A self-centering clamp having three jaws, for the industrial automation field and particularly adapted to equip robotic arms, is described. One of the jaws is controlled by a cursor directly activated by the clamp actuator, that can be electric, pneumatic, oleopneumatic, etc. The other two jaws are controlled by corresponding transfer levers kinematically coupled to the cursor. Unlike the conventional arrangements, the levers rotate in a lying plane parallel to the handling plane of the jaws and the cursor. Therefore, the clamp is not very bulky in height and has low weight. |
