Sommer Automatic GP408XNC-C 2-Jaw Parallel Gripper

The GP408XNC-C is a compact, 2‑jaw parallel gripper from the GP400X family, engineered for precise, repeatable handling of small parts in automated workflows. It uses a wedge‑hook mechanism to synchronize jaw movement for true parallel closing, housed in a robust, lightweight hard‑coated aluminum body. A sensing slot and an integrated permanent magnet provide direct piston position feedback when paired with optional magnetic sensors, simplifying setup and monitoring. The unit supports mounting and energy supply from multiple sides, and includes a KB8K mounting block with the delivery. Optional jaw and protection accessories are compatible, including UB408 aluminum jaws, UB408ST steel jaws, and PR408‑B dust protection, along with compatible plug‑in sensors and energy‑supply fittings. Typical applications include pick‑and‑place, small‑part assembly, and general automation tasks requiring reliable, parallel gripping with repeatable stroke and force characteristics.
