Adjusting the Gripper Brake (for Grippers with Brake)
Tools Required:
5. 1.3mm hex driver
6. 5.5mm open end wrench
7. Loctite 222
Spare Parts Required: none
To adjust the gripper brake the user must:
4. Remove the Gripper Cover by removing 6 M2 X 6mm FHCS.
5. Energize the brake to activate the solenoid to release the brake.
6. Check the clearance between the brake shoe and the finger mount brake surface. This clearance
should be between .1mm (.004in) and .25mm (.010in), and the gripper fingers should slide freely.
7. If necessary, use a 5.5mm open end wrench to adjust the M3 X 6mm hex head screw that adjusts
the brake backlash. This screw should be backed out 2mm, Loctite 222 applied to the screw
threads, and then screwed back in to the brake lever to set the brake clearance.
8. Make sure the brake pad is held up in the brake notch in the gripper wall and engage the brake.
9. Replace the cover.
