DESTACO COMPACT, ELECTRIC 2-JAW PARALLEL GRIPPERS – RPE SERIES Alternatives & Competitors

As easy as a pneumatic gripper to control and operate, these electric parallel grippers are plug and play with no programming, tuning or adjusting required. The units only 3W required, can be driven directly by most PLC’s without a separate power supply, and can be battery driven for remote applications. They offer 20+ million cycles with zero maintenance! This higher reliability eliminates down time and offers the lowest cost of ownership or any gripper – pneumatic or electric. The built-in electronics are sealed within the gripper, and there’s no external control board needed. 4-pin/wire control cable sold separately. 24 VDC, 4-wire input: power, ground, open and closed signals. 100% duty cycle for high throughput.

Destaco’s DPDS Series includes compact, robust parallel grippers for use in confined spaces requiring a high grip force, as well as multiple part gripping that uses manifold features to create gripper arrays and long finger gripping applications. High impact resistant with double wedge design. Finger mounting on end or bottom of jaws. Thru-body mounting and multiple mounting features simplified installation. Multiple air ports support manifold interface using O-rings. Purge/scavenge ports for harsh & clean environments. Corrosion resistance hardware option.

Designed for CNC machining applications, chip/dry particulate harsh environments, and non-synchronous jaw or fixed jaw clamp operations. These units are rugged general purpose modular grippers with multi-position sensing up to four locations. Each gripper is shielded to repel metal chips and particulates. The spring assist option maintains grip in case of air pressure loss, along with synchronous or non-synchronous jaw operation. Each unit features multiple air ports to support manifold interface using O-rings and two finger mounting surfaces are present on each jaw.

These parallel grippers are designed for use in machine coolant and metal chip environment applications, high impact applications, and paintbooths or sandblasting applications. These rugged, general purpose modular grippers offer high impact resistance with double wedge design. Harsh environments with sealed rubber boot jaw option. Thru-body mounting and multiple mounting features simplifies installation. Multiple air ports support manifold interface using O-rings. Purge and scavenge ports for harsh & clean environments.

Designed for clean room and harsh environments (RPLC), delicate part handling with valve controls, projecting requiring long, precise gripper fingers, and high temperature applications using Viton® seals. Excellent part positioning and repeatability. Zero side play using low friction Dual-V roller bearings. Class 10 rated clean-room (RPLC) fits life sciences applications. Low friction for operation in low pressure applications, corrosion resistant design (RPLC). Optional non-synchronous jaw operation with 30°C to +150°C [-20°F to +300°F] operating environment using Viton® seals option. Purge port (RPLC) to prevent contaminants entering gripper. Scavenge port (RPLC) prevents gripper grease from contaminating working environment.

Ideal for semiconductor and life sciences laboratory applications, ultra-small gripper for space constrained applications, and sealed design operates in harsh environments (RPMC). Viton® seals option for high temperature applications -30°C to +150°C [-20°F to +300°F]. Miniature gripper for small part gripping. Zero side play due to Dual V bearing system. Low friction and smooth operation for precise part position repeatability. Create compact gripper arrays with top manifold design. Adjustable pre-load screws eliminates side play over life of unit. Purge and scavenge ports for clean/harsh environment operation. Units are lubricated with clean-room grease and hold a class 10 rating for clean-rooms (RPMC).
