Pneumatic grippers are the backbone of modern pick-and-place automation, offering unmatched speed, precision, and reliability for handling diverse products across manufacturing applications.
Clean-room certified pneumatic grippers eliminate particle generation through specialized sealing systems, oil-free operation, and contamination-resistant materials, achieving ISO Class 1-5 cleanliness standards while maintaining precise gripping forces essential for delicate electronics handling.
Multi-mount actuators feature versatile mounting configurations including foot, flange, trunnion, and clevis options on a single unit, enabling 360-degree installation flexibility that reduces inventory requirements by 60-80% while cutting design time and manufacturing costs through standardized components.
Rotary actuator torque requirements are calculated using the formula T = F × r + friction losses + inertial loads, where applied force, moment arm distance, friction coefficients, and acceleration requirements determine the minimum torque needed for reliable operation with appropriate safety factors.
High-force pneumatic actuators for pressing and clamping operations deliver 2-10 times more force than standard cylinders through larger bore sizes, force multiplication systems, and optimized pressure designs – these specialized actuators provide reliable clamping forces up to 50,000 lbs while maintaining the speed and controllability advantages of pneumatic systems.
