• Patented double wedge design:This gripper utilizes our patenteddouble wedge design for actuationand synchronization.

• Fail safe operation:The force supplied from the internalspring can be used to maintain grippingforce if the gripper looses air pressure.

• Single acting spring return:A gripper can be actuated in onedirection working against the springwith a single air supply line and actuatein the opposite direction with the forceof the spring.

• Double acting spring assist:Spring assist along with the pressurizedgripping motion generates resulting gripforce that is greatly increased allowinghigher grip forces at lower air pressures.

• Internal or external gripping:This gripper is available in a springclosed model (-C) for external grippingor spring open model (-O) for internalgripping.

- Two safety springs apply pressure to a piston. One end of the piston isconnected to a double wedge that has two opposing racks that slide inthe jaw holder slot.

- It converts vertical motion of the piston into horizontal opposite synchronousmotion of the 2 jaws.

- In order to benefit from spring power and from pneumatic control power, thepneumatic inlet must be applied to “S” for gripping and with “D” for release.An arrow etched onto each jaw holder indicates the gripping direction.

- Springs can be used to increase the grip force or to hold part in the eventof air loss. It also allows the gripper to be used in single acting mode.

B-SERIES “B-Series” Industrial Parallel

BRP - HEAVY DUTY SERIESThe BRP Parallel Gripper are heavy duty and rugged for reliable operationin real life industrial operations. Sealed jaws protect the internal mechanismfrom chips and coolant in machining applications. Hardened tool steel jawsand supports allow for long tooling fingers and high moments and forces.

• Rugged Design

• High Grip Forces andMoment Loads

• Support for Long Fingers

• Optional Spring Open or Close

BPW - WIDE BODY SERIESThe BPW Parallel Gripper feature a wide body design ideal for handlinglarge and wide parts using long fingers. The jaws are supported throughthe full length of the body for high moment carrying capacity and are sealedagainst chips or particles, which makes it ideal for use in machining orfoundry applications.

• For Large and Wide Parts

• High Grip Forces andMoment Loads

• Support for Long Fingers

• Non-synchronous Option

• Optional Spring Close (BPW-1600 only)

BPG - LONG STROKE SERIESThe BPG Parallel Gripper feature a long stroke and low profile and they areoften used to handle different size parts with the same fingers. The jaws andsupports are made of hardened tool steel and the body is made of lightweight,hard anodized aluminum.

• Accommodate Multiple Part Sizeswith same Fingers

• Long Strokes

• Optional Spring Open or Close

• Low Profile Design

• A double acting piston is connected to a triple sided wedge.

• The triple wedge slides in a slot in each of the jaws converting the verticalmotion of the wedge into a horizontal motion of the jaws.

• Each jaw moves within the slots. The design of the bottom case increasesthe rigidity and permits longer fingers. The large surface area of the guidingsystem permits higher moment loads.

• This gripper is suitable for internal or external gripping using single or doubleacting mode.
