INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: SB/SBZ series of swivel jaws
3. Function
The swivel jaws of the SB/SBZ series are designed for picking up, transporting and positioning workpieces. The installation options
have been designed so that the swivel jaws can be installed on grippers from Zimmer GmbH. The SB/SBZ series swivel jaws dier
in the mechanics of how force is transmitted and in how the drive works. The SB series is driven by a double-acting pneumatic rotary
cylinder. The force is transmitted to the output shaft by a toothed belt. The SBZ series is driven by a double-acting linear pneumatic
cylinder. The force is transmitted to the output shaft by a gear train. The rotational movement is limited by mechanical limit stops. The
line of accessories includes corresponding sensors for position sensing.
