EFFECTO EMG2 Electro-Magnetic Gripper Review: Specs and Uses of the 0.03 s Electro-Magnetic Micro Gripper
Updated: 7 days ago
The EFFECTO EMG2 is a very fast micro gripper for tiny parts. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The EMG2 is built for speed with small parts. Its jaws are driven electro-magnetically and open or close in 0.03 s, an order of magnitude faster than motor-driven grippers. Stroke is just 2 mm per jaw and grip force 7 to 10 N, for parts of around 50 g, with ±0.01 mm repeatability. It weighs 0.2 kg and is driven by an external control box at 24 V; position feedback uses optional proximity sensors.
