Long-Stroke Gripper CGH
First standardized lightweight gripper with RCC housing
40% less weight and all the power you need!
This standardized lightweight gripper with RCC housing
is SCHUNK‘s new benchmark RCC has an elasticity modulus
about four times greater than that of aluminum with
twice the tensile strength. At the same time, it weighs
about 40% less. SCHUNK takes advantage of these properties in the CGH pneumatic long-stroke gripper. Weighing
only 11.65 kg, it has a gripping force of 2500 N and a
variable stroke of up to 160 mm for each gripper finger. It
can handle workpieces up to 12.8 kg. This allows for greater
dynamics in existing systems or for use of smaller robots.

World premiere!
Increased dynamics for minimum cycle
times and maximum productivity.

Higher gripping forces even when long gripper fingers
are used
The recirculating ball-bearing guides of the CGH are supported separately for optimal distribution of loads. Approximately 90 percent of the energy used is applied to the
finger. The module can be precisely adjusted to the specific
load by changing the number and distance of the guides.
For especially large gripping forces or especially long fingers, the distance between the guides is simply enlarged.
In this way, even fingers longer than 1000 mm can be used.
Nearly identical clamping forces are applied to the entire
finger length. To increase the efficiency of the gripper even
further, the stroke can be scaled freely when in a dampened end position.
