Schunk Pneumatic 2-Finger Universal Radial Grippers - GWB series
180° Angular gripper with gripping force safety device and powerful toggle drive system for areas of application which, in addition to a large gripping force, require the shortest possible motion sequences through the radial design of the jaw stroke.
The round piston is pressed up or down by compressed air. In the process, the two pins of the crank system move in unison and relative to the groove in the top jaws. In the gripping moment, these two pins reach the largest lever arm.
180° angular grippers (radial grippers) are advantageous in that they save an additional stroke movement. Since each jaw rotates away by 90°, they are mostly removed from the work area; a stroke movement to retract the entire gripper can be omitted.
Advantages and benefits
- Opening angle adjustable from 20° to 180° enabling a wide range of applications
- Equipped with mechanical gripping force safety device to keep the gripper fingers closed with the indicated spring force.
- Air supply via hose-free direct connection or via fittings for flexible pressure supply in all automated systems
- Kinematic Toggle system for extremely high gripping force at the moment of work-piece contact
