Integrated linear guide rail with ball bearing design provides high rigidity and high precision.
Parallel gripping design provides stable and accurate gripping performance.
Three acting types are available: double acting, single acting normally closed and single acting normally open.
Multiple finger mounting options are available to suit different gripping and installation requirements.
Positioning pin design helps prevent deviation between the guide rail and gripper body.
Multiple mounting directions provide flexible installation for different automation applications.
Magnetic switch slots allow easy sensor installation and position detection.
No additional lubrication is required, simplifying maintenance.
Seven bore sizes are available: 6, 10, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40 mm.
The AirTAC HFZ Series Air Gripper is designed for automation systems requiring precise parallel gripping and reliable workpiece handling. Its ball bearing linear guide structure makes it particularly suitable for repetitive gripping applications where rigidity, repeatability and stable movement are important.

HFZ Series provides different gripping forces and opening/closing strokes according to bore size and acting configuration.
For the HFZ double acting model, the catalogue specifies gripping force values at 0.5 MPa operating pressure and a gripping point of L = 20 mm.
Available opening/closing strokes for both sides range from approximately 3 mm to 30 mm, depending on bore size and model.
For exact gripping force, finger length and allowable load, refer to the HFZ Series catalogue when selecting the gripper.
