Pneumatic handling products from Parker Hannifin

Parker Hannifin has introduced a range of handling products for industrial automation applications that complements its existing range of pneumatic products.

The pneumatic grippers, rotary actuators and slide table products can be deployed in various applications, and provide repeatable, reliable part holding with fast response times.

The grippers provide a secure mounting point for adaptable fingers that can be designed to suit the shape or position of the work piece to be handled. With a range of mounting positions and features, the grippers are easy to install, compact/ robust in design and offer a variety of gripping forces.

Available in a variety of angular and parallel versions the grippers provide clamping forces from 11 to 203N.

Designated as the P5SS, the new precision slide tables have been designed to be both compact and lightweight thanks in part to the twin pneumatic actuators. Available in six bore sizes 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 25mm, the tables are simple and easy to install.

They offer the possibility for different strokes up to 150mm and guarantee precision combined with rigidity. Mounting is by direct fixing with threaded holes and location dowel holes on the body, on the front plate and on the carriage. This allows flexibility, improved work piece mounting and repeatability.

Flush mountable sensors in the recessed grooves on the body add mechanical protection and reduced installation time. Shock absorbers are available for applications requiring faster cycle times.

The new rotary tables are available in bore sizes of 16, 20, 25 and 32mm and can be mounted quickly and easily without the need for additional brackets.  All variants have mounting holes on two faces to simplify installation.

Rotation can be adjusted and precise control even under heavy loads can be achieved.  With specially designed load fixing and centering capabilities, end stroke cushioning is available using an adjustable bolt or adjustable shock absorber in the case of the largest sizes.

This offers dependable linear cushioning thus ensuring objects are carried and positioned safely/ securely. Two protected grooves are available on either side for sensor installation.
