Angular motion grippers represent the lowest cost design. The air cylinder is an integral component of the overall gripper length. The piston actuator pushes the cam, or yoke, forward, rocking/pivoting the jaws open.
The pull stroke closes the jaws. A four way valve circuit is required for control. Both two and three jaw designs are offered. Available in round and square body styles.

The Compact® magnetic gripper is great for picking up ferromagnetic materials such as iron or steel in applications where other types of grippers and vacuum cups are currently being utilized. Our four new models with grip forces from 20 to 130 lbs. are now available. The new magnetic grippers from Compact® provide safe operation since the gripper will continue to hold the workpiece even with the loss of pneumatic pressure.
Ideal for pick-and-place type systems or applications such as robotic end-of-arm tooling, conveyors, feeders, separators or where any precise positioning of goods or materials is required in the automation process.

Parallel motion grippers represent a highly versatile and flexible design. The integral pneumatic cylinder pushes the jaws open. The jaws slide along two hardened guide rods providing rigid, long lasting true parallel motion.
The pull stroke closes the jaws. A four-way valve circuit is required for control. All units are of two jaw design.
