Parallel GrippersLow Profile Series

• Precision applications: Preloaded “Dual-V” roller bearings eliminate side play for excellent part position repeatability. • Repeatable grip force: Low friction mechanism allows for consistent, repeatable gripping forces. To grip delicate parts, grip force can be easily altered by adjusting air pressure.

• Longer finger applications: Rigid design allows for longer gripper finger lengths to be used when compared to other grippers of equal weight & size. • Non-synchronous motion: The unit can be made non-synchronous providing independent jaw motion allowing the gripper to pick or place at a point other than it’s center.

Technical Specifications:

Mounting Information: Grippers can be mounted & operated in any orientation

Parallel Grippers Clean Room / Harsh Environments Series

• Precision applications: Preloaded “Dual-V” roller bearings eliminate side play for excellent part position repeatability. • Class 10 Clean Room rated: A corrosion resistant shield protects the drive and bearing mechanism. All internal components are lubricated with clean room grade lubricant. The scavenge port can be used with vacuum pressure to prevent escape of particulate generated by the internal mechanism. Designed for FDA, Medical and Clean Room applications.

• Harsh environments: All moving components are located within the stainless steel shield. The body has a purge port which can expel contaminates from the mechanism using low air pressure. • Repeatable grip force: Low friction mechanism allows for consistent, repeatable gripping forces. To grip delicate parts, grip force can be easily altered by adjusting air pressure.

• Longer finger applications: Rigid design allows for longer gripper finger lengths to be used when compared to other grippers of equal weight. • Non-synchronous motion: The unit can made non-synchronous providing independent jaw motion allowing the gripper to pick or place at a point other than it’s center.

Mounting Information: Grippers can be mounted & operated in any orientation
