SCHUNK Pneumatic Parallel Gripper, 8mm Stroke, 270N

SCHUNK Pneumatic Parallel Gripper, model number included, is a two-finger pneumatic gripper engineered for high-precision handling of small workpieces in industrial automation and robotics.

Performance Specs:

• Stroke: 8 mm per jaw
• Gripping force: 270 N maximum
• Repeatability: 0.02 mm
• Weight: 0.37 kg

Rated for workpieces up to 1.05 kg and ambient operating temperatures to 90°C, the SCHUNK pneumatic gripper delivers consistent performance in demanding environments.

Design Features:

• Double-roller base-jaw guidance with a cross-roller system provides low-friction movement and extended service life.
• Oval piston drive maintains gripping force, even with longer finger configurations.
• Wedge-hook mechanism ensures synchronized jaw motion and structural rigidity.
• Food-grade lubrication is standard, with optional gripping-force maintenance for continuous-duty reliability.
• Compatible with direct air supply and threaded pneumatic connections.
• Supports electronic magnetic switches and optional flexible position sensing.
• Standardized mounting interfaces on two sides allow four screw directions for flexible integration.

Applications:

• Assembly operations
• Testing procedures
• Electronics handling
• Laboratory automation
• Pick-and-place tasks with small and medium components

Ideal choice for modular automation systems requiring consistent performance and installation flexibility.

Technical Details:

• Model number: SCHUNK Pneumatic Parallel Gripper, 8mm Stroke, 270N
• Payload up to 1.05 kg
• Operating temperature up to 90°C

Comparative Data:

• Compared to standard three-finger grippers, this parallel two-finger design is optimized for precision handling of small parts.
• Higher gripping force relative to typical small grippers with similar stroke.

User Questions Anticipated:

• Payload is calculated based on maximum gripping force and jaw stroke.
• Direct air supply or threaded connection enables efficient pneumatic use; air consumption depends on stroke and cycle rate.
• Jaw response time and noise level are determined by system air pressure and installation; typical values available from SCHUNK support.
• Regular maintenance involves lubrication and sensor checks; optional position sensing enhances monitoring.
