5 Product description
Alternating ventilation moves the internal drive up and down. The movement generated in this process is transferred to
the gripper jaws by kinematics, producing the gripper jaw movement. For grippers with an integrated spring, this spring
supports the grip force, acting in the force-transfer direction.
