January 2011

Greetings!


To start out the new year, PHD takes a closer look at our Series GRC Gripper. A high force, long travel gripper with an optional locking feature too!
 
Also this month, we present several actuators for the Packaging and Conveying Industries. PHD has solutions for some of those troublesome OEM devices.

Rounding out January, we zoom in on a couple of animations featuring our Series STP Slides. High load capacity and unparalleled precision make this unit the "designer's choice."'

 

Let us help you make 2011 a great year!

Series GRC Grippers....        PHD's Lock on Capability!

If your gripping application calls for locking capability, take a look at PHD's Series GRC Grippers. Many industries or localities have safety regulations that require automated gripping devices to retain objects in the event of air pressure loss. The Series GRC Gripper with our patented SHURGRIP option incorporates a locking roller cam system to ensure part retention. A manual operator on the bottom of the unit allows for opening and closing the gripper's jaws during setup.
 PHD Series GRC Grippers 

Available in four sizes, the Series GRC also features two jaw and body styles for maximum application versatility. The internal jaw mechanism is constructed of hardened steel components and is fully enclosed providing a minimum of ten million trouble-free cycles.

 

The hardcoated aluminum body with precision dowel holes ensures accurate gripper mounting. The Series GRC offers a high grip force to weight ratio, which can be even further increased with the popular optional spring assist. Other options include fluoro-elastomer seals for fluid compatibility and magnetic pistons for solid state and reed switch operation. 

 

If you need a robust gripper with long jaw travel and locking capability visit PHD's Web Site to check out our Series GRC Grippers. While you're there, peruse our entire gripper product line!

PHD Conveying Actuators

PHD has engineered long-life actuators for Slide Gate mechanisms and Conveyor Diverter systems in many high speed material handling industries. Our robust designs incorporate high strength steel alloys and wear resistant bearings and bushings where OEM devices repeatedly fail. Drop-in replacement designs make change over a breeze.

Does your packaging line include Case Erection? PHD has OEM replacement cylinders for several commercial case erection machines. How about Palletizing Stations? Our Rotary Actuators can provide significantly longer life and rotational stability substantially reducing maintenance and downtime. What about product Ejection Stations? PHD offers Box Eject Slides with greater distance between bearings for longer travel and greater shaft stability.

PHD may have just the actuator you're looking for. Visit our site to see some of our Unlimited Unique Solutions for the Packaging and Conveying industries.
