Long-stroke grippers are compact and robust

Just like the size existing PFH 200, Schunk's new PFH 150 long-stroke, parallel-finger gripper, with its shortened housing, is extremely robustness. A stable sheet/roller belt cover protects all bearing and drive elements against contamination.

Long-stroke grippers are compact and robust

Precise handling of various workpieces is assured by a drive via two fixed pistons, which generates even forces. Due to the low friction, a high degree of efficiency is achieved and wear is minimised. For a gripper with such a long stroke, the closing and opening times of approximately 0.8s are extremely fast. These high speeds require damping of the end positions.
