PiezoGrip

High Force – Wide Opening – Precision Handling

Product Overview

The PiezoGrip is engineered to redefine what’s possible in precision gripping. By combining advanced piezoelectric actuation with flexure-based guidance, it delivers exceptionally high grip force and wide jaw travel in a compact, solid-state form factor. This unique architecture eliminates traditional mechanical components such as gears, bearings, and lubricated joints—removing common sources of wear, backlash, and particulate contamination.

The result is a gripper capable of ultrafast response times and nanometer-level precision, making it ideal for applications where speed and accuracy are critical. With no frictional contact or lubrication required, PiezoGrip ensures clean, maintenance-free operation, even in sensitive environments such as medical device manufacturing, life sciences, and semiconductor inspection.

Designed for seamless integration into advanced automation and inspection systems, PiezoGrip offers consistent, repeatable performance over millions of cycles. Whether handling delicate components or executing high-throughput tasks, it provides the reliability and control needed to meet the most demanding production and quality requirements.
