Gripper Characteristics




   Gripper Style       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Angular
 
     Grippers pivot at base, such as fingers.
 
   Parallel
 
     Grippers move linearly in same plane, such as clamps or chuck jaws.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Gripper Actuation       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Manual
 
     Actuated by hand crank, wheel, levers, or other manual or mechanical means.
 
   Electric
 
     Grippers fingers or jaws actuated by electric motor, solenoid, etc.
 
   Pneumatic
 
     Gripper is actuated by compressed air acting on a cylinder or vanes.
 
   Hydraulic
 
     Gripper is actuated by hydraulic fluid acting on a cylinder or vanes.
 
   Other
 
     Unlisted or specialized application gripper style.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Gripper Action       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Single Action
 
     Gripper contains drive in only one direction. Single action grippers frequently incorporate a return spring to the unpowered position (supply pressure or electricity off).
 
   Double Action
 
     Gripper is actuated both open and closed. Force ratings can differ in the two directions.
 
   Double Action Spring Assist Open
 
     Actuation method opens and closes gripper, but with spring assist in open direction (spring opposes closing).
 
   Double Action Spring Assist Close
 
     Actuation method opens and closes gripper, but with spring assist in the close direction (spring opposes opening).
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Parallel Gripper Specifications




   Gripping Force:
 
     Available force for gripping at rated power. Note that jaw force is not additive; two jaws each rated at 10 lbs. force, for example, will provide a total gripping force of 10 lbs.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Stroke:
 
     Available motion for each jaw or finger; half of total. A multi-jaw parallel gripper that can grip an item from 1 to 2 inches in diameter, for example, will have ½" stroke for each jaw or finger.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Gripping Size:
 
     Grip size for actuated gripper; user may specify range. Grippers frequently allow for custom machined fingers or jaws to be attached.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Angular Gripper Specifications




   Gripping Torque:
 
     Available torque for gripping at rated power. Torque can be divided by distance from pivot to obtain gripping force. Note that jaw force is not additive; two fingers each configured to grip at 10 lbs. force, for example, will provide a total gripping force of 10 lbs.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Angular Stroke:
 
     Angular stroke is the full operational angle for each finger. This is half of total. Fingers that open 120°, for example, will each have a stroke of 60°.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   180° Open?
 
     Fingers open 90° or more each for total part clearance.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Gripping Size:
 
     Grip size for actuated gripper; user may specify range. Grippers frequently allow for custom machined fingers or jaws to be attached.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

   Cushioned Jaws?
 
     Jaws are covered with a material such as rubber or Teflon to cushion part or reduce marring.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Encapsulating Jaws?
 
     Indent, radius or notch in gripper finger or jaw to grip around part instead of gripping on jaw flats.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Internal and External Gripping?
 
     Gripper can grip in both closing and opening directions.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Switch?
 
     Switch for indicating whether gripper is in open or closed position.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Position Feedback?
 
     Digital or analog signal indicating jaw or finger position along stroke.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Operating Temperature:
 
     Full required range of ambient operating temperature.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
