“SPG”Series Parallel Grippers Problem #1: Conventional grippers place the power cylinder some distance above the jaw. The jaw is driven by a "linkage" that creates a "bending moment" which results in loss of force and creates wear points for future maintenance headaches. Solution: SPG Grippers offer a choice of jaw styles for easy attachment of tooling. Note that all SPG Gripper jaws have three rows of tapped mounting holes and dowel holes for increased versatility.

Solving conventional gripper problems with only 3 moving parts! Problem #5: Competitive grippers are difficult to repair – lots of parts, etc. Solution: SPG Grippers have only three moving parts, and six total! #1 Porting Block dimension "B". "B" is machined to a tolerance of ±.001 on all SPG Models. Mounting the gripper is accomplished by "slipping" the gripper's dowel into a slip fit dowel hole and pushing the gripper into the machined channel. Removal is easy and does not required "prying" the gripper off of two "stuck" dowel holes. Special Example #2 Three position jaws Fabco-Air has...
