Angular grippers are used for gripping an off-centered object or for creating a wider opening with their angular stroke. The jaws of angular grippers are rotated away from the object in a radial motion, so they take up more room.
Additionally, there are three grippers with jaws and toggles that are made for handling needs that are more particular. The force rating of grippers is linked to an air pressure.
The Foundational Ideas Behind Angular Grippers, The gripper is connected to the compressed air supply system. As the compressed air is introduced into the cylinder, it powers the piston rod.
The piston rod is connected to the gripping fingers. As the air pressure moves the piston up and down, the fingers open or close in a parallel or angular manner.
Grippers operate by forcing the piston up and down in the gripper body’s cylinder with compressed air. Through a mechanical linkage, the gripper jaws also open and close as the piston moves. The gripper jaws’ motion can change.
Global angular gripper market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Bimba Manufacturing Co. today announced the expansion of its angular and parallel gripper portfolio with the new Bimba Pneumatic Gripper System.
The University Park, Ill.-based company said its system offers a cam-activated, high gripping force solution for handling large and heavy objects in the most demanding environments.
Key features of the Bimba Pneumatic Gripper System (BPGS) include: Gripping forces up to 450 lb. at 80 PS Rapid actuation time with a 0.05 second close, 0.09 second open, at 425 cycles per minute Interchangeable pads for maximum material application flexibility.
A compact size to fit into tight work envelopes in a variety of applications The BPGS has a long-lasting, hardened steel chassis. This enables it to withstand hard impacts for maximum component longevity.
The gripper will lock in a closed position for safety and is easily repairable by using a single wrench, reducing operational downtime and cost.
Users can configure the BPGS to meet specific application needs due to the vast array of jaws and pads available, including angular, regular, chisel, flange, and shovel.
The BPGS is ideal for a wide variety of industries including automotive, sheet metal fabrication, thermoforming, and more.Bimba added that its gripper can help reduce operational downtime because of its steel chassis and simple reparability.
