TOP OF THE CLASS

The multi-award-winning premium pneumatic grippers from the 5000 series with their extremely robust, hard-coated steel-in-steel profile groove guide can truly take on any role. Designed for genuine universal use, they have a range of features (speed, high gripping forces, long gripper jaw lengths) depending on the variant and therefore offer the right solution for every application!

YOUR BENEFITS

Steel Linear Guide – our most process reliable and most precise guide
Corrosion protected and sealed up to IP67 – for the toughest environment parameters
Up to 30 million cycles with no maintenance required – worry-free production
Pneumatic, pneumatically intelligent, electrical – flexible with three drive concepts
One mounting drill pattern for three drive concepts – no engineering effort when replacing

SEALED TIGHT – DESPITE ANY CHALLENGES

All premium grippers in the 5000 series are corrosion-protected and sealed to IP64 as standard, i.e. they are dust-tight and protected against spray water from all sides. If a protector is used, they even have a tightness class of IP67 (dust-tight and protection against temporary submersion).

ENDURANCE CHAMPIONS

Thanks to their low friction coefficients, compact structure and excellent emergency running properties, the grippers of the 5000 series can handle at least 30 million cycles without maintenance.

EQUIPPED FOR THE FUTURE

Are you Industrie 4.0-ready and looking for the right gripper? Then we recommend our -IL variant from the 5000 series. These pneumatic-electric IO-Link hybrid grippers are ideal for users who are taking the step into the Industrie 4.0 world of gripping but do not want to do without a pneumatic drive. A sensor system is integrated into the gripper that detects the position of the gripper jaws in the range of +- 0.05 millimeters. This not only enables process monitoring, but also, for example, the identification of workpieces based on their diameter. In addition, a total of 32 workpiece data records can be programmed into the grippers.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

In addition to our grippers with a steel-in-steel profile groove guide (Steel Linear Guide), you also have the option of choosing a model with a steel-aluminum profile groove guide (Aluminum Linear Guide). These grippers are particularly interesting for price-conscious customers who do not want to do without the proven quality of the Zimmer Group. Technically, the GPP/GPD5000AL grippers with their steel-aluminum profile groove guide outperform all T-slot grippers and are at least on a par with grippers with multi-tooth guides in the market environment. With its uncompromising “Made in Germany” quality, the Zimmer Group guarantees up to 15 million cycles without maintenance.

Accessories

The 5000 series grippers feature a variety of detailed solutions that make everyday use easier. In addition, we offer a wide range of gripper accessories such as universal, adjusting or interchangeable jaws as well as pressure pieces that greatly reduce the loads on grippers that occur during the joining process, for example.

The gripper blanks are available in aluminum (AL) and steel (ST) versions and are installed directly on the gripper using the screws in the scope of delivery. The fits for the centering sleeves are already in place for this purpose. One universal jaw is required for each gripper jaw.

By manually activating the locking mechanism, which is pretensioned by a spring, the adjustment jaw can be moved within a grid of detent notches that has a number scale. Depending on the forces and torques that apply, the adjustment jaws are available in aluminum (AL) and steel (ST) versions. One adjustment jaw is required for each gripper jaw.

For each gripper jaw, a fixed part and at least one loose part set is needed, depending on the number of gripper fingers to be changed. Manual locking via the Torx wrench included in the scope of delivery of the fixed part can take place from two sides.

When the gripper fingers are open, thepressure piece is used for spring-supported positioning of the workpiece against a limit stop. This greatly reduces the loads on the gripper that arise during joining.
