What is a gripper in a robot?

A gripper is an end effector that attaches to a robot arm to pick up and hold workpieces. The Schmalz SGM 30 is a pneumatic magnetic gripper that uses permanent magnets to grip ferromagnetic parts and pneumatic actuation to release them on demand.

What are grippers used for?

Grippers are used in automated pick-and-place, bin-picking, sheet-metal handling, and other industrial loading tasks. The SGM 30 gripper handles ferromagnetic workpieces in these applications while maintaining grip even during power loss.

Does the Schmalz SGM 30 release workpieces during power loss?

No, the SGM 30 maintains its grip during power loss because it uses a permanent-magnet design. Pneumatic actuation and integrated electronics are required to trigger controlled demagnetization and release the workpiece when needed.

What is the maximum gripping force of the SGM 30?

The Schmalz SGM 30 delivers a maximum gripping force of 35 N. This force is maintained by the permanent magnet and does not require continuous electrical power.

How does the SGM 30 mount to a robot?

The SGM 30 mounts via a G1/8 female thread and can be integrated with robot flanges or custom mounting plates. Its lightweight design at 0.13 kg makes it suitable for space-constrained applications.

What temperature can the SGM 30 operate in?

The Schmalz SGM 30 operates reliably up to 70 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for industrial environments in sheet-metal, bin-picking, and automated loading applications.

Pneumatic Magnetic Gripper for Industrial Automation:

Schmalz SGM 30 Pneumatic Magnetic Gripper is a permanent-magnet end effector designed for robotic pick-and-place and handling of ferromagnetic workpieces in sheet-metal, bin-picking, and automated loading applications.

Maximum gripping force: 35 N
Weight: 0.13 kg
Mounts via: G1/8 female thread
Operating temperature: up to 70°C

Release Process and Power Loss:

Pneumatic actuation triggers the release of the workpiece. The permanent-magnet design maintains holding force even during a power loss, making the SGM 30 suitable for safety-critical environments. Controlled demagnetization is supported by integrated electronics to ensure precise release when required.

Mounting and Compatibility:

The Schmalz SGM 30 magnetic gripper integrates easily with robot flanges or custom mounting plates. Standard pneumatic connections and the G1/8 female thread simplify installation on a wide range of automation systems.

Comparative Advantages:

Pneumatic magnetic gripper delivers consistent force without continuous power draw, outperforming electric grippers in energy efficiency for ferromagnetic materials.
Maintains grip during power interruptions, unlike most vacuum or electric grippers.
Suits space-constrained applications where larger grippers cannot fit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the SGM 30 release workpieces during power loss? No, the permanent magnet holds the parts; pneumatic actuation is required for controlled release.
How is demagnetization achieved? Integrated electronics enable precise demagnetization to release the workpiece when needed.
What mounting options are compatible? Robot flanges or custom plates with G1/8 female thread support easy integration.

Pneumatic magnetic gripper vs. vacuum or electric grippers for ferromagnetic parts:

Choose the SGM 30 when you need reliable handling of steel and iron workpieces without continuous power draw or the risk of losing grip during a power failure. It combines magnetic holding with pneumatic-triggered release for fast, safe pick-and-place in compact cells.

For ferromagnetic sheet-metal or stamped parts in high-throughput lines, pneumatic magnetic actuation delivers consistent 35 N force without energy waste between cycles.
In safety-critical or power-interrupted environments, the permanent-magnet design maintains workpiece hold even if air or power is lost, then releases on-demand via integrated electronics.
For space-constrained robot cells or bin-picking fixtures, the 0.13 kg lightweight and compact G1/8 thread mount fit where larger grippers cannot.
Operating reliably to 70°C in sheet-metal, bin-picking, and automated loading applications where vacuum or two-finger pneumatic grippers would be slower or unsuitable.
