This angular gripper has a high gripping force. It is double-acting and can be used as inside or outside gripper. It is used to grip and hold load capacities. The holding force should be 10 to 20 times the part weight. The gripper jaws which are forced-controlled by a piston rod are moved simultaneously and centred, so that the gripping moment is kept constant over the whole opening and closing angle. The two air connections (M5) are located on the face opposite the grippers. Detection by way of proximity switches is also possible.
