Series GRME

Series GRME - PHD, pneumatic, air, hydraulic, slides, switches, cylinders, rotary, clamps, actuators, stamping, linear, slide, switch, cylinder, clamp, grippers, gripper, escapements, escapement, multi-motion, actuator, clamp Series GRME Electric Clamp offers a simple design with high clamp force and fast field maintenance. The jaws of the Series GRME lock in the closed position ensuring part retention if power is lost. Available in thirteen jaw styles and 24 jaw openings that fit a wide range of clamping applications with a compact envelope size. Series GRME size 2 generates up to 250 lb of clamp force for maximum flexibility and performance. This electric clamp has integrated the controller into the motor cover to protect the controller from physical and electrical damage. The motor has a manual operator to aid in set-up and restart after an emergency stop.
