Gripper hangs on tightly

A Techno-Sommer product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 21, 2005

ZK Series toggle tongs gripper from Techno-Sommer Automatic has closing force of up to 4200Ncm to hold, squeeze or cut wires, cables or chains.

The ZK Series toggle tongs gripper from Techno-Sommer Automatic has a closing force of up to 4200Ncm to hold, squeeze or cut wires, cables or chains.

This closing force is achieved because of the long lever effect of the toggle.

This product is available on a free evaluation basis.

In addition, a free DXF CAD file drawing of the gripper is available.

With the gripper in the closed position, the toggle is extended and guarantees mechanical self-locking.

The gripped part is therefore held safely even if the compressed air should fail.

Two pins mounted on the jaws can be used with optional mounting blocks for proximity switches to monitor the gripper.

Standard jaws are available for the unit for crimping and cutting.

The gripper housing is hard-coated aluminium.

All working parts are made from chrome-plated hardened steel.

Pins and attachment holes facilitate assembly.

Air connections for the double-acting cylinder are located on the front and back of the unit.
