Series GRR Gripper.... Heavy Duty, yet precise! |
|
Automotive wheels and rims, small engine blocks and manifolds, crated product or material, what heavy items do you want to carry with a gripper? PHD may have just the answer with our Series GRR. Available in four standard jaw travels, (150, 200, 250 & 300mm), these robust actuators still perform with precision in the most demanding applications.
Trademarked the Guardian® by PHD, the Series GRR features the ability to operate the jaws in synchronized, non-synchronized, and independently powered modes. Its three large diameter jaw guides provide extremely stable jaw travel and high moment capacities. Yet the GRR's compact design yields the lightest overall weight of all its nearest competitors.
Additional options include PHD's Rodlok® system which holds the jaws in a stationary position in the event of air pressure loss. An analog output sensor option continuously monitors jaw position. Proximity switches are also available for discreet position sensing.
Check out some of these application animations for the Series GRR. And be sure to visit PHD's Gripper web pages to learn more about the Series GRR and other quality grippers from PHD. |

Are you associated with the printing industry? Web Presses or Sheet Fed Presses, PHD has some long life actuators for some of those hard to find or long lead OEM items.

Just released, PHD's "Print" brochure includes a process flow map of a potential printing company. Surrounding the diagram are descriptions of many of the actuators PHD has developed specifically for needs of other customers. Items such as cover deck latches, log transfer grippers, and web tensioners that replace the OEM devices with high quality and value. How about a drop-in replacement for an Impression Roll Actuator for a Heidelberg CD Press, or a Back-to-Back Gate Cylinder?
