**Electric gripper**: used for gripping objects

**Introduction**

-	PGE series are industrial thin parallel electric grippers, and the number represent the maximum gripping force. The gripper is provided with a pair of parallel fingertips, which run
symmetrically during their movement. The main structure of the gripper is a smooth rectangular structure. With a small size, the gripper saves installation space. It has 5 installing holes, which can meet different installation conditions.

-   It features fast response and high gripping frequency, and is  equipped with an 8-pin communication interface. Because it is mainly used to clamp or jam objects, so it is applicable for relatively  light objects.

**Working principle**

-	The opening or closing of the gripper are realized by driving a pinion and rack and a cross roller guide way with a motor. Positioning points and clamping of electric grippers can be controlled.

**Applicable for**

-	the objects whose volume is less than the gripping stroke and whose weight is less than the maximum gripping weight
-	The gripper can be used for more objects by using customized fingertips.
