Rotary gripper
The shortest in its class
Afag Automation is expanding its product range with the DG 20 rotary gripper. According to the manufacturer, the DG 20 is particularly suitable for demanding pneumatic gripping and turning tasks involving small parts.
As the shortest rotary gripper in its performance class, it has extremely precise jaw guidance. It is designed for a maximum mass moment of inertia of 3.5 kilograms per square centimetre and is therefore significantly stronger than comparable models. The DG 20 rotary gripper consists of a rotary drive and a rotating gripper head. There are pneumatic connections on four sides of the base body, which the user can select as required. The DG 20 can be installed both vertically and horizontally.
With a maximum mass moment of inertia of 3.5 kilograms per square centimetre, it is suitable for gripping and turning small mass-produced parts. The rotation angle of the precision mechanical device is 180 degrees as standard. For applications where only a quarter turn is required, the DG 20 can optionally be equipped with a fixed stop. This limits the angle of rotation to 90 degrees. The rotary grippers have an air throttle for fine adjustments. This enables precise, sensitive control. Interfering cables and hoses can all be routed away at the rear of the rotary grippers. According to the manufacturer, this prevents damage and failures caused by cable and hose movements and avoids process disruptions. sw
