What is a gripper in a robot?

A gripper is an end effector that attaches to a robot arm to grasp and hold workpieces. The SCHUNK Pneumatic Gripper uses two synchronized fingers with 170 N gripping force to pick up components and transfer them in automation processes.

What are grippers used for?

Grippers handle material in pick-and-place operations, assembly automation, light industrial material handling, and laboratory automation. This SCHUNK model is designed for efficient handling of medium-sized components up to 0.85 kg.

Can the SCHUNK 2-finger 10 mm stroke gripper work on my robot?

The compact 0.34 kg mass fits tight payload constraints on most robots and positioning systems. Standard C-slots enable quick integration with magnetic sensors for position monitoring on compatible robotic platforms.

How much gripping force does this pneumatic gripper deliver?

The SCHUNK Pneumatic Gripper delivers 170 N gripping force with a 10 mm stroke per jaw, allowing it to handle workpieces up to 0.85 kg in cost-efficient automation applications.

Is pneumatic actuation simpler than electric grippers?

Pneumatic actuation reduces system complexity where compressed air already exists in your facility, making this SCHUNK gripper a cost-effective alternative to electric grippers for many applications.

Pneumatic vs electric grippers for medium-component handling:

Choose this pneumatic gripper when you have compressed air infrastructure and need cost-effective gripping for parts under 0.85 kg. Pneumatic actuation reduces system complexity compared to electric grippers, and the 0.34 kg mass preserves robot payload for tools or sensors.

For tight payload budgets on collaborative or smaller robots, the lightweight 0.34 kg frame frees capacity versus heavier electric alternatives.
On production lines with existing compressed air, pneumatic operation cuts wiring, control logic, and tooling costs versus standalone electric actuation.
For medium parts requiring gentle, synchronized grip, the double-piston mechanism ensures stable jaw movement without slip across batch cycles.
When position monitoring is needed, built-in C-slots enable quick magnetic sensor mounting without custom fabrication.
On high-throughput pick-and-place or assembly cells running light components, the 10 mm stroke and 170 N force handle workpieces efficiently without over-specification.
