Pneumatic parallel gripper vs manual or larger servo grippers:

Choose this SCHUNK gripper when you need fast, reliable clamping of small delicate parts without the cost and complexity of electric servo systems. Pneumatic operation delivers repeatable grip cycles at high speed, while the compact 45 N force and 2 mm stroke per jaw suit electronics, laboratory, and cleanroom work where oversized grippers cannot fit.

For parts under 0.17 kg in confined robot cells, the 0.042 kg weight and four-direction mounting free space for other tooling and reduce arm load.
For semiconductor, electronics, or food-grade assembly, food-grade lubrication and 0.02 mm repeatability ensure consistent placement without contamination or damage to delicate components.
For high-cycle pick-and-place lines, pneumatic actuation and optional force maintenance deliver faster cycle times and lower maintenance than manual or servo alternatives.
For temperature-sensitive or sterile environments up to 90°C, corrosion-resistant steel and cleanroom compatibility outperform standard pneumatic grippers.
