Pick-and-Place Grippers | McMaster-Carr

Powered by compressed air, these grippers pick and place parts for machine-tending, packaging, and assembly tasks. They come with everything you need to connect to your robot, and built-in air control valves eliminate the need for complicated external systems.

Air-Powered Magnetic Grippers

Connect these magnetic grippers to an air system to lift odd-shaped and perforated metal parts that often cause traditional vacuum cups to lose hold.

Electric-Powered Grippers

Unlike air-powered grippers, which leak air, these electric grippers won’t release dirt or particulates, making them good for pick-and-place assembly, packaging, and finishing jobs in labs, electronics plants, and other clean environments. Often used with mobile robots, all have a servomotor that opens and closes the grippers with equal force.

Robot-Ready Collaborative Electric Grippers

Work safely alongside collaborative robots as they perform machine tending, packaging, and assembly tasks. These grippers help you meet ISO/TS 15066 standards thanks to their built-in safety features—they limit gripping force to safe levels and have a plastic housing that protects you from pinch points and sharp edges in case of a collision.

Robot-Ready Electric Soft Grippers

Mimicking a human hand, these grippers have soft, flexible silicone fingers that curl around items to pick them up.

Robot-Ready Electric Grippers

For a firm—but not too firm—grip on parts, these grippers give you precise control over the force and width at which they open and close. Whether you’re packaging, assembling, or tending machines, these grippers come with everything needed to get your robot started.

Ready-to-Use Gripper Fingers

Simply connect these fingers to your gripper and start moving items.

Flexible Gripper Fingers

Grab differently sized and shaped objects without changing out gripper fingers in between.

Delta Robots

Bring robotics to your line without bringing in a full engineering team. These delta robots are ideal for introducing automation to simple, repetitive tasks such as sorting, packaging, and assembling.
