OMEGA Engineering, Inc. Pneumatic Angular Grippers 180° DCT-RE Angular 180° Gripper

DCT-RE Series Pneumatic Grippers are angular grippers with a spring assist. This Fail Safe spring allows the gripper to retain the component should the air pressure supply fail, it also allows the gripper to be used with a single acting mode. DCT-RE pneumatic grippers have a 180° jaw opening allowing complete release of a directly fed part. Gripper forces ranges from 40 N (9 lbs) to 141 N (32 lbs). These angular grippers are compact and designed for confined spaces, but consideration must be given to allow for the additional space required for the rotating jaws. The adjustable stop accessory (BR) will help to reduce the space requirement by restricting the open position. Standard mounting is from the top, but the gripper can also be mounted from the back of the body and will operate in any direction. Each jaw has a useful rotational stroke of 90° for a full 180° opening and there is a over-stroke of approximately 1.5° before reaching the fully gripped position. Jaws have to be designed to close for a grip of 0° gripping position (parallel jaws).
