What is a parallel gripper?

A parallel gripper uses two opposing jaws that move symmetrically to grip workpieces between them. The SCHUNK EGP Series is an electric parallel gripper with 10 mm stroke per jaw, delivering 300 N gripping force for small-part handling in precision automation.

What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper picks up, holds, and releases workpieces during automated manufacturing and assembly tasks. The SCHUNK EGP Series handles small components with 0.2 mm repeatability accuracy, supporting pick-and-place, machine tending, electronics handling, and testing applications.

What is the difference between electric and pneumatic grippers?

Electric grippers like the SCHUNK EGP Series offer quiet operation, efficient energy use, and simplified wiring without compressed air lines. Pneumatic grippers require air compressor infrastructure but may be preferred in some high-speed or heavy-load applications outside this gripper's scope.

What is the payload capacity of the SCHUNK EGP?

The SCHUNK EGP Series handles recommended payloads up to 1.25 kg with its 300 N gripping force and 10 mm stroke per jaw. The gripper weighs only 0.8 kg, making it lightweight for mounting on compact robotic arms.

Can the SCHUNK EGP work in cleanroom environments?

Yes, the SCHUNK EGP Series uses food-grade lubrication, enabling safe operation in cleanroom, pharmaceutical, and contamination-sensitive environments. This food-grade lubrication distinguishes it from conventional electric grippers and supports medical and laboratory automation applications.

What repeatability does the EGP gripper achieve?

The SCHUNK EGP Series delivers 0.2 mm repeatability, gripping delicate components with micron-level accuracy. This precision positioning is essential for electronics assembly, medical device handling, and other applications requiring consistent small-part placement.

Parallel Gripper for Small-Part Precision:

The SCHUNK EGP Series Parallel Gripper, model EGP, is an electric parallel gripper engineered for precise handling of small workpieces in laboratory automation, medical, pharmaceutical, and electronics assembly environments.

Key Features:

Maximum gripping force: 300 N
Stroke per jaw: 10 mm
Repeatability: 0.2 mm
Recommended payload: up to 1.25 kg
Weight: 0.8 kg
Ambient temperature: up to 55°C

Performance and Differentiation:

A brushless DC servomotor delivers consistent force output, extending service life compared to brushed motors typically found in competing grippers. Food-grade lubrication enables installation in cleanroom and contamination-sensitive applications, distinguishing the SCHUNK EGP Series from conventional electric grippers. Compact form factor allows mounting in locations with limited space.

Electric gripper for small parts versus pneumatic grippers:

The SCHUNK EGP Series is a compact electric parallel gripper built for delicate, high-precision small-part handling where pneumatic alternatives would sacrifice accuracy or require compressed air infrastructure. It delivers 300 N gripping force with 0.2 mm repeatability and holds payloads up to 1.25 kg.

For parts under 1.25 kg needing micron-level accuracy, the 0.2 mm repeatability grips electronics, medical components, and laboratory samples where pneumatic drift or hysteresis causes rejects.
In cleanroom, pharmaceutical, and food-processing lines, food-grade lubrication eliminates contamination risk that standard electric grippers cannot match.
On robotic arms with tight mounting space, the 0.8 kg weight and compact form fit where heavier or longer pneumatic cylinders would block other tooling or collision zones.
For high-speed pick-and-place and testing systems, quiet electric operation and simplified plug-and-wire setup reduce downtime compared to pneumatic hose routing and valve tuning.
Brushless DC servomotor extends service life and consistent force delivery, critical for repeatability in automated assembly and machine-tending tasks.
