6. Function principle
The oval piston is moved up or down by compressed air. The angled active surfaces of the wedge-hook produce a synchronized, parallel jaw motion.
T-Slot guidance
Base Jaw for the connection of workpiece- specific gripper fingers
Sensor system
Housing: weight-optimized due to the use of high-strength aluminum alloy
Centering and mounting possibilities for universal assembly of the gripper
Wedge-hook design for high force transmission and centric gripping

7. Product Highlights Loadable, robust base jaw T-slot guidance
for the precise handling of different workpieces
for extremely long gripper fingers

8. Proximity sensor – SC4 Series
Extremely small housing (12.2 mm) with LED for indicating the output state
Output type: PNP or NPN
Protecting class: IP67
Easy Drop-in mounting and a cable connection rotated by 90° for reliable installation
The rugged mounting holds the sensor in the required position, even when exposed to shock and vibration, and increases the reliability

9. Product advantages
Sturdy T-slot guidance for the precise handling of different workpieces
Compact dimensions and low weight for minimal interfering contours in handling
High maximum moments possible suitable for using long gripper fingers
Wedge-hook design for high power transmission and synchronized gripping
SC4 Sensor Series for monitoring the end-position
Mounting from two gripper sides for universal and flexible gripper assembly
Air supply via hose-free direct connection or screw connections for flexible pressure supply in all automated systems
