No-Contact Gripper | Vacuum

The SMC ZNC series vacuum gripper applies the Bernoulli principle to handle delicate workpieces without surface contact, eliminating the risk of marking or damaging sensitive materials.

Powered by compressed air, this pneumatic non-contact gripper generates a gripping force of up to 10.7 N and operates in ambient temperatures up to 80 °C.

Weighing just 0.027 kg, it integrates readily into standard pneumatic systems without requiring specialized infrastructure.

This Bernoulli gripper is designed for applications involving thin sheets, films, printed circuit boards, porous materials, and other fragile or easily damaged components where traditional vacuum cups or mechanical grippers would leave marks or cause deflection.

The device uses only clean compressed air to create a stable lifting force through aerodynamic principles, maintaining a controlled gap between the gripper and workpiece throughout the handling cycle.
