GRIP RSGU Signal Transmitter with LED Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The GRIP RSGU is an electronic magnetic switch that reports piston position so the gripper's status, such as open or closed, can be monitored. It is a PNP closer with LED indication.
It works with all GRIP gripper sizes and is recommended for the GP and GZ grippers. It is inserted into prepared grooves and fixed with a set screw. Versions are ZG-RSGU-01 with 2 m open cable and ZG-RSGU01-300-M8 with 300 mm cable and M8 connector.
Quick Verdict
A simple, essential sensor that lets the robot confirm gripper state before moving on.

Design and Operating Principle
A magnet on the gripper piston triggers the switch when it reaches the set position, so open or closed status is known without contact.
The LED shows switching status during setup and troubleshooting.
The M8 version plugs into standard sensor cables; the open-cable version suits direct wiring.
Integration and Selection
Slide into the gripper groove, set the switching point and tighten the set screw. Wire PNP output to robot I/O.
Use two switches for open and closed confirmation.
