February 2014 

Greetings!    

  

This February, we are highlighting our Series EGRK Electric Gripper. With no programming necessary, this "plug and grip" electric gripper is simple and easy to use while delivering the performance and precision you require.

 

Have you watched our Series ECV Ball Screw Electric Cylinder video? If your designs are leading you toward higher application flexibility or more precise motion and positioning control, then PHD Plus™ could be just the solution you've been seeking.

 

Lastly, we are featuring our Designer's Resource Process Guide. These online tools can assist in the reduction of project costs and in the shortening of the design processes.  

 

To your continued automation success,

February Product Spotlight

 

PHD Plus™ Series EGRK Heavy Duty Parallel Electric Grippers combine performance, precision, and ease of use at an affordable package price! 

 

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

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

Electric Cylinders Video 


PHD Plus™ Series ECV Ball Screw Electric Cylinders are electromechanical rod style actuators with an ISO/VDMA mounting interface, available in three sizes with a choice of two high precision ball screws per size optimized for high speed or high thrust applications. Travels are available up to 1,000 mm. A large selection of cylinder mounting accessories is available to simplify machine design.


In our Series ECV video, we present features and benefits along with our Your Motor, Your Way program which simplifies the specification and attachment of motor and controller manufacturers that you already use today.

  

 

 

PHD Interactive Design Process

  

Shorten your design process with an interactive guide that breaks down a typical design process from start to finish. Each step details what e-tools are available on phdinc.com to make the design process faster, easier, and more productive. 

 

These e-tools can assist in the reduction of project costs and in the shortening of design processes. And that means more time and money for you to do other things.

Design process steps
