Pneumatic Needle Grippers OPT is a needle gripper suitable for handling non-rigid and highly porous material (primarily textiles). Advantages • Extremely short cycle time for high speed applications. • High needle inclination for safe part clamping. • Sturdy and robust housing suitable for heavy applications. • High repeatability. • Long service life. Air Consumption per cycle (dual stroke) 26 cm³ 1.59 in³ Theoretical thrust for each needle @ 6 bar 147.5 N 33.2 lb Recommended workpiece weight* * Recommended workpiece weight is calculated for force-fit gripping with a coefficient of static friction of 0.15 and a safety factor of 3 against workpiece slippage. Opening Pressure 2 - 8 bar (29 - 116 psi) Working Temperature 5 - 60 ˚C (41 - 140 ˚F) Noise Emission (Sound Pressure) ≤ 70 dB(A) in any direction SECTIONAL DIAGRAM Guidelines for the selection of a gripper model Selection of the correct gripper model depends on the workpiece’s weight, the friction coefficient between the fingers and the workpiece and the required motion of the application. Due to inertial forces associated with motion, we recommend that the holding force of the gripper model should be from 10 to 20 times the workpiece’s weight. If the application presents high acceleration/deceleration or impacts during the motion, then a further safety margin should be conside
