LEHF Gripper, Battery-less Absolute Encoder
The LEHF gripper uses a belt driven slide shaft to open and close the fingers. The low profile, flat fingers follow a linear guide for alignment and stability. The body and drive construction permit long strokes, suitable for gripping larger items without excessive moment loading. This version includes a 24VDC motor with a battery-less absolute encoder. This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness. The machine's PLC can access the controller's operational and positional step data through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O.
- Body sizes: 32, 40
- Stroke range: 32 or 40mm (basic); 64 or 80mm (long)
- Gripping force range: 48 to 180 N
- Repeatability: ±0.05
- Low profile fingers
