180° pneumatic angular gripper
GWU series
MONTECH
The Universal Angular Grippers GWU-20/GWUI-20 are designed for external gripping. The pneumatic cylinder is double-acting. The special shape of the jaw actuating bracket generates high gripping forces without self-locking when the gripper is in the closed position.
The inductive proximity switches needed to scan the end positions and the compressed-air supply are arranged on the two narrow sides. This enables several grippers to be mounted side by side without limiting the accessibility to the proximity switches or compressed air supply.
With jaws that open 180°, the GW gripper may reduce the number of movements required to grip a part. The maximum opening angle saves a handling movement in many cases.
