DH Robotics PGC-140-50 Electric Parallel Gripper, 140N, 50mm Stroke:

DH Robotics PGC-140-50 is a compact electric parallel gripper engineered for collaborative robot gripper installations in industries such as medical device handling, electronics assembly, and food packaging.

  • Gripping force: Adjustable from 40 to 140 N per jaw
  • Stroke: 50 mm
  • Payload: Up to 3 kg
  • Repeatability: ±0.03 mm

Performance and Control:

The PGC-140-50 uses a planetary reducer and rack-and-pinion system to achieve precision motion, completing each cycle in 0.75 seconds. Standard interfaces include Modbus RTU (RS485) and digital I/O. Optional connectivity covers TCP/IP, USB 2.0, CAN 2.0A, PROFINET, and EtherCAT for flexible integration with collaborative robots.

Environmental Suitability:

IP67-rated protection ensures the gripper resists dust and water in shop-floor environments. It operates reliably between 0 and 40°C at up to 85% relative humidity, generating less than 50 dB of noise during operation.

Mounting and Dimensions:

PGC-140-50 mounts easily on collaborative robot arms with space and weight constraints, weighing 1 kg and measuring 138.5 mm x 75 mm x 75 mm. The device operates on 24 V DC power.

Certifications and Awards:

CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications guarantee regulatory compliance. The gripper was recognized with Red Dot and IF industrial design awards in 2021.

Comparison with Competing Grippers:

Compared to some alternatives like Piab piCOBOT and Universal Robots grippers, the DH Robotics PGC-140-50 offers precise force control, broad protocol support, and award-winning design, making it suitable for demanding collaborative applications.

FAQs:

  • What protocols does the PGC-140-50 support? Standard connectivity includes Modbus RTU (RS485) and digital I/O, with options for TCP/IP, USB 2.0, CAN 2.0A, PROFINET, and EtherCAT.
  • In what industries is the PGC-140-50 used? Typical applications are found in medical devices, electronics assembly, and food packaging.
  • How does the repeatability compare with other grippers? The PGC-140-50 delivers ±0.03 mm repeatability, enabling precise positioning for high-accuracy robotic tasks.
  • What are the technical specifications for operating range? Operates in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C, with up to 85% relative humidity, and maintains noise levels under 50 dB.

The PGC-140-50 is an electric parallel gripper designed for collaborative robot applications in medical device handling, electronics assembly, and food packaging. It provides adjustable gripping force from 40 to 140 N per jaw with ±0.03 mm repeatability for precise positioning tasks.
The PGC-140-50 delivers adjustable gripping force from 40 to 140 N per jaw, allowing you to set the force precisely for different objects. It can hold a payload of up to 3 kg and completes each grip cycle in 0.75 seconds.
Standard connectivity includes Modbus RTU and digital I/O. Optional interfaces are TCP/IP, USB 2.0, CAN 2.0A, PROFINET, and EtherCAT for flexible integration with collaborative robots.
The PGC-140-50 carries IP67 protection, meaning it resists dust and water ingress for reliable shop-floor operation. It operates reliably between 0 and 40°C at up to 85% relative humidity and generates less than 50 dB of noise.
The gripper weighs 1 kg and measures 138.5 mm x 75 mm x 75 mm, making it compact for collaborative robot arms with space and weight constraints. It mounts easily and operates on 24 V DC power with plug-and-play setup.

Electric gripper vs pneumatic or vacuum alternatives:

The PGC-140-50 is an electric parallel gripper designed for collaborative robots where precise force control and clean operation matter more than maximum speed or simplicity. Unlike pneumatic grippers that require compressed air lines and offer less force feedback, or vacuum systems limited to smooth surfaces, this electric model delivers adjustable grip strength and digital monitoring in a compact 1 kg form factor.

  • For delicate electronics or medical parts needing consistent handling, the adjustable 40 to 140 N force per jaw and ±0.03 mm repeatability prevent damage and enable tight tolerances without manual tuning.
  • In food packaging or assembly lines where noise and compressed air infrastructure add cost, the sub-50 dB operation and self-contained 24 V DC design reduce facility overhead.
  • For cobots with limited wrist payload or space, the 1 kg weight and 50 mm stroke fit tight cells while Modbus RTU, EtherCAT, and PROFINET connectivity integrate easily into existing production control systems.
  • On high-mix changeover work, the 0.75 second cycle time and digital force presets cut reprogramming time versus manual gripper adjustment on each job.
