The gripper fingers of the parallel gripper are arranged successively on two shared
steel guide rails and can be moved alongside each other.
Compressed air that moves a piston is used to supply power.
The stroke movement of the piston is diverted to both gripper jaws via a connect-
ing rod.
This generates the movement of the gripper jaws.
An internal spring is used to retain the gripping force when there is a drop in pres-
sure.

• Alternating ventilation moves the internal pneumatic piston
1
up and down.
• The power generated in this process is transferred
2
to
the gripper jaws
3
via a kinematic system to produce the
gripping force.
• The double-lip seal

reliably prevents lubricant from
escaping and guarantees protection with IP 64 from the
exterior.
• Integrated gripping force safety device

(only for NC / NO)
Spring inserted in the cylinder chamber used for energy
storage
• The pneumatic piston is controlled by integrated
3/2 NC 24 V DC directional valves.
