AirTAC HFD Series Compact Air Gripper
Compact Pneumatic Air Gripper
The AirTAC HFD Series Compact Air Gripper is a compact double-acting pneumatic gripper designed for automation applications where installation space is limited.
Its double-piston structure provides strong gripping force, while the double-track guide design improves load capacity and resistance to bending moments. Compared with conventional parallel jaw grippers of similar gripping force, the HFD Series reduces overall height by approximately 50%, helping save valuable machine space.
Available in bore sizes from 8 mm to 25 mm, the HFD Series is suitable for automated handling, positioning, assembly, pick-and-place and industrial gripping applications.
