What is a parallel gripper?

A parallel gripper uses two fingers that move in opposite directions along the same axis to grip workpieces between them. The Effecto ECG2-18050 delivers 17.5 mm of parallel stroke per finger, allowing it to handle parts of varying sizes while maintaining precise, repeatable positioning.

What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper is an end effector that picks up, holds, and places workpieces in automated assembly and material handling tasks. The ECG2-18050 grips with 50 N of force to reliably hold up to 1 kg workpieces and achieves 0.03 mm repeatability for precision assembly and pick-and-place applications.

What gripping force does the ECG2-18050 provide?

The Effecto ECG2-18050 delivers 50 N of gripping force, which is sufficient to reliably hold workpieces up to 1 kg. Each of the two fingers generates this force through electromechanical actuation.

Can the ECG2-18050 work with collaborative robots?

Yes, the ECG2-18050 is designed for collaborative automation with rounded edges, compact form factor, and brake locking to operate safely in cobot cells. It weighs only 0.5 kg, minimizing the load on collaborative robot arms.

What feedback does the ECG2-18050 gripper provide?

The ECG2-18050 has an embedded controller that delivers real-time status, force, and position feedback for process monitoring. It supports integration via Modbus RTU and IO mode for flexible automation platform compatibility.

What temperature range does the ECG2-18050 operate in?

The Effecto ECG2-18050 operates reliably up to 40°C ambient temperature. The embedded controller with brake locking is designed to withstand harsh environments typical of manufacturing and logistics applications.

Electric gripper for light precision work versus pneumatic or heavy-duty alternatives:

The Effecto ECG2-18050 is a 50 N electric parallel gripper designed for collaborative and precision-driven automation. Choose it over pneumatic grippers or heavier electric alternatives when you need compact, lightweight performance with real-time feedback in shared work cells.

For parts under 1 kg on collaborative robot arms, the 0.5 kg gripper weight and 0.03 mm repeatability enable high-precision assembly and pick-and-place without exceeding payload limits.
In tight assembly cells or electronics manufacturing, the compact rounded form factor and 17.5 mm parallel stroke fit confined spaces while maintaining safe cobot operation.
For applications requiring process visibility, embedded force, position, and status feedback over Modbus RTU or IO mode supports real-time monitoring and quality assurance.
In environments without compressed air infrastructure, electric actuation and built-in brake locking eliminate pneumatic line costs and provide reliable holding in harsh conditions up to 40°C.
