Gecko
Gecko Gripper pads are made from a precision cast silicone or polyurethane film with a gecko
microstructure. Contact with sharp objects may damage the pad surface and impair function. The Gecko
Gripper performance is maximized when the pads are clean and dry. The pads can collect dust, so it is
best to use the Gecko Gripper in a clean environment and/or establish a routine cleaning schedule.
Replacing the Gripper Pads
Gecko Gripper pads are designed to last for 200,000-300,000 cycles under typical operating conditions. If
the pads do not seem to be gripping properly, even with routine cleaning (see table in the previous page),
we recommend fully replacing the gripper pads.
To replace the gripper pads, use the provided pad removal tool.
Step 1: Move gripper pads to the maximum extruded setting such that the pads are maximally
exposed/visible.
