What is a gripper in a robot?

A gripper is an end effector that attaches to a robot arm to pick up, hold, and release workpieces. The SCHUNK Pneumatic Gripper 2-Finger 15mm Stroke uses two parallel fingers driven by pneumatic pressure to reliably grip parts up to 1.85 kg with 370 N force.

What are grippers used for?

Grippers automate pick-and-place, assembly, material feeding, and testing tasks across manufacturing lines. This pneumatic gripper is designed for automated assembly, material handling, and testing applications where consistent gripping performance is needed for medium cycle rates.

Can the SCHUNK Pneumatic Gripper 2-Finger 15mm Stroke integrate sensors?

Yes, the gripper features standardized C-slots that accommodate magnetic sensors for jaw-position monitoring and feedback. This allows you to track gripper state during automated workflows.

Is the SCHUNK Pneumatic Gripper 2-Finger 15mm Stroke compact enough for tight spaces?

Yes, at just 0.94 kg and a compact design, this gripper fits tight spaces and supports multi-gripper setups where size is constrained. Its low weight makes it suitable for robot arms with limited payload capacity.

How much gripping force does the SCHUNK Pneumatic Gripper 2-Finger 15mm Stroke deliver?

The gripper delivers 370 N of gripping force and handles workpieces up to 1.85 kg. With a 15 mm stroke per jaw, it provides consistent parallel finger motion for reliable part handling.

Pneumatic versus electric gripper: when to choose this model:

The SCHUNK 2-finger pneumatic gripper suits assembly and pick-and-place work where cost per cycle and simplicity matter more than precision. It contrasts with electric grippers, which offer finer control but higher upfront and energy costs, and with longer-stroke models used for larger workpieces.

For parts under 1.85 kg in tight machine cells, the 0.94 kg compact frame and 15 mm stroke fit multi-gripper setups where heavier or longer-reach grippers would not.
On moderate-cycle assembly lines, pneumatic actuation cuts operating costs compared to servo-driven electric grippers handling similar payloads.
When jaw position feedback is needed, C-slots integrate magnetic sensors without bulky external mounting, freeing space for other tooling.
For consistent 370 N gripping force across thousands of cycles on standard parts, the parallel 2-finger design delivers repeatable pick-and-place without tuning complexity.
