Air-Powered Grippers
Combine these grippers with your gripping fingers to lift and move items in pick-and-place applications.
Angular grippers allow a more secure grip on irregularly shaped loads. Parallel grippers handle most shapes, including square, circular, and angled objects. Circular grippers are best for a snug grip on round objects.
Grippers with a forced-air jaw return have two air ports: one to move the jaws open and another to move them closed. The jaws grip items from the outside as well as the inside.
Grippers with steel jaws are harder and stronger than aluminum. IP67-rated grippers are dust tight and can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.
Note: Choose a gripper with a holding force at least 10 times your item's weight.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Add optional sensors to your gripper to signal when fingers are either open or closed (open and closed for sensors with two-position detection), and use that information to trigger other actions in your system. Since they’re magnetic, they detect the finger position using magnets placed on the piston.
Sensors with a plug connection work with the input/output on robot tool mounts with a power/signal block. Sensors with a hardwire connection have wire leads you either wire to a plug or hardwire to a power source.
NPN sensors communicate proximity with a negative signal, while PNP sensors send a positive signal.
Sensors with two-position detection send a signal when the fingers open and close, so you can trigger actions in your system based on both signals.

Finger blanks come ready to mount, so you can make custom fingers without starting from scratch. Just machine the blank’s gripping end to create fingers that will securely grip your specific parts.
When used in pairs, individual blanks have a symmetrical design that’s suitable for most applications.
Aluminum blanks are lightweight and resist rusting in wet environments. They’re softer than steel blanks, making them easier to machine and less likely to scratch your parts.
Steel blanks are stronger and more durable than aluminum blanks, so they’re less likely to break if they hit a nearby object. You can harden them for even more strength and durability.
 |  Adjustable Finger Mount |
 Scale |
Attach adjustable finger mounts to your Schunk grippers, so they can handle a wider range of part sizes and shapes. Each mount has a positioning slide that moves along a rail, which has a scale for making adjustments. Connect your fingers to the slides, position them on the rail, and tighten the knob to secure them in place. Use one mount for as many fingers as your gripper will 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. All have a servomotor that opens and closes the grippers with equal force to grasp and release items from the inside or outside. A discrete I/O signal actuates the grippers with a set gripping force—use a screwdriver to select the force you’ll need. Since these grippers open and close at the same force and stroke with every cycle, they’re good for picking items of a similar size and material.
To determine if gripper fingers are open or closed, and use that information to trigger other actions, add a sensor. All of these grippers are compatible with PNP and NPN signal outputs, which means they can communicate proximity with a positive or negative signal.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
IP30 grippers prevent objects greater than 2.5 mm, such as a screwdriver, from making contact with live circuits. Suitable for use in clean rooms, they are also rated to ISO Class 5. They have one M8 4-pin connection, which brings power to the gripper and two digital input signals to the grippers' controller. All are compatible with optional inductive sensors.

Optional sensors signal when gripper fingers are either open or closed, and use that information to trigger other actions in your system. Magnetic sensors detect finger position by responding to magnets placed on the motor of electric-powered grippers. Use them with IP40 and IP64 grippers. Those with programmable two-position detection send a signal when fingers open and close, letting you trigger actions in your system based on both signals. Inductive sensors respond to a metallic flag on the gripper. They are not, however, the best choice for machining applications since metallic debris can accidentally trigger them. Use these sensors with IP30 grippers.
Sensors with a plug connection work with the input/output on robot tool mounts with a power/signal block. Sensors with a hardwire connection have wire leads you either wire to a plug or to a power source.
PNP sensors communicate proximity with a positive signal, while NPN send a negative signal.

Robot-Ready Electric Grippers
Gripper Fingers and
Robot Arm (Not Included)
Including a robot tool mount and electrical connectors, these grippers come ready to attach to robot arms with standard ISO mounting hole patterns. Good for areas without compressed air, they use electricity to pick and place items in packaging, assembly, and machine-tending applications. All have a servomotor that opens and closes the grippers with equal force to grasp and release items from the inside or outside. Install the included software directly into your controller or teach pendant to program your gripper.
Select grippers that match your arm’s manufacturer series and model number or that are compatible with your electrical connection and signal output. Grippers with PNP signal output communicate proximity with a positive signal, while those with NPN signal output send a negative signal.
Grippers for FANUC CRX arms are FANUC approved, and grippers for Universal Robots (UR) arms are UR+ certified, so they've been tested to work seamlessly.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
Discrete I/O grippers have four set gripping forces to move items—use a screwdriver to select the force you’ll need. Since these grippers open and close at the same force and stroke with every cycle, they’re good for picking items of a similar size and material. A discrete I/O signal and included inductive proximity sensor send information about an item’s location to your robot arm. All of these grippers are suitable for use in clean rooms rated to ISO Class 5. They’re also rated IP30 to prevent objects greater than 2.5 mm, such as a screwdriver, from making contact with live circuits.
ISO/TS 15066 grippers help you meet international safety standards. They don’t have pinch points or sharp edges, so you can use them on robots that will be near people.
Grippers with an LED status ring have three programmable colors to show if the gripper picked or released an item, or failed.
