Sensor options: Programmable magnetic sensors (PRO-SSR series) mountable at jaw tip or tail

2. Product Variants and Technical Details

The PB series includes multiple models differentiated by piston bore size, actuation type, jaw design, and sensor integration:

PB-0002: 6mm piston bore, 8mm thickness, single-acting with opening spring
PB-0007-S3 / PB-0008-S3: 8mm piston bore, single-acting, rubber (HNBR) pads, prepared for PRO-SSR sensors, minimum detectable thickness 2mm
PB-0013 / PB-0013-S2: 12mm piston bore, single-acting, with SS3N203-G sensor (PB-0013) or optional SSY magnetic sensor (PB-0013-S2)
PB-0014, PB-0015, PB-0017, PB-0140, PB-0150, PB-0160, PB-0170: Various 12mm piston bore models with different jaw materials (steel, rubber pads), actuation types (single or double-acting), and jaw designs (standard, swiveling, diamond knurl)
PB-0180 Series and Variants: Standard 12mm piston bore, single-acting with opening spring, equipped with SS3N203-G sensor or optional SSY magnetic sensor, vacuum sensor variants (SV series), and rubber pad options

3. Sensors and Options

Standard sensors: SS3N203-G magnetic sensors mounted at jaw tip
Optional sensors: SSY magnetic sensors with reduced size to minimize grip area interference
Vacuum sensors available on SV series models for grip detection via vacuum pressure
All sensors include 2.5m cables and M8 snap plug connectors
Minimum detectable thickness for sensors: 2mm

4. Dimensional Drawings and Mounting

Detailed first-angle projection drawings provided for each model
Dimensions include overall size, jaw opening angles, stroke, and mounting hole sizes (typically M4, M5, or Ø10 mm)
Air and vacuum port locations clearly indicated
Mounting through holes facilitate secure integration into automation systems
Adapter fitting (AF10G18M) available for most PB models (except PB-0002) to ease mounting; weighs approx. 18 g

5. Materials and Contact Surfaces

Steel probes and jaws for durability and strength in standard applications
HNBR rubber pads for soft contact to protect delicate parts

6. Applications and Best Practices

Ensure compressed air quality meets ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] to maintain performance and longevity
Use FDA-H1 food-grade grease for lubrication, especially in food-related environments
Select jaw type (teeth or pads) based on sprue characteristics and required grip softness
Choose piston bore size and actuation type according to force and cycle frequency needs
Integrate sensors based on detection requirements and spatial constraints
Verify mounting hole alignment and dimensions for secure installation
Use rubber pad variants for handling delicate parts to avoid damage
Ensure proper air and vacuum connections as per model specifications

Summary

The Gimatic PB series offers a versatile range of non-selfcentering pneumatic sprue grippers with multiple sizes, jaw options, and sensor integrations. Designed for reliable gripping in automated molding and assembly processes, the series supports customization through various jaw materials and sensor types. Detailed technical data and dimensional drawings facilitate proper selection, installation, and integration into industrial automation systems.
