The FKHC Series of angled grippers are lightweight and can provide a very high force. Ideal for applications that require movement in tight, confined spaces, the largest gripper in this series weighs only 11 ounces.
These grippers have a unique additional piston that provides extra force when pressure is applied, enhancing synchronization. Adjustable needle valves control the speed of jaw motion to best suit any number of applications.
FEATURES
• Operating pressure ranges from 30 psi to 87 psi.
• Operating media is compressed air.
• Opening: -10 to 30°
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
• Available in four bore sizes: 10, 16, 20 and 25 millimeters.
• Magnetic piston is standard.
• Standard adjustable needle valve to control open/close speed.
• Integrated sensor slots in the gripper body enable easy mounting of sensors for both “open” and “closed” position sensing.
• Aluminum gripper body is hard-coated to ensure abrasion and to combat corrosion.
• No additional lubrication is required.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
• Part ejection: During the final stage of thermoplastic mold injection, grippers can be used to hold the part of the mold for easier ejection of the finished product.
• Part handling: As the load moves through the workpiece, grippers are used to handle and move the object as needed with greater precision when compared to parallel grippers.
• Clamping and rotating: Angled grippers are able to clamp down on objects in the same way that two fingers can pinch, rotating objects as needed.
