Product Profile: Misumi’s Applied Robotics OG-A Pneumatic 2-Finger Toggle Gripper

What is it? The Applied Robotics OG-A is a two-finger toggle gripper with a high grip force and non-reversible mechanism, suitable for heavy industrial applications. 

The 180-degree jaw opening allows for part clearance without having to back the gripper out of the workspace. The driving mechanism is guided along the entire stroke. The toggle mechanism provides non-reversible gripping in the opening and closing positions, even without air pressure. A special finger mounting system allows fine adjustment of the gripping point. It is mounted from two sides in two screw directions for flexible mechanical integration.  Permanent magnets facilitate direct monitoring of piston movement. A slot is provided for mounting and positioning of magnetic-field sensors. Air supply is via a screw connection or a hose-free direct connection.
