No-Contact Gripper | Vacuum

The SMC ZNC series is a pneumatic non-contact gripper that employs the Bernoulli principle to handle thin, sensitive, or porous materials without making physical contact.

Operating on clean compressed air alone, this gripper lifts workpieces through airflow dynamics, eliminating surface marks or contamination on delicate items.

The unit is designed for integration with standard pneumatic systems and features a maximum gripping force of 5.2 N at this model size.

With a maximum ambient operating temperature of 80°C and a compact weight of 0.025 kg, the gripper suits applications where gentle handling is critical.

This technology is applicable to materials such as thin films, porous substrates, and other fragile or easily damaged surfaces where conventional vacuum cups or mechanical grippers would cause defects.
