Destaco RPL-4 low profile parallel gripper is designed for part positioning and repeatable operations in high-pressure applications. It is ideal for delicate part handling with valve controls, clean rooms & harsh environments, precise gripper fingers and high temperature applications utilising Viton seals. It is used in the automotive & electronics industries, where parts have predictable geometry. It uses piston and compressed air to operate the jaws and deliver zero side play using low friction Dual-V roller bearings. This lightweight and compact gripper is capable of offering grip force up to 36 lb, at pressures ranging from 5 to 100 psi. Destaco RPL-4 gripper can operate at temperatures ranging between -30 degrees and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It is compatible with quick disconnect sensor cables, effect & resistive sensors, fail safe valves, sensor mounting kits and repair kits for high performance workholding, automation and containment solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the advantage of parallel gripper over angular gripper?
A. As the fingers fit into small areas, Destaco parallel grippers are capable of pulling a part down inside a machine, whereas angular grippers are only useful for getting tooling out of the way.
Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?
A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.
Q. What is the holding capacity of a clamp?
A. The holding capacity or holding force signifies the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during automotive part assembling or similar manufacturing processes.
Q. Does Destaco also supply any water-resistant clamp sensors?
A. Yes, Destaco also offers inductive sensors designed especially in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
