VGTJM-115-530 Pneumatic Gripper for Parts up to 210 kg

Description VGTJM-115-530

VGTJM-115-530 is a powerful pneumatic two-finger parallel gripper with medium and high load capacity for automated production tasks where heavy and large-sized parts need to be handled. The model is suitable for robotic systems, equipment loading, transfer of massive workpieces, housing components, large tooling elements, and products that require reliable holding under high load. The gripper has a stroke of 100 mm per jaw, an opening force of 11000 N, and a closing force of 11000 N. The maximum workpiece weight is 210 kg, while the gripper itself weighs 69 kg. These parameters allow the VGTJM-115-530 to be used in applications where standard models are insufficient in terms of force, permissible workpiece weight, and reliability reserve in the operating cycle. The VGTJM-115-530 is equipped with a self-locking mechanism. This function improves holding stability and safety, which is especially important when working with heavy parts, large workpieces, and automated lines with increased load on the gripping unit.

Where the VGTJM-115-530 Is Used

The VGTJM-115-530 pneumatic gripper is used in areas where a robotic system or automatic mechanism works with heavy parts and must maintain stability during gripping, transfer, rotation, or placement of the workpiece into a technological position. The VGTJM-115-530 is suitable for:

• automatic loading and unloading of heavy equipment;
• transferring workpieces weighing up to 210 kg;
• working with large housing parts and tooling elements;
• gripping parts with a large width or shifted center of gravity;
• robotic lines with increased load on the gripping unit;
• applications where mechanical self-locking is important for safe part holding.

When selecting this type of model, it is especially important to consider not only the maximum workpiece weight. A part weighing 150–200 kg can load the gripper differently depending on its shape, length, fixation point, and center of gravity position. The farther the center of gravity is from the gripping axis, the higher the load on the jaws, mounting, and the entire robotic system. To compare the VGTJM-115-530 with other models by jaw stroke, force, and permissible workpiece weight, you can go to the pneumatic grippers section.

What to Consider When Selecting a Gripper

The VGTJM-115-530 is designed for applications that require a high force reserve, large jaw stroke, and stable holding of heavy parts. The 100 mm stroke per jaw allows the gripper to work with workpieces that require a wide opening range during gripping or release. Before choosing this model, it is worth checking:

• whether the 100 mm stroke per jaw is sufficient for your part;
• whether the 11000 N force is suitable for the weight, shape, and surface of the workpiece;
• where the center of gravity of the part is located relative to the gripping point;
• whether the robot or gantry system can withstand the total weight of the gripper, part, and tooling;
• whether vibration, dust, chips, oil, or impact loads are present in the working area;
• whether misalignment compensation is required when placing the part;
• whether mechanical self-locking is needed to improve cycle safety.

Special attention should be paid to the total weight of the unit. The VGTJM-115-530 itself weighs 69 kg, so when calculating the load, it is important to consider not only the workpiece, but also the gripper, mounting elements, adapter plates, and additional tooling. This approach helps avoid equipment overload and maintain production cycle stability. If the part enters the gripping area with slight deviations, we recommend evaluating compensation modules and position monitoring sensors in advance. This helps reduce the load on the tooling, improve positioning accuracy, and make the robotic system more stable.

Design Features of the VGTJM-115-530

The VGTJM-115-530 is a gripper with sliding bearings. It is driven by two cylinders, while rack synchronization helps ensure coordinated jaw movement. The design also uses a shaft bearing, which increases mechanism stability when working with heavy parts. Mechanical self-locking helps hold the workpiece more stably and improves production process safety. This is especially relevant when working with large parts, where even a slight displacement can lead to line stoppage, tooling damage, or additional load on the robotic system. For correct operation of the VGTJM-115-530, it is important to properly design the working fingers. Their shape must correspond to the part geometry, contact points, center of gravity position, and transfer trajectory. KIPVALVE helps evaluate not only the gripper itself, but also the tooling that affects the stability of the entire unit.

Why It Is Better to Buy the VGTJM-115-530 Pneumatic Gripper from KIPVALVE

The VGTJM-115-530 is a solution for production facilities where confident gripping of heavy parts, a high force reserve, mechanical self-locking, and reliable operation as part of an automated system are required. For the equipment to work correctly, the model characteristics must be matched with actual operating conditions: the weight and geometry of the workpiece, transfer speed, working pressure, movement trajectory, and accuracy requirements. KIPVALVE helps select FOUK KIPVALVE pneumatic grippers for the tasks of industrial enterprises. We can assess whether the VGTJM-115-530 is suitable for your part or offer another model from the series if a different option is required in terms of jaw stroke, force, workpiece weight, self-locking function, or operating conditions.
