NITRA® Pneumatic Grippers are pneumatic actuators with jaws (or fingers) to grip objects. Compressed air pneumatic grippers have the ability to pick up, hold and release objects. Two jaw parallel and two jaw angle grippers are available from AutomationDirect. Parallel grippers open and close parallel to the object and angle (or angular) grippers open wider than parallel jaws requiring more space. Pneumatic grippers are used in a broad range of general automation processes such as pick & place, material transfer, clamping and indexing.
