GRIP SHW-P Manual Tool Changer with Air Feed-Throughs Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The GRIP SHW-P evolves the SHW connector with integrated pneumatic feed-throughs, making the manual tool changer suitable for a wider range of applications.
It keeps the SHW's DIN EN ISO 9409-1 interface, repeatability under 0.02 mm, over 5,000 changes, cylindrical bolt locking, one-hand folding lever, locking pin, optional centering discs and lightweight anodized aluminium body.
Quick Verdict
The SHW with air built in: ideal for pneumatic grippers that need quick manual changes without loose hoses.

Design and Operating Principle
Air passages through the changer connect automatically on locking, so pneumatic grippers and vacuum generators work immediately after a swap.
All mechanical benefits of the SHW remain, including precise, play-free locking and low weight.
An energy feed-through surface still allows signal couplings.
Integration and Selection
Plumb robot-side air to the upper assembly and tool-side lines from the lower. Check port count and size with the supplier.
Add signal couplings as needed.
