Schunk GMBH
Schunk PGN Plus-P Parallel Gripper
Description
Universal 2-finger parallel gripper with permanent lubrication, high gripping force, and high maximum moments due to the use of a multi-tooth guidance.
Field of application
Pneumatic universal gripper for handling of workpieces in universal applications. For universal use in clean to slightly dirty environments. Special versions available for dirty environments.
Advantages – Your benefits
Robust multi-tooth guidance
for precise handling
High maximum moments possible
suitable for using long gripper fingers
Lubricant pockets in the mult-tooth guidance
ensure process reliability and extended maintenance intervals
Maximum piston surface area
for maximum gripping forces
Mounting from two sides in three screw directions
for universal and flexible gripper assembly
Air supply via hose-free direct connection or screw connections
for universal and flexible gripper assembly
Comprehensive sensor accessory program
for versatile querying possibilities and stroke position monitoring
Manifold options
for special optimization for your specific case of application (dustproof, high-temperature, corrosion-protected, etc.)
Options and special information
Gripping force maintenance version AS/IS
The mechanical gripping force maintenance version ensures minimum gripping force even in the event of a pressure drop. In the AS/S version this acts as a closing force, in the IS version as an opening force.
High-temperature version V/HT
for use in hot environments
Precision version P
for the highest accuracy
Anti-corrosion version K
for use in corrosion-inducing atmospheres
ATEX version EX
for explosive environments
Dustproof version SD
absolutely dustproof, increased degree of protection against ingress of materials.
Integrated air purge connection
impedes the ingress of dirt into the inside of the gripper
NEW: Version with food -compliant lubrication (H1G)
as a solution for an easy entry into medical technology, lab automation, pharmaceutical and food industry. The requirements of EN 1672-2:2020 are not fully met.
Additional versions
Various options can be combined with each other.
PGN-plus-P with multi-tooth guidance and permanent lubrication
We have improved the tried and tested technology even further in the universal gripper PGN-plus-P. For multi-tooth guidance, the supporting dimension between the six load-bearing shoulders was increased by up to 40%, thereby increasing the size of the guiding areas.
The benefits at a glance:
- Up to 120% higher finger load is possible*
- Up to 50% longer gripper fingers possible*
- Increased performance at the same gripper size and higher performance from the system
- Rapid and even lubricant distribution even with short strokes
* compared to a T-slot guidance
-
Up to 50% longer gripper fingers
The improved multi-tooth guidance enables the use of even longer gripper fingers for the same gripper size due to higher maximum moments, without overloading the guidance. Gripping with optimized interfering contours during handling tasks in confined spaces, is thereby made even easier. -
Longest service life due to lubrication pockets in the multi-tooth guidance
The lubricant pockets in the multi-tooth guidance ensure a continuous grease supply. The advantage is an even lubricant film that is created rapidly, even with short strokes. -
Up to 50% higher gripping force
The enlarged surface of the drive piston in the compact installation space of the PGN-plus-P allows an increase of the gripping force. Heavier workpiece weights can be handled with the same gripper size. -
Up to 120% higher finger load is possible
For multi-tooth guidance with permanent lubrication, the supporting dimension between the six load-bearing shoulders was increased, thereby increasing the size of the guiding surfaces.
