Application

The PG01 is a timing-controlled, electrical parallel gripper. It is mainly used in educational applications and not suitable for manufacturing.

The Gripper operates on +24V DC supply voltage and 24V signal voltage.

  • If the signal is high, the gripper motor will turn over for a set amount of time to open the jaws.
  • If the signal is low, the gripper motor will turn over for a set amount of time to close the jaws.

After the gripper has closed a small holding current thrugh the motor will ensure that the gripper grips the object.
