Common questions on this part
Each steel gripper finger includes two precision-tapped M3 or M4 mounting holes and a dowel pin hole. Machine shops can fabricate custom nylon, Delrin, or rubber-faced jaws that bolt directly onto the fingers to match the exact profile of your workpiece.
Two solid-state magnetic auto-switches can be fitted into the body slots—one calibrated to the 'Open' position and one to the 'Grip' position. If the gripper closes completely past the part dimension, the PLC detects a missed part fault.
Yes. The linear roller guide and piston are pre-lubricated with high-grade synthetic grease for maintenance-free operation on clean, dry compressed air.
Yes. The BLX-MGP-4700 follows the international MHZ2 mounting footprint and port centers for direct drop-in replacement of SMC grippers.
Standard 10mm, 16mm, and 20mm bore parallel grippers are stocked at STARNEX in Nairobi for immediate delivery.
