Zimmer Group GEP2006 Parallel Gripper, 145 N, 6 mm stroke

ZIMMER GROUP GmbH

$2,195.00

Zimmer Group GEP2006 compact electric parallel gripper delivers 145 N gripping force with 6 mm stroke per jaw and 0.02 mm repeatability. Weighs 0.19 kg, rated IP40, operates to 60°C, and handles workpieces up to 1 kg. Ideal for pick-and-place, electronics assembly, and machine tool loading in space-constrained robotic applications.

The Zimmer Group GEP2006 is a compact electric parallel jaw gripper engineered for robotics and automation in restricted spaces, frequently used in electronics assembly, pick-and-place, and machine tool tending where precise handling is critical.

  • Gripping force: 145 N
  • Stroke per jaw: 6 mm
  • Payload capacity: up to 1 kg
  • Unit weight: 0.19 kg

Key Features:

  • Highly durable, maintenance-free design supports over 10 million cycles for minimal downtime in industrial environments.
  • Repeatability of 0.02 mm ensures consistent results in sensitive applications.
  • Integrated position sensing, I/O control, and removable centering sleeves support rapid changeovers and simplify system integration.
  • The GEP2006 is smaller and lighter than many alternative parallel grippers, making it well suited for collaborative and lightweight robotics, including as an accessory for ReBeL cobots and similar platforms.

When to Choose the GEP2006 Parallel Gripper:

  • Best for electronics assembly: The combination of precise 6 mm stroke, reliable 145 N force, and fast cycle capability make it a top pick for handling small, delicate parts in electronics and compact automation cells.
  • Payload guidance: Capable of securely handling workpieces up to 1 kg, with performance and safety upheld only within specified limits.
  • Competitive advantage: Delivers faster repeat cycles and lower mass than many electric grippers in the same class, offering an edge for high-volume or space-limited installations.

Compliance and Compatible Products:

  • Manufactured by Zimmer Group as part of the GEP2000 electric gripper series family.
  • For users seeking alternative electric grippers, parallel jaw grippers, or accessories for ReBeL cobots, see related Zimmer Group products for comparison.

Common Buyer Questions:

  • What is the best gripper for electronics assembly? Zimmer Group GEP2006 is recommended for electronics tasks requiring precise, reliable, and maintenance-free parallel gripping performance in tight spaces.
  • How much weight can GEP2006 hold? The gripper is designed to handle up to 1 kg workpiece weight.
  • Where does GEP2006 outperform other grippers? The GEP2006 provides higher cycle life and faster repetition in a smaller footprint compared to alternative electric parallel grippers.

A parallel gripper has two opposing jaws that move toward and away from each other in a straight line to grip objects between them. The Zimmer Group GEP2006 is a compact electric parallel gripper with 145 N gripping force and 6 mm stroke per jaw, designed for precise handling in tight spaces.
Yes, a gripper is an actuator that moves to grasp, hold, or release objects. The GEP2006 uses electric actuation with integrated position sensing and I/O control for automated pick-and-place and assembly tasks.
A gripper's main purpose is to grasp and hold objects during automation tasks like picking, placing, and transferring parts. The GEP2006 is optimized for electronics assembly and machine loading in confined spaces, delivering 0.02 mm repeatability for precise part handling up to 1 kg.
Yes, the GEP2006 is specifically engineered as a compact electric gripper for restricted installations and collaborative robotic systems. It weighs only 0.19 kg and fits where larger grippers cannot.
The GEP2006 is rated for over 10 million cycles with maintenance-free operation, ensuring extended service life and minimal downtime in industrial environments.
IP40 housing on the GEP2006 protects against dust and direct water spray, making it suitable for industrial environments where the gripper may encounter light contamination and moisture.

Electric gripper vs pneumatic gripper for tight spaces:

The GEP2006 is a compact electric parallel gripper for light-duty applications, typically compared to pneumatic grippers that require compressor infrastructure. Choose the GEP2006 when you need maintenance-free operation, precise repeatability, and the ability to fit into space-constrained collaborative or lightweight robotic cells.

  • For electronics assembly with delicate parts under 1 kg, the 0.02 mm repeatability and 145 N force deliver consistent handling without pneumatic tubing or valve complexity.
  • In restricted robotic cells, the 0.19 kg weight and compact profile free payload for additional tooling, where a heavier pneumatic gripper would consume robot capacity.
  • High-cycle pick-and-place lines benefit from the over 10 million cycle rating and integrated position sensing, which eliminate changeover delays and air leak maintenance typical of pneumatic systems.
  • For rapid tool swaps, removable centering sleeves and I/O control simplify integration on cobots and collaborative platforms where downtime costs are high.
