About

About GCKW Electric Actuator 3-Finger Gripper

GCKW is CKD's three-finger electric gripper family for centring and holding round or irregular workpieces. GCKW-16 provides 7 newtons of gripping force and 4 millimetres of stroke per finger; GCKW-20 provides 16 newtons and 4 millimetres; GCKW-25 provides 29 newtons and 6 millimetres.

The three synchronised fingers close toward a common centre, simplifying workpiece alignment during handling and inspection. The compact electric mechanism supports programmable motion and force without a pneumatic supply, with model selection determining the available opening range and grip force.
