Electric Gripper: Used to pick up objects
Introduction
PGE series are industrial thin parallel electric grippers, and the numbers represent the maximum clamping force of the grippers. The gripper is equipped with a pair of parallel fingertips, which run symmetrically during the movement. The main structure of the gripper is a smooth rectangular structure, which is small in size and saves installation space. It has 5 mounting holes to meet different installation conditions of the equipment.
Quick response, high grabbing frequency, and equipped with an 8-core communication interface, mainly to achieve clamping or stuck objects, suitable for relatively light objects.
working principle
- The motor drives the rack and pinion and the cross roller guide to realize the opening or closing action of the gripper. The positioning point of the electric gripper is controllable and the clamping is controllable.
Applicable object
The volume is smaller than the clamping stroke
The weight is less than the maximum clamping weight
Custom fingertips can expand more items

Align the screws with the four screw holes on the end of the robot arm and tighten:
Insert the motorised jaws into the fixture and tighten with fine screws on both sides, eight in total:
Electrical connections:
Plug the 485 cable into the robot arm control connector:
Instructions for use:
- M5 version:
from pymycobot.mycobot import MyCobot
import time
# Initialise a MyCobot object
mc = MyCobot("COM3", 115200)
# Allows you to control the jaws to open and close and open:
mc.set_eletric_gripper(0)
time.sleep(3)
mc.set_eletric_gripper(1)
time.sleep(3)
mc.set_eletric_gripper(0)
time.sleep(3)
- Pi version:
from pymycobot.mycobot import MyCobot
from pymycobot import PI_PORT, PI_BAUD # When using the Raspberry Pi version of mycobot, you can reference these two variables for MyCobot initialisation
import time
# Initialise a MyCobot object
mc = MyCobot(PI_PORT, PI_BAUD)
# Allows you to control the jaws to open and close and open:
mc.set_eletric_gripper(0)
time.sleep(3)
mc.set_eletric_gripper(1)
time.sleep(3)
mc.set_eletric_gripper(0)
