The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers
New: 50% longer gripper fingers + long-life maintenance-free* + 50% higher gripping force
The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers now comes with permanent lubrication in the multi-tooth guidance! Lifelong maintenance-free.
The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers offer an improvement on proven technology. The three new features of the new pneumatic SCHUNK PGN-plus-P distinguishes by improved multi-tooth guidance, permanent lubrication with permanent lubrication pockets, and maximum force for higher workpiece weights.
The patented SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance. Proven technology now even better
The new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P and PGN-plus-E grippers are the result of more than 30 years of SCHUNK competence. They are based on an ingenious innovation strategy, which continuously expands proven basic components with highly up-to-date features. In 2000, SCHUNK acknowledged that the T-slot guidance that had been in use until then with force/ moment absorption needed to be improved. This was the moment SCHUNK multi-tooth guidance was born, which makes the SCHUNK PGN-plus-P universal gripper to the world's best gripper.
PGN-plus-P technology
With the new SCHUNK PGN-plus-P, SCHUNK is raising the bar even further for pneumatically powered universal grippers. By consistently optimizing multi-tooth guidance, it is setting a new benchmark for the market. At the same time the PGN-plus-P profits from the unique range of SCHUNK accessories for virtually the entire range of conceivable automation applications.
Up to 50% longer gripper fingers - due to higher maximum moments
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.
Maximum life span due to lubrication pockets in the robust multi-tooth guidance
Permanent lubricant pockets ensure a continuous grease supply. At the same time, it ensures that an even lubricant film is created rapidly, even with short strokes.
Higher force
The larger surface area of the piston in the same size gripper housing increases the grip force compared to the PGN-plus. Compared to the size of the gripper, heavier workpieces can be handled.
Maximum process safety
The multi-tooth guidance enables a greater diagonal pull surface, and therefore a lower surface pressure, for process-reliable and low-wear transmission of power to the base jaw.
