EFFECTO BLQ-I Internal Expansion Gripper Review Summary
The BLQ-I enters a bore and inflates to grip it, expanding up to 1.86 times its deflated diameter. Twelve neoprene sizes cover bores from 8.5 to 105 mm with recommended loads from 0.3 to 28 kg; five silicone versions tolerate -30 to 160 °C. Wide contact spreads the force, so glass, plastic and finished surfaces are not marked, and there are no seals or bearings to wear.
Pros
Wide size range
Up to 28 kg
Does not mark parts
High-temperature silicone
Cons
Needs a bore
Who It Is For
