| Series GRB Grippers.... Saving time and motion! |
|
PHD's Series GRB Gripper with its 180 degree total jaw rotation might be one of the most cost-saving devices in your next machine design. Consider the possibility of eliminating an entire axis of motion by implementing this unique product's capability.
Offered in six bore sizes, these grippers can develop total grip forces ranging from 5 lbs. up to 500 lbs. or more. Their rugged one-piece bodies and large hardened steel jaw drivers provide a high degree of precision with a minimum of jaw play. Along with long life piston and rod seals, the Series GRB features internal shock pads that help reduce end of rotation shock on open and ensure quiet operation.
Possibly the most beneficial characteristic of this series is the GRB's ability to provide up to 180 degrees of total jaw rotation allowing the jaws to rotate completely clear of the work area and potentially eliminating an otherwise required axis of travel. Take a look a the following link on the PHD Learn Site for an application animation demonstrating this highly versatile attribute.

"There's just so many styles and sizes of grippers available today. When it comes to selecting, where do we start?"
We've heard our customers say this before, and we know how daunting the selection task can be, so we responded... we created PHD's Gripper Selection / Comparison Guide.
This concise guide helps make your selection easier by providing a visual comparison of most all of PHD's Gripper Products available. It categorizes them by attributes such as parallel vs. angular jaw travel or synchronous vs. non-synchronous jaw travel. It also helps with option selections such as spring assisted jaws and total jaw travel. When it comes to sizing, the guide helps with handy suggested part weight ranges, total grip force ranges and maximum tooling length recommendations.
If selecting the proper gripper for your automation projects has been a challenge in the past, give PHD's Gripper Selection / Sizing Guide an opportunity to assist you and simplify your task. |
