Design and Construction

The grippers feature a double-acting pneumatic drive allowing both internal and external gripping by applying compressed air to different chambers (A for opening, B for closing). The opening force is generally higher than the closing force. The grippers include an exclusive backlash adjustment system to ensure precision and repeatability.

They are maintenance-free and designed for long operational life. Various fastening holes and dowel pin holes are provided for secure mounting. Optional magnetic proximity sensors can be installed in dedicated grooves for position sensing.

FDA-H1 food-grade grease is used for applications requiring food safety compliance.

Dimensional Data

Detailed dimensional drawings are provided for each model (GS-10, GS-16, GS-20, GS-25, GS-32, GS-40) including:

Mounting hole sizes and locations
Sensor grooves and centering spots
Air connection ports
Stroke length per jaw
Dowel pin holes and through holes for fastening

Dimensions are given with tolerances to ensure precise installation and interchangeability.

Operating Instructions and Options

The grippers operate with compressed air within specified pressure and temperature ranges.
They can be configured with spring return options: spring closed (-NC) or spring open (-NO) for fail-safe positions.
Air supply to chamber A opens the gripper jaws; air supply to chamber B closes them.
Optional magnetic proximity sensors can be installed for position feedback.

Critical Parameters and Best Practices

Use compressed air quality compliant with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] to ensure longevity and performance.
Operate within the recommended pressure (minimum 1 bar up to 8 bar) and temperature (5°C to 60°C) ranges.
Ensure proper mounting using the specified holes and dowel pins to maintain repeatability and accuracy (±0.02 mm).
Consider the maximum working frequency (2-3 Hz depending on model) to avoid premature wear.
Use FDA-H1 grease for applications involving food or hygiene requirements.

Summary

The Gimatic GS series 2-jaw parallel grippers are robust, precise, and versatile pneumatic grippers suitable for a wide range of industrial automation tasks. Their design emphasizes reliability, ease of installation, and maintenance-free operation, with options for sensor integration and food-grade lubrication. Detailed technical data and dimensional drawings support correct selection and integration into automated systems.
