What is an electric gripper?

An electric gripper is a robotic end effector that uses electric actuation to move two jaws in parallel for gripping objects, enabling precise and repeatable handling in automation tasks. The SCHUNK EGP Series uses a brushless DC servomotor to deliver consistent gripping force.

What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper is designed to pick up, hold, and precisely position small workpieces during assembly, testing, and pick-and-place operations in automated systems. The SCHUNK EGP Series handles workpieces up to 1.05 kg with 0.02 mm repeatability.

What is a parallel gripper?

A parallel gripper moves two jaws toward each other in parallel motion to grip objects with consistent force across the entire stroke. The SCHUNK EGP Series delivers 215 N of gripping force with an 8 mm stroke per jaw.

How much can the SCHUNK EGP Series Electric Gripper lift?

The SCHUNK EGP Series reliably handles workpieces up to 1.05 kg and delivers a maximum gripping force of 215 N. Its brushless DC servomotor ensures consistent grip strength across all finger lengths.

Can I use the SCHUNK EGP Series in food or pharmaceutical environments?

Yes, the SCHUNK EGP Series uses food-grade lubrication, making it suitable for laboratory, medical, and pharmaceutical settings where traditional lubricants cannot be used. Its compact 0.51 kg design also fits confined spaces in sensitive environments.

What is the stroke on the SCHUNK EGP Series gripper?

The SCHUNK EGP Series has an 8 mm stroke per jaw, which allows handling of parts larger than typical 6 mm stroke grippers while maintaining the compact footprint needed for precision automation.

Electric vs. Pneumatic Grippers for Precision Small-Parts Handling:

The SCHUNK EGP Series is a compact electric gripper designed for precise, repeatable automation of small components. Choose this electric model over pneumatic alternatives when you need consistent force control, compact form factor, and food-safe operation in confined spaces or regulated environments.

For workpieces under 1 kg in tight robotic cells, the 0.51 kg weight and compact design fit where standard pneumatic grippers cannot reach.
When repeatability and grip consistency matter, the brushless DC servomotor holds 215 N force uniformly across all finger lengths, critical for precision pick-and-place and assembly tasks.
In laboratory, medical, or pharmaceutical settings, food-grade lubrication eliminates cross-contamination risks that standard lubricants create.
For parts requiring more than 6 mm jaw opening, the 8 mm stroke accommodates larger components without sacrificing precision to 0.02 mm.
If you need over 215 N of force or longer strokes for heavier loads, consider pneumatic alternatives like the SCHUNK PZN Plus, which delivers 580 N.
