Electric Hand Actuator

Electric Hand Actuator is a KOGANEI compact electric hand for automated gripping and controlled workpiece positioning. Its model designation identifies the selected version and should be retained for purchasing, installation and replacement so the same functional and connection characteristics are maintained.

Product Overview

The Electric Hand Actuator is intended for automated gripping. The principal documented characteristics are Maximum speed - positioning: Up to 50 mm/s; Maximum speed - gripping: 20 [0.787]; Minimum speed: 5 mm/s; Maximum gripping force: 8 to 16; Open/closed stroke: 10 [0.394] (5 mm [0.197 in.] on one side). These characteristics provide the practical starting point for matching the component to the machine architecture, required motion or switching function and available installation space.

Typical Applications

• Automated gripping
• Workpiece positioning
• Robot end-of-arm handling

Application Fit

This type of component is useful where repeatable pneumatic motion, switching or automated handling is required. Application selection should consider the required cycle, load, stroke or switching function, available space and the operating conditions of the machine.

Performance and Technical Characteristics

The technical characteristics below are the main selection points identified for this product. They should be evaluated together because the correct model depends on the complete mechanical, pneumatic and electrical requirements of the equipment.

Technical Selection Points

Installation and Integration

Before installation, verify mounting dimensions, connection requirements, electrical specifications where applicable, pneumatic conditions and available clearance. During commissioning, confirm that the selected component operates correctly within the machine sequence and that associated fittings, tubing, wiring and sensing components are compatible with the chosen model.

Selection and Maintenance Guidance

For procurement and replacement, retain the complete model designation rather than selecting only by the broad product category. This is particularly important when suffixes identify electrical, sensing, mounting or other configuration details. Keeping the complete designation in maintenance records helps prevent substitution with an incompatible variant.
