PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic control gripper device which is elastically deformable by a mechanical means and is suitable for firmly gripping an article and an object. SOLUTION: The gripper device comprises a support that holds a plurality of gripper modules that are provided around a geometric axis of the support and are positioned parallel to and angularly separated from each other. Each of the modules has an external arc along a radial slot 18 along one side surface of a housing and comprises an arched flexible proper gripping element 21 with which an actuator piston is engaged. All the proper gripping elements are movable between a contraction released static state in which the external arc is retracted in each slot and a compressed/contracted work state in which the external arc is protruded from the radial slot and is engaged with an article, an object, or a case which is an object to be gripped.
