Schunk PGN240-1-SD Pneumatic Parallel Gripper

The SCHUNK PGN-plus 240-1-SD is a dust-tight, two-finger pneumatic parallel gripper designed for universal part handling in automation cells. It uses a wedge-gear with surface power transmission to deliver high, repeatable gripping force across a 30 mm stroke per jaw, with a closing force of 4200 N and an opening force of 4440 N. The unit weighs 9.1 kg and supports mid‑size workpieces, with a recommended maximum workpiece weight of about 21.5 kg; its cylinder volume per double stroke is 650 cm³, influencing actuation speed and cycle performance. Operating on filtered compressed air, it runs on a nominal 6 bar system and supports an operating pressure range of 2.5 to 8 bar, with a minimum purge pressure of 0.5 bar. The gripper features aluminum housing and steel base jaws, is rated for ambient temperatures up to 90 °C, and is offered in the dust-tight SD variant of the PGN-plus 240 family for enhanced protection in challenging environments. Designed for durable, long‑term use in applications such as assembly, testing, and packaging, this 240-size parallel gripper provides robust actuation and reliable handling while maintaining compact form and compatibility with standard gripper fingers.
