Workholding

Features and Benefits of Pneumatic Workholding Products

When a product is being moved or worked upon in your application, a gripping or clamping component is a must in most applications. We carry a full line of grippers and clamps to meet the specific needs of your application. Our gripper offerings have parallel, angular, and multi-jaws to accommodate a multitude of gripping challenges. Our clamping actuators provide medium to large clamping forces to hold in place or assist in the safe lifting of most of your heaviest products.

Types of Pneumatic Workholding Products

Gripping

Gripping your product can be accomplished through multi-finger grippers, with the option of 2, 3, or 4 fingers, giving users the ultimate flexibility for any material handling or automated assembly solution, especially for end-of-arm tooling applications. Our parallel grippers are robust double-acting or single-acting, with high precision that has a repeatability of +/-0.01 for 6–25mm bores and +/-0.02 on 32–40mm bores. To help with installation, most grippers can be mounted from three different sides. Reed and solid-state switches that fit into the side grooves are available. Whether you are looking for small, highly accurate grippers for assembly applications or wider, larger grippers for the secure movement of larger payloads, you’ll find what you need in our range of grippers.

Clamping

Twist-clamp cylinders combine linear and 90-degree rotary motion, providing a vertical movement that moves a clamping arm away from the work piece before rotating, allowing for easy loading and unloading of parts without damage to the product. We offer larger power clamps that generate high clamping forces through a toggle link mechanism and will remain locked in the closed position, even when air pressure is removed. These can provide holding capacity up to 35,000 in-lbs. for high-strength applications.
