KVG-12 Electric Gripper — 32mm Narrow Body, 0.2s Stroke, 30N

The KVG-12 is a narrow-body two-finger parallel electric gripper built for tight spaces and delicate workpieces. With a body just 32 mm wide and 0.2 s one-way stroke, it grips fast where standard grippers cannot reach. It delivers 12 mm stroke, 30 N gripping force and ±0.02 mm repeatability, handling workpieces up to 0.5 kg. The controller is built into the body — no external cabinet, no compressed air supply required.

Key Features of the KVG-12 Electric Gripper

0.2 s One-Way Stroke

Full open-to-close in 0.2 s — one of the fastest in its class, shortening cycle time on high-speed pick-and-place lines.

32 mm Narrow Body

The thinnest section is only 32 mm — reaches into confined fixtures and dense workcells that bulkier grippers cannot access.

Flexible Gripping for Fragile Items

Soft, controlled closing handles deformable and breakable workpieces — test tubes, eggs, glassware, soft packaging — without crushing.

Built-In Controller

Drive and controller integrated in the gripper body. No external cabinet, no extra cost, minimal wiring.

Digital I/O Control

Simple input/output signalling — integrates with most collaborative robots, industrial controllers and PLC systems.

No Compressed Air Required

Fully electric — replaces compressor, filter, solenoid valve and pneumatic gripper. Ideal for labs, hospitals and clean environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the stroke adjustable?

No. The KVG-12 has a fixed 12 mm total stroke (6 mm per jaw). If you need adjustable stroke, see our KVG-20, which offers 20 mm adjustable stroke.

Is the gripping force adjustable?

No. The KVG-12 delivers a fixed 30 N gripping force. For adjustable force, see our KVG-20S Ultra, which offers 4-level adjustment from 8 to 20 N.

What is the difference between KVG-12, KVG-20 and KVG-20S Ultra?

The KVG-12 is the fastest (0.2 s) with a 32 mm narrow body and 30 N force. The KVG-20 delivers the highest force (30–80 N) with adjustable stroke. The KVG-20S Ultra is the smallest and most precise, with 4-level adjustable force. Choose by priority: speed and narrow access → KVG-12; force and stroke flexibility → KVG-20; compact size and adjustable force → KVG-20S Ultra.

Does it require compressed air?

No. It is fully electric — no compressor, filter or solenoid valve needed.

Is the controller included?

Yes, the drive controller is built into the gripper. No extra charge.

Are fingertips included?

The gripper ships with standard fingers. The fingertip section is replaceable — you can machine custom fingertips to match your specific workpiece.

Is it waterproof?

No. The KVG-12 is rated IP40 — suitable for standard industrial and laboratory environments, but not for washdown or outdoor use.
