DESTACO DPE Series Electric Parallel Grippers Electric, 2-Jaw Parallel Grippers Tested for 20+ Million Cycles – DPE Series Alternatives & Competitors

This gripper uses the mechanical advantage of a toggle mechanism that create a very high gripping force at the completion of stroke. At the full closed position the gripper locks in such a way that it cannot unlock unless air pressure is supplied to open the gripper. If air pressure is lost catastrophically, the gripper will not release the part that is being held.

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).

Designed for foundry applications, gantry systems, and large heavy part handling. These units are high rigidity and robust long stroke grippers. Grip force of 4559N with strokes from 150mm to 350mm. Rack and pinion for synchronized jaw operation. Optional integral rod lock that lock jaws in position upon air loss. Shaft wiper seals protects internal bearings from contaminants. Optional Viton® seals for high temp applications. Customized sensing and linear encoder solutions available.

Designed for automotive assembly, critical part drop prevention applications, general purpose spring assist gripping, and packaging applications. Robust sealed design gripper. Double wedge design for high impact applications. Spring assist option for part retention in case of air pressure loss. Inductive jaw location sensing. Grip force range from 222N [50 lbs] to 2669N [600 lbs] and stroke range from 6.4mm [0.25 in] to 31.8mm [1.25 in].

Designed for wide part gripping, gantry systems, and harsh gripping environments. These robust, wide body grippers can perform at grip force ranges from 222N thru 2091N and strokes ranging from 19mm thru 114mm. They feature a rack and pinion design for smooth operation, and the jaws well supported to grip large and wide parts. Double rod seals for extended life in harsh environments and optional non-synchronous jaw operation.

Designed for large round shaped parts, automotive engine block and gantry systems, and very heavy part gripping. These units are rugged, multi-purpose powerful grippers. They’re available in eight sizes for small lightweight to very large and heavy part gripping. High impact resistant with triple wedge design. Shielded gripper to repel metal chips/particulates and spring assist option maintains grip in case of air pressure loss. Purge and scavenge ports for harsh and clean environments. Multi-position sensing up to three locations.

This cam style gripper is widely used in the industry and is a rugged design that supplies very high grip force for its size. The simplified drive mechanism makes these grippers an excellent value. The body mounts with screws and locates with slip fit dowel pins for accuracy. Fingers attach to jaws with screws and locate by keying.

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.

This gripper series is designed for direct product contact in the food zone, according to the food industry standard. (EN 1672-2) All parts are corrosion resistant, non-toxic, non-contaminating, non-porous, non-absorbent and non-reactive. Its stainless steel design resists chemical cleaning procedures. The optional body conforms to FDA standards and is made of High Performance Polymer for a significantly lighter weight. Its electro-polished exterior with no recessed or inaccessible zones prevents retention of contaminants and simplifies cleaning. The sealed motion components (IP69K design) are made for high-pressure and high-temperature daily cleanings. Any metal/metal contact is protected by a gasket for leakproof assembly against bacteria. This angular gripper design offers easier radial sealing of jaws. The optional security springs help with external gripping, in case of air supply failure, in single acting or spring assist mode. There are no external fasteners to avoid any foreign matter in food. This gripper contains special lubricants suitable for food industry and a long maintenance-free service life.
