VGTR46-114-L Pneumatic Gripper with Extended Stroke

Description VGTR46-114-L

VGTR46-114-L is a parallel pneumatic gripper with a T-slot guide and an extended jaw stroke. The model is suitable for automated lines, robotic systems, equipment loading, and workpiece transfer applications that require a wider opening and closing range. Compared to VGFR series products with similar characteristics, the VGTR46-114-L offers a larger jaw stroke and is better suited for gripping parts of different dimensions. This is convenient when several workpiece sizes are processed on the same line or when an additional opening reserve is required without switching to a heavier unit. The gripper has a stroke of 19 mm per jaw, an opening force of 130×P N, and a closing force of 118×P N. The maximum workpiece weight is 3.5 kg, while the gripper itself weighs 1.1 kg. These parameters allow the VGTR46-114-L to be used in applications where compact models no longer provide sufficient stroke, while it remains important to maintain accuracy, controlled holding, and a moderate load on the robotic system.

Where the VGTR46-114-L Is Used

The VGTR46-114-L pneumatic gripper is used where medium-sized parts need to be reliably gripped and transferred: housing components, metal workpieces, parts after machining, tooling elements, plates, and products with an increased gripping width. The model is especially relevant when the application requires:

• extended jaw stroke for confident part gripping;
• stable holding of workpieces weighing up to 3.5 kg;
• operation as part of a robotic line;
• automatic feeding of parts into equipment;
• repeatable cycles without manual adjustment.

The VGTR46-114-L should not be selected based only on the weight of the workpiece. We recommend considering the part geometry, gripping point, center of gravity, transfer speed, and surface condition. For example, a compact part weighing 3 kg and a long workpiece of the same weight will load the jaws differently during robot movement. If the workpiece is a round bar and horizontal transfer is required, the holding scheme should be evaluated additionally. In some applications, it may be more practical to consider two-finger solutions with a suitable stroke, force, and working finger shape. To compare models, you can go to the pneumatic grippers section.

What to Consider When Selecting a Gripper

The VGTR46-114-L belongs to parallel pneumatic grippers. The jaws move in parallel, which makes the model well suited for parts with flat surfaces or surfaces convenient for fixation. The extended stroke helps work with workpieces that require a larger opening and closing range, while maintaining controlled holding. Before choosing this model, it is worth checking:

• whether the 19 mm stroke per jaw is sufficient for your part;
• whether the closing force is suitable for the actual weight and shape of the workpiece;
• whether the center of gravity shifts during transfer;
• whether vibration, oil, chips, or other factors affecting holding are present;
• whether jaw position monitoring with sensors is required;
• whether additional misalignment compensation is needed.

If the part enters the gripping area with a slight deviation, we recommend additionally evaluating compensation modules and position monitoring sensors. This approach helps reduce the load on the gripper, tooling, and robotic system, while also improving cycle stability.

Design Features of the VGTR46-114-L

The T-slot guide ensures stable jaw movement and good load-bearing capacity for tasks with an extended stroke. The model is designed for operation as part of automated systems where reliable holding, repeatability, and correct integration with an industrial robot or another actuator are important. The gripper body is made of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum. As a result, the VGTR46-114-L combines strength, sufficient load capacity, and relatively low dead weight. This is especially important when selecting equipment for a robotic line, where the total weight of the gripper, mounts, and tooling affects the manipulator load.

Why It Is Better to Buy the VGTR46-114-L Pneumatic Gripper from KIPVALVE

The VGTR46-114-L is a model for applications where extended stroke, reliable holding, and correct operation in an automated cycle are important. For the gripper to operate reliably, its characteristics must be matched with real production conditions: the weight and shape of the part, line speed, working pressure, transfer trajectory, and accuracy requirements. KIPVALVE helps select FOUK KIPVALVE pneumatic grippers for the specific tasks of industrial enterprises. We can assess whether the VGTR46-114-L is suitable for your part or offer another VGTR series model if a different jaw stroke, force, or load capacity is required.
