The piston is moved up and down by compressed air.
The angled active surfaces of the wedge-hook produce a synchronized, parallel jaw motion.

Gripping force maintenance version AS/IS
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 version this acts as a closing force, and in the IS version as an opening force. The image shows the AS version. The gripping force maintenance can also be used to increase the gripping force or for one-way gripping.

Position monitoring via magnetic switch
For monitoring with magnetic switches, the gripper is equipped with two sensor slots. The image shows the "gripper open" and "gripper closed" position query with two MMS 22 sensors.
Position monitoring using inductive proximity switches
The gripper variant "-IN" is prepared for monitoring with two inductive proximity switches. The positions "gripper open" and "gripper closed" are preset. Proximity switches must be ordered separately and are inserted to the stop and clamped. Both switching points can be set individually to monitor any other position such as "workpiece gripped" for example.
Centering and mounting options for gripper assembly
The gripper can be mounted from two screw directions.
Pneumatic connections for the power supply
The gripper can be supplied with compressed air from either side.
- 1
-
On the front side via the main air connections A and B using air fittings and pneumatic hoses.
- 2
-
At the bottom via direct connections a and b, by means of tubeless direct connection and using the O-rings supplied. The pneumatic supply is then provided via the adapter plate.
Application example
Application example
