Industrial RP-18 Double Wedge 2-Jaw Parallel Gripper

The Robohand RP-18 Double Wedge 2-Jaw Parallel Gripper delivers up to 400 lbf of parallel, synchronous gripping from a compact, aluminum-bodied pneumatic end effector, making it a robust choice for automation cells handling small to mid-size parts. Its double-wedge mechanism, driven by a single double-acting piston, converts vertical actuation into horizontal jaw motion for consistent internal or external gripping. Built with an aluminum body and carbon steel jaws, the RP-18 weighs 7.7 lb, spans 2.95 in in length, and uses a 2.5 in cylinder bore with a 1.25 in stroke, supporting up to 8 in maximum finger length. It operates on a 40–100 psi supply, with repeatability of ±0.001 in and typical accuracy of ±0.003 in, ensuring tight tolerances in repetitive cycles. Jaw operation is synchronous to maintain parallelism during opening and closing, simplifying grip alignment on cylindrical or rectangular parts. This general industrial two-jaw pneumatic gripper is part of the Robohand family, designed for reliable gripping in automation environments.
