4.2 Description
The KGG is a narrow 2-finger parallel gripper with long stroke.
Field of application
for universal use in clean environments with light to medium
workpiece weights and a large stroke range.
Functional description
The aligned base jaws are actuated with compressed air directly by
the fixed piston, which opens and closes them. The base jaws are
synchronized by the internal rack and pinion arrangement..

WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected movements!
If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in
the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause
serious injuries.
•Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power
supply and secure against restarting.
•Make sure, that no residual energy remains in the system.
NOTICE
Damage to the gripper is possible!
If the maximum permissible finger weight or the permissible
mass moment of inertia of the fingers is exceeded, the gripper
can be damaged.
•A jaw movement always has to be without jerks and bounce.
•You must therefore implement sufficient reduction and/or
damping.
•Observe the information in the catalog data sheet.
NOTE
• Observe the requirements for the compressed air
supply, }3 [/13].
• In case of compressed air loss (cutting off the energy line), the
product loses its dynamic effects and does not remain in a
secure position. However, the use of a SDV-P pressure
maintenance valve is recommended in this case in order to
maintain the dynamic effect for some time.
