What is a parallel gripper?

A parallel gripper uses two fingers that move toward each other in a straight line to clamp and hold objects. The SCHUNK EGS Electric Gripper is a 2-finger parallel gripper with 30 N gripping force and a 3 mm stroke per jaw, designed for precise pick-and-place tasks in assembly and electronics handling.

What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper's main purpose is to grasp, hold, and manipulate objects in automated systems and robotic applications. The SCHUNK EGS is optimized for high-precision assembly, small parts handling, and pick-and-place operations, achieving 0.02 mm positioning repeatability.

How does the SCHUNK EGS differ from a pneumatic gripper?

The SCHUNK EGS is electric-powered and eliminates the need for external pneumatic infrastructure, reducing setup complexity and cost. Unlike pneumatic models, it delivers consistent force without fluctuation from variable air pressure and fits into compact robotic work cells.

What is the maximum weight the SCHUNK EGS Electric Gripper can handle?

The SCHUNK EGS is suitable for workpieces up to 0.15 kg with its 30 N parallel grip force. It weighs 0.45 kg itself and achieves 0.02 mm positioning repeatability for precision assembly tasks.

Does the SCHUNK EGS require pneumatics or external air supply?

No, the SCHUNK EGS is fully electric and requires no external pneumatics. It combines a 2-finger parallel gripper with an integrated electric swivel unit in a single module, simplifying setup and reducing infrastructure complexity.

What temperature range does the SCHUNK EGS operate in?

The SCHUNK EGS operates reliably up to 55°C across varied production environments. Its electric design and minimal wear components support high cycle rates and extended service life even in demanding conditions.

Electric gripper with integrated swivel versus pneumatic grippers:

The SCHUNK EGS combines grip and rotation in one compact 0.45 kg module, eliminating the need for external pneumatic lines, compressors, and separate swivel actuators. Choose this electric design when setup speed, space, and consistent force matter more than very high grip loads.

For small parts under 150 g in tight robotic cells, the integrated swivel and compact profile fit where separate pneumatic units cannot, and no air infrastructure setup is needed.
On high-cycle assembly lines, minimal wear components and 0.02 mm repeatability deliver precision and uptime; pneumatic alternatives often drift under pressure fluctuations.
In labs and electronics handling, digital I/O control enables fast commissioning without tuning air regulators, and reliable operation to 55°C suits varied production floors.
For rotary pick-and-place tasks requiring both grip and orientation in one move, the integrated swivel frees robot payload compared to adding a separate pneumatic rotator.
