Greetings!
This month, we're highlighting our Series GRV Angular Gripper. If you're looking for a small angular gripper that can support large moment capacities and long tooling lengths, then this gripper is for you!
Next, we're featuring a Design World video showcasing our new product line, PHD Optimax�. Built on the foundation of long-life products for industrial automation, PHD Optimax products are actuators designed to meet machine builders' performance requirements at a competitive price.
Lastly, we take a look at our PHD Plus™ line of automation devices. PHD's electrically-driven cylinders, slides, and grippers along with Your Motor, Your Way, could be just the right alternative to traditional pneumatically-powered automation.
To your continued automation success,
The PHD Team

Series GRV Angular Pneumatic Micro Gripper raises the bar on angular gripper design
Series GRV is a compact, rugged precision gripper available in four sizes that can support large moment capacities and long tooling lengths. The combination of design and features makes the GRV a superior choice for a wide variety of automation applications requiring angular jaw motion.
This unit has a groundbreaking design among small angular grippers. Applications typically require wider jaw openings than the 11-12� commonly available - Series GRV has a 40� jaw opening. Competitor grippers have exposed mechanisms allowing contamination ingress to jam up or prematurely wear out the mechanism, where Series GRV is covered.
In addition, competitor grippers use pin and linkage mechanisms that have a lot of free play and wear out over a short time. Series GRV borrowed the proven and rugged cam mechanism from PHD's industrial grade Series 5300 Gripper for much longer life, less play, and better repeatability.
Series GRV Gripper features:
- robust construction to ensure long operating life
- precision dowel pin holes to ensure the accurate alignment of tooling and gripper mounting
- standard internal flow control, with no external flow control required
- "switch-ready" for easy integration of optional magnetic position sensing switches
- a teachable two-position switch that allows multiple positions on small grippers within the profile of the gripper
