The Closing Gripper is a miniature, single-acting air finger designed for precise and reliable gripping applications. It operates in a normally open configuration, engaging automatically when compressed by an air signal to securely hold or position workpieces. Its lightweight design and compact size make it ideal for integration into automated systems where space is limited and quick response times are required.
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the Closing Gripper ensures durability and resistance to corrosion in industrial environments. Notably, no copper-based metallic materials are used in any flow paths, eliminating potential contamination risks and ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fluids and environmental conditions.
The gripper features a K-type finger design with a floating mechanism that enhances stability by allowing the work stopper to remain engaged during operation. This floating type configuration improves performance by reducing impact forces and preventing damage from bumping or misalignment. Blank fingers are available as an optional component for custom applications.
The Closing Gripper is designed for use with compressed air, operating within a pressure range of 0.2 to 0.7 MPa. It can function effectively in ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C, with no freezing conditions allowed. The design ensures stable gripping performance under these operational parameters.
Available in a standard miniature size and configured for single-screw mounting via the radius-matched design, which prevents misalignment during installation. This design allows secure attachment using just one screw, simplifying integration into existing machinery or automation systems.
The Closing Gripper integrates directly with pneumatic control systems through standard air inlet connections. Its interface is compatible with typical air supply lines and can be connected to solenoid valves or other pneumatic actuators without additional adapters or modifications.
