Shave seconds off every pick-and-place cycle. Unlike parallel grippers that must retract before clearing a part, these grippers have jaws that swing up and out of the way to release parts instantly. This means they also work well in tight spaces. Connect them to your compressed air system and add gripper fingers (not included).

External force and internal force describe how hard the gripper can squeeze your part at the fingertips, also called the gripping distance. The less friction there is between the part and fingers, the more force you’ll need to lift a part. Typically, you’ll need a force that’s about 10 times the part’s weight, but an oily part might need a force about 20 times its weight. However, air pressure and finger length also affect the ideal force. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view a chart that shows how external or internal force changes as the gripping distance changes.
