What are grippers used for

Grippers are end effectors that hold and manipulate workpieces in automation tasks. This SCHUNK 2-finger pneumatic gripper is ideal for pick-and-place operations in electronics assembly, testing, lab automation, and handling small parts in compact automation cells.

What is a gripper in a robot

A gripper is a tool attached to a robot arm that grasps and releases objects. This pneumatic gripper uses parallel jaw movement with 51 N gripping force to precisely handle small components up to 0.19 kg with 0.02 mm repeatability.

Can the SCHUNK pneumatic gripper handle electronics assembly

Yes, this gripper is optimized for electronics assembly and precision pick-and-place tasks. It achieves 0.02 mm positioning repeatability, operates cleanly for laboratory environments, and grips workpieces up to 0.19 kg with its 51 N force and 3 mm stroke per jaw.

How do you mount a pneumatic gripper to a robot

The SCHUNK gripper mounts from two sides with fasteners accepted in four screw directions, providing flexible modular integration into robotic systems and compact automation cells.

What temperature can this gripper operate at

The SCHUNK pneumatic gripper operates up to 90°C. It uses food-grade lubrication and maintains clean operation suitable for laboratory and food environments.

Does this gripper maintain force if pneumatic pressure is lost

The gripper offers optional gripping-force maintenance that provides reliability during power or pressure loss, protecting held workpieces.

Pneumatic gripper vs. longer-stroke or higher-force alternatives:

Choose this gripper when you need a compact, precision tool for small components in space-constrained cells. It trades larger stroke and higher gripping force for repeatability and a minimal footprint.

For parts under 0.19 kg in electronics assembly or pick-and-place tasks, the 51 N force and 0.02 mm repeatability ensure consistent positioning without oversizing the end effector.
In tight automation cells where headroom is limited, the small form factor and dual-side mountable interface free up space for additional tooling or a lower gripper profile.
For delicate components or precision applications requiring 0.02 mm repeat accuracy, this gripper outperforms longer-stroke models where travel distance introduces variability.
In laboratory and food environments, food-grade lubrication and clean operation keep contamination risk low without compromise to reliability.
When pneumatic supply is subject to pressure loss, optional gripping-force maintenance safeguards small parts against accidental release during changeover or maintenance.
