February Product Spotlight

 

PHD's Series EGRK Electric Gripper combines performance, precision, and ease of use at an affordable package price! 

 

Now available with force and high speed travel adjustment, allowing for faster cycle time if full travel is not required.

 

 

Ideal for assembly and robotics, the Series EGRK Gripper brings a new level of performance in electric powered gripping devices. This ultra-precise unit provides exceptional gripping force and moment capacities in a simple "Plug and Grip" package.    

 

High precision jaw movement is maintained over the life of the unit using a wear compensating jaw guidance system (patent pending). 

 

EGRK benefits:

  • Available in three sizes with four variations per size, the heavy duty design provides high grip force and large moment capacities.
  • Simple easy-to-use "Plug and Grip" electric grippers. No programming needed at customer site.
  • Each gripper has its own optimized controller. Final grip force and high speed travel may be changed via potentiometers or input terminals.
  • Low electric power consumption, operating on 24 VDC power supply.

Washroom Solutions

 

Are you responsible for maintaining, managing, or purchasing equipment for industrial or commercial laundries? If so, PHD's latest product offerings into this market may be of interest to you.

 

Our Solutions for the Washroom brochure features many devices that include some hard-to-find items used on many commercial machines. Manufacturers of machines like Braun, Ellis, Jensen, or Lavatec employ actuators that at many times need repair or replacement.

 

Cylinders with drop-in replacement convenience are just some of the components we've developed for this market. Rugged aluminum and stainless steel construction help provide long life with corrosion resistance built in.

 

Additionally, the brochure includes a Laundry Process Flow diagram that points out many of the locations within a commercial laundry where PHD has developed solutions.


Do you operate and maintain Jensen Futurail Conveyors? PHD offers a drop-in trunion mount cylinder specifically made for those lines. How about a Unipress Triple Buck system? We provide grippers and rotary actuators for OEM devices. Jensen's Metricon Conveyor? We provide replacement stopper cylinders and discharge cylinders for that equipment.
