What is a parallel gripper?

A parallel gripper is an end effector with two fingers that move toward and away from each other in parallel motions to clamp workpieces. The Zimmer Group GEP2010IO-05-B is a compact 2-finger parallel gripper designed for small parts automation, pick and place, and assembly handling.

What is the gripping force on the GEP2010IO-05-B?

The Zimmer Group GEP2010IO-05-B delivers 200N of gripping force per jaw to secure small parts reliably. This force is maintained across a 10mm stroke per jaw.

Does the GEP2010IO-05-B hold parts when power is lost?

Yes, the GEP2010IO-05-B has a self-locking mechanism that keeps workpieces securely grasped during power loss without requiring continued energy supply. This design ensures safe holding even in unexpected power interruptions.

How do I integrate the GEP2010IO-05-B with my robot controller?

The GEP2010IO-05-B integrates via digital I/O control, which streamlines connection with robotic controllers and automation platforms. Mounting is flexible on multiple sides with removable centering sleeves for fast setup.

What temperature can the GEP2010IO-05-B operate in?

The GEP2010IO-05-B operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to 60°C, making it suitable for high-cycle applications in warm industrial environments.

How accurate is the positioning on the GEP2010IO-05-B?

The GEP2010IO-05-B achieves repeatability of 0.02mm, providing consistent and precise positioning for pick and place accuracy in automated applications.

Electric gripper versus pneumatic for small parts automation:

The Zimmer GEP2010IO-05-B is a compact electric parallel gripper built for high-cycle precision work where pneumatic alternatives require ongoing air supply and offer less repeatability. Choose this gripper when cycle speed, part security during power loss, and zero maintenance outweigh the need for very high force or very long strokes.

For parts under 5 kg in tight robotic cells, the 0.3 kg weight and compact 2-jaw design free payload for heavier end-of-arm tools or sensors.
Where repeatability under 0.05 mm matters, the 0.02 mm positioning accuracy beats standard pneumatic grippers for consistent pick and place on small assemblies.
During unplanned power interruptions or emergency stops, the self-locking mechanism holds parts securely without energy input, unlike unpressurized pneumatic jaws.
In high-temperature or food-handling zones up to 60°C, electric operation avoids pneumatic condensation and contamination concerns.
For rapid setup on flexible production lines, removable centering sleeves and multi-sided mounting speed changeovers versus pneumatic porting and bracket rework.
