The mechanical gripping force maintenance device ensures that a minimum clamping force will be applied even if there is a drop in pressure. In the AS/S variant this acts as a closing force, in the IS variant as an opening force. Besides this, gripping force maintenance can be used to increase gripping force or for single actuated gripping.
Despite the high moment load of the base jaws, this sealed 3-finger centric gripper meets the requirements of IP67 and does not permit the ingress of any substances from the working environment into the interior of the component.
