KOGANEI CORPORATION
Koganei NHB Series Parallel Type Linear Guide Specification Mechanical Hands

Manufacturer: KOGANEI CORPORATION
Features
To start, these units are designed without the need for air piping. As a result, they are ideal for locations where air lines cannot reach, such as on index tables or in compact machinery. This feature provides flexibility for installations in tight spaces.
In addition, there are three types available. Specifically, these include the parallel type, the parallel type with a linear guide specification, and the linear guide specification in a three-finger configuration. Consequently, this variety allows for customization depending on the application.
Moreover, the spring force is adjustable. This means it can be set to either strong or weak, offering additional versatility in response to different workpieces. Therefore, the system can be tailored to meet specific handling requirements.
Finally, the linear guide specification uses a high-precision guide on the lever. This ensures an accuracy of ±0.01 mm [±0.0004 in.] and contributes to the long operating life of the unit. As a result, you can count on consistent, reliable performance even in demanding applications.
