PHD Series GRL Grippers are available in two sizes with two jaw travel increments per size. This versatile combination can satisfy a wide range of application requirements.   

PHD SEries GRL GrippersDesigners have the choice of either a 14mm bore or a 16mm bore for different gripping forces and total jaw travels from 7mm to 26mm. Available in either metric or imperial versions, these extremely narrow units are specifically designed to be mounted on close centers making them very useful in multi-unit arrays. Rugged jaw support and hardcoated bearing surfaces ensure long cycle life with smooth, parallel jaw motion. Double acting operation provides both internal and external gripping capability.
