What gripping force does the SCHUNK EGP provide?

The SCHUNK EGP delivers a maximum gripping force of 40 N, making it suitable for small component handling in precision applications. This force level is paired with a brushless DC servomotor that maintains steady pressure across all compatible finger lengths.

Is the SCHUNK EGP electric parallel gripper food-grade and clean-room safe?

Yes, the SCHUNK EGP uses food-grade lubrication, which enables operation in lab automation, medical, and pharmaceutical environments where hygiene and cleanliness are required. It is suitable for sensitive applications including clean-room use.

What repeatability and stroke does this gripper offer?

The SCHUNK EGP achieves 0.2 mm repeatability for reliable small-part positioning, with a 3 mm stroke per jaw designed to grip compact items without excess travel. This combination makes it ideal for precision assembly and testing automation.

What temperature range and maximum workpiece weight can the SCHUNK EGP handle?

The gripper operates reliably up to 55°C and is rated to handle workpieces weighing up to 0.2 kg. The roller-guided jaw design ensures consistent performance across this operating envelope.

How does the SCHUNK EGP compare to pneumatic grippers?

The SCHUNK EGP electric design offers easier maintenance thanks to its brushless motor, reduced energy consumption compared to compressed air systems, and more predictable return on investment. Electric operation also enables finer force control and better repeatability for precision tasks.

Electric Parallel Gripper vs. Pneumatic Grippers:

The SCHUNK EGP is an electric parallel gripper designed for precision handling of small components, whereas pneumatic grippers rely on compressed air and offer less repeatable force control. Choose the EGP when precision, cleanliness, and predictable performance matter more than raw speed.

For parts under 0.2 kg in confined spaces, the 3 mm stroke per jaw and roller-guided design prevent over-travel and damage to delicate electronics or medical components.
In lab automation and pharmaceutical environments, food-grade lubrication eliminates contamination risk, whereas pneumatic systems require regular air filtration and can introduce particulates.
At 0.2 mm repeatability, the EGP holds tight tolerances on small assemblies and testing fixtures, outperforming pneumatic grippers in consistency across high-speed production runs.
Brushless DC servomotor reduces maintenance frequency and energy consumption compared to pneumatic compressors running continuously in the background.
Reliable operation to 55°C suits clean-room and thermal-chamber automation without performance drift.
