PGN-plus-P with multi-tooth guidance and permanent lubrication
We have improved the tried and tested technology even further in the universal gripper PGN-plus-P. For multi-tooth guidance, the supporting dimension between the six load-bearing shoulders was increased by up to 40%, thereby increasing the size of the guiding areas.
The benefits at a glance:
- Up to 120% higher finger load is possible*
- Up to 50% longer gripper fingers possible*
- Increased performance at the same gripper size and higher performance from the system
- Rapid and even lubricant distribution even with short strokes
* compared to a T-slot guidance
-
Up to 50% longer gripper fingers
The improved multi-tooth guidance enables the use of even longer gripper fingers for the same gripper size due to higher maximum moments, without overloading the guidance. Gripping with optimized interfering contours during handling tasks in confined spaces, is thereby made even easier. -
Longest service life due to lubrication pockets in the multi-tooth guidance
The lubricant pockets in the multi-tooth guidance ensure a continuous grease supply. The advantage is an even lubricant film that is created rapidly, even with short strokes. -
Up to 50% higher gripping force
The enlarged surface of the drive piston in the compact installation space of the PGN-plus-P allows an increase of the gripping force. Heavier workpiece weights can be handled with the same gripper size. -
Up to 120% higher finger load is possible
For multi-tooth guidance with permanent lubrication, the supporting dimension between the six load-bearing shoulders was increased, thereby increasing the size of the guiding surfaces.
