WORKHOLDING & POSITIONING GRIPPERS

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive specifications and applications for various workholding and positioning grippers, including the GP-Series, TriGrip, and other specialized grippers. It details materials, mounting options, and specific use cases for different types of grippers.
Replaceable Pad Overview: The document outlines different types of replaceable pads, such as smooth, serrated, and diamond patterns. Materials include solid carbide, carbide tipped, hardened steel, and non-marring Delrin, with specific mounting options like tapped or counter-bored holes.
Gripper Pad and Rest Pad Mounting Applications: Various mounting applications are described for fixed grippers, rest pads, and carbide pads, including round or square grippers with tapped or counter-bored holes, and edge grippers.
Threaded Adjustable Gripper Overview: This section details grippers made from high-speed tool steel and carbide tipped styles, highlighting their wear resistance and adjustability features.
Swivots® & Thrust Screw Overview: Swivots and thrust screws are designed for holding and positioning irregularly shaped workpieces, featuring a unique design that allows for swiveling and tilting, with replaceable pads and balls for various applications.
TriGrip Workholding Grippers System: TriGrip grippers are ideal for 5-axis machining, offering stability and reduced scrap material. They feature a pull-down effect to prevent workpiece lifting and are suitable for materials like steel, hardened steel, titanium, and aluminum.
Rubber Gripper Pads – GP Series: These pads are used in automation and positioning applications, made from black nitrile rubber with an aluminum backing. They are customizable and available in standard or custom sizes.
Specifications: Components are made from solid carbide, tool steel, and stainless steel, with features like serrated surfaces for enhanced grip, counter bored holes for mounting, and abrasive diamond surfaces for superior holding with minimal marking.
Procedures: Components are designed for both front and back side mounting, with specifications provided for socket head cap screws (SHCS). Urethane pads are rated based on the weight required to compress the surface, with variations depending on temperature and other factors.
Standards and Recommendations: Tool steel components are hardened to Rc 60/62, while stainless steel components are heat treated to Rc 43/46. The abrasive surface is comparable to a 100 grit abrasive, ideal for holding smooth or slippery applications.
Key Data from Tables: Fixed grippers are available in inch and metric sizes, with specifications for height, counter bore depth, and tooth pattern. Urethane pads are offered in different durometers and thicknesses, with load ratings provided for each configuration.
Critical Information: These components are suitable for high wear and load applications, providing firm holding and protection against surface damage. Detailed mounting specifications are available on referenced pages for precise installation.

TRIGRIP WORKHOLDING GRIPPERS SYSTEM Typical Clamping Min. Clamping With as little as 2mm (.08") of workpiece clamp surface to securely hold the Surface Surface workpiece, TriGrip workholding grippers are ideal for 5-axis machining operations (Double Row) (Single Row) and minimizing scrap material. The TriGrip grippers offer many advantages over 3.5mm (.14”) 2mm (.08”) traditional clamping systems including exceptional clamping stability, no need for pre-machining or dovetailing workpieces, vibration dampening and allowing for very secure holding at lower clamping forces to avoid deforming the...
