secure gripping force, as well as consistent accuracy and repeatability. The compact grippers are available in single or double acting versions and in a range of sizes. MISUMI offers a comprehensive guide to air gripper selection in the 2011 print and online catalog.


With no minimum order requirements or set-up charges on a product portfolio of more than 1,000,000 metric and inch mechanical components, MISUMI has built its reputation as the premier global supplier of high quality factory automation components. At the heart of the MISUMI business model is the unique CAD Configurator and convenient Web Ordering System. Exclusive to MISUMI, this business model offers customers an effective strategy for reducing costs and gaining competitive advantage through streamlined production and assembly processes and faster time-to-market.
