GRIPPER

摘要

The present invention relates to a gripper (1), in particular a pneumatically actuated gripper, with a housing (2), in which a preferably pneumatically actuable linear drive (6) is formed. The gripper also has first and second gripping jaws (10, 20), which are respectively mounted pivotably in relation to the housing (2) about a pivot axis (D1, D2). The first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) are coupled to the linear drive (6) in such a way that a linear movement produced by the linear drive (6) is respectively converted into a pivoting movement of the first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) in an opening or closing direction of the gripping jaws (10, 20). In order to ensure reliable gripping, the first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) are coupled to one another by way of a synchronizing element (5) in such a way that, when the linear drive (6) is actuated, the pivoting movements of the first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) are synchronized.

主权项

1. A gripper (1), particularly a pneumatically actuated gripper, wherein the gripper (1) comprises the following:
a housing (2) in which a preferably pneumatically actuable linear drive (6) is disposed; and a first and a second gripping jaw (10, 20), each mounted so as to be pivotable about a rotational axis (D1, D2) relative to the housing (2),wherein the first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) are coupled to the linear drive (6) such that a linear movement produced by the linear drive (6) is converted into a pivoting movement of the respective first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) in an opening or closing direction of said gripping jaws (10, 20),characterized in thatthe first and second gripping jaw (10, 20) are coupled together by means of a synchronizing element (5) such that upon actuation of the linear drive (6), the pivoting movements of the first and second gripping jaws (10, 20) are synchronized.
