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 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.

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 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.

The simplified drive mechanism makes these grippers an excellent, cost effective value. It’s designed for use in confined spaces, combining large opening angle with a high torque. Optional safety springs retain the components, should the air supply fail or to increase grip force. This multipurpose gripper is built for a wide range of options and accessories (hydraulic or pneumatic operation, safety spring for internal or external clamping, Viton seals, and magneto resistive or inductive sensing) allow these grippers to be used in a number of applications. Its shielded design repels chips and other particulate from the internal drive mechanism. These angular grippers are designed for heavy-duty, extreme high temperature applications. The Vulcan Series Gripper can be ordered with optional metal seals and fireproof Kevlar boot or stainless steel heat shield for added protection.
