PGN-plus-P Gripper

SCHUNK PGN-plus-P Gripper for universal use

Universal 2-finger parallel gripper with permanent lubrication, high gripping force, and high maximum moments due to the use of a multi-tooth guidance.

BENEFITS:

• 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)

PGN-plus-P Technology in Detail

The SCHUNK gripper PGN-plus-P raises the bar even further for pneumatically actuated universal grippers. The optimized multi-tooth guidance with permanent lubrication sets a benchmark on the market. At the same time, the PGN-plus-P benefits from the unique range of SCHUNK accessories for virtually the entire range of all conceivable automated applications.

• 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 areas.

• You can include a Sensor System

Unique variety of sensor systems e.g. magnetic switch MMS, inductive proximity switch IN, and much more.  (See MMS 22-PI 2 )

PGN-plus-P suitable for any application!

• Gripping force maintenance version AS/IS
  The mechanical gripping force maintenance version ensures minimum gripping force even in the event of a pressure drop. In the AS/IS variant this acts as a closing force, in the IS variant as an opening force
• Corrosion-protected version K
  for use in corrosion-inducing atmospheres
• High-temperature version V/HT
  for use in hot environments
• Precision version P
  for the highest accuracy
• ATEX version EX
  for explosive environments
• Dustproof version SD
  absolutely dustproof, increased degree of protection against ingress of materials.
• Application-specific protective covers
  up to protection class IP67, for use in high-temperature ranges
• Additional versions
  Various options can be combined
• Food-compliant lubrication
  The product contains food-compliant lubricants as standard. The requirements of EN 1672-2:2020 are not fully met. The corresponding NSF certificates can be found at https://info.nsf.org/USDA/Listings.asp can be called up with help of the lubricant information in the operating manual.
