Zimmer GEP2013IO-00-B Electric Gripper, 13mm Stroke, 360N

ZIMMER GROUP GmbH

$1,895.00

Zimmer GEP2013IO-00-B electric parallel gripper with 13 mm stroke, 360 N gripping force, 0.02 mm repeatability, and 0.55 kg weight. Brushless motor with self-locking mechanism and adjustable force for precise, compact automation and assembly tasks.

Overview:

Zimmer Group GEP2013IO-00-B Electric Parallel Gripper is a compact two-finger end effector designed for high-precision handling and assembly in automation environments, combining a 13 mm stroke per jaw and 360 N gripping force for industrial robotics integrators.

Specifications:

  • Stroke per jaw: 13 mm
  • Maximum gripping force: 360 N
  • Repeatability: 0.02 mm
  • Weight: 0.55 kg
  • Recommended maximum workpiece weight: 2.1 kg
  • IP rating: IP40
  • Ambient temperature max: 60 °C

The GEP2013IO-00-B is driven by a brushless DC motor paired with a helical worm gear and self-locking mechanism for secure part retention. Digital I/O control interface and magnetic-field sensors enable position feedback for rapid integration with controllers and robotics platforms. Installation flexibility is achieved through universal mounting interfaces, compatible with multiple machine configurations.

Features:

  • Adjustable gripping force for safe handling of delicate or varied components
  • Cross-roller guided jaws ensure low-friction, precise jaw movement
  • Removable centering sleeves for fast finger alignment and changeover
  • Cleanroom certification and IP40 ingress protection for sensitive environments
  • Self-locking design retains parts during power failure

Housing and jaw materials are engineered for industrial durability, supporting resistance to typical shop-floor wear. The product is CE-marked for safety compliance, with pinch-force and cleanroom certifications.

Applications:

  • Flexible part handling in automated production lines
  • Small component assembly and pick-and-place operations
  • Machine tending where electric actuation and compact form factor are required

Zimmer Group’s GEP2013IO-00-B is a compact alternative to larger pneumatic or hydraulic grippers, offering precision on par with benchmark electric models in the same class. Suitable for use with standard end effector mounting brackets and robotics tooling interfaces.

Installation and Maintenance:

  • Standard mounting interfaces enable quick setup alongside ISO or VESA machine tooling
  • Removable sleeves simplify finger alignment, reducing installation time
  • Service intervals and replacement parts available from Zimmer Group for extended lifecycle

Routine maintenance is limited to jaw lubrication and sensor checks. A range of available accessories includes custom fingers, extensions, mounting brackets, and compatible control modules for tailored integration.

The GEP2013IO-00-B delivers 360 N maximum gripping force in a 0.54 kg compact body. This force is adjustable to safely handle delicate or varied components.
A parallel gripper is a two-finger end effector that moves both jaws toward each other in parallel motion to grip parts. The GEP2013IO-00-B uses cross-roller guided jaws for low-friction, precise parallel movement with 0.02 mm repeatability.
The GEP2013IO-00-B has a 13 mm stroke per jaw, allowing it to grip varied part sizes from very small to larger components. This compact stroke makes it suitable for tight installation spaces.
Yes, the GEP2013IO-00-B includes a self-locking mechanism that retains parts safely during power failure. The brushless DC motor paired with a helical worm gear enables this secure holding.
The GEP2013IO-00-B has IP40 ingress protection and cleanroom certification, making it suitable for sensitive environments. Its digital I/O control and magnetic sensors also enable rapid integration with automation controllers.
The recommended maximum workpiece weight is 2.1 kg for the GEP2013IO-00-B. The gripper itself weighs only 0.55 kg, allowing it to fit in tight spaces without adding significant mass to the robot.

Electric vs Pneumatic Grippers:

The Zimmer GEP2013IO-00-B is a compact electric parallel gripper, typically chosen over pneumatic alternatives when precision, compact footprint, and safe power-loss retention matter more than raw speed or simplicity. It delivers 360 N grip force in a 0.55 kg body with 0.02 mm repeatability and self-locking hold.

  • For delicate or varied parts on shared cells, adjustable gripping force and 0.02 mm repeatability prevent damage and ensure consistent positioning without pneumatic regulator tuning.
  • In tight assembly spaces or machine-tending cells, the compact 0.55 kg body and universal mounting leave more room for sensors, cameras, or secondary tools than larger pneumatic alternatives.
  • Where power interruptions risk part drop, the self-locking mechanism holds parts safely during outages, unlike pneumatic grippers that require continuous air supply.
  • For cleanroom or sensitive environments, IP40 rating and electric actuation eliminate oil mist and compressed-air contamination typical of pneumatic systems.
  • When controller integration and rapid changeover are critical, digital I/O feedback and removable centering sleeves cut setup time versus manual or slower pneumatic configurations.
