Why are almost all grippers on robots, cranes and manipulators pneumatic? It’s because powerful electric grippers are, for all practical purposes, unavailable.
To solve this problem, our electric grippers incorporate our patent-pending electric clamping actuator. This invention allows a gripper to close fast against any object with a powerful grip.
Our electric grippers are tough and robust, with a huge grip force and moment capacity, allowing large parts to be moved quickly.

What Happens if you Lose Power? The GED56 Has You Covered
The GED56 maintains an iron grip with no loss of grip force for hours or days!
Traditionally, robot grippers are all pneumatic, even though the robot is electric and most of the tooling around the robot is electric. Electric grippers are seldom used anywhere because:
- they’re not available with large grip capacities for heavy loads
- the bodies of available electric grippers are too small to lift heavy or large parts
- if power is lost, an electric gripper may lose a firm grip on the part
