The series includes GN-05, GN-10, GN-20, GN-30, and GN-50 models, with 'S' suffix variants featuring magnetic pistons for sensor integration.

Features and Options

• Single-acting pneumatic operation with self-centering mechanism for precise cutting.
• Compatibility with multiple standard blade types for versatile applications.
• Magnetic pistons in 'S' models enable sensor detection for position monitoring.
• Optional magnetic sensors available for enhanced automation integration.
• Air connection and sensor groove provided for easy installation and sensor mounting.

Applications and Best Practices

These air nipper actuators are suitable for industrial automation tasks requiring precise cutting with pneumatic actuation. The magnetic sensor option supports integration into automated systems for feedback and control. Operating within specified pressure and temperature ranges ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Critical Parameters and Limitations

• Operating pressure must be maintained between 2 and 8 bar.
• Operating temperature range is limited to 5° to 60 °C.
• Air quality must comply with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] to prevent actuator damage.
• Selection of actuator size should consider required cutting capacity and torque.
