This pneumatic gripper from Festo is designed to pick up and move objects in an automated production process. It has two gripper fingers, which are double-acting, meaning they both open and close. The fingers have a high total opening force of 210N (Newtons) and a closing force of 190N to maintain a secure hold. This gripper is made from hard anodised wrought-aluminium alloy, which is corrosion-resistant for durability. You can assemble it in any position, making it a convenient and flexible choice.

• Compatible with proximity sensor to detect the position of objects
• Lightweight at 184g to reduce strain on equipment
• Ambient operating temperature range between +5°C and +60°C to withstand harsh environments
• Gripping jaws are made from non-corrosive high-alloy steel for durability in heavy-duty applications

• Vehicle assembly plants
• Laboratories
• Medical technology

A parallel gripper like this one uses compressed air to open and close its fingers in a single motion parallel to its body. This means it's suitable for picking up and moving objects of different dimensions, making it a versatile choice.
