What to do if my SCHUNK Industrial Equipment does not move?

  Don SanchezJul 28, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment isn't moving, several factors could be at play. Start by verifying the evenness of the mounting surface, as unevenness can cause the base jaws to jam. Ensure that the air supply meets the minimum pressure requirements. Check the compressed air lines to confirm they are correctly connected. Examine the proximity switch for defects or incorrect settings, and readjust or replace the sensor if necessary. Close any unused air connections. Make sure the flow control valve is open. If none of these steps resolve the issue, a component part may be defective, requiring replacement or repair by SCHUNK.

  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment isn't completing its full stroke, several issues could be responsible. Begin by checking the air supply to ensure that the pressure isn't dropping below the minimum requirement. Inspect the mounting surface to confirm it is sufficiently flat. Dirt deposits between the cover and piston, or between the basic jaws and guidance, can impede movement, so clean and re-lubricate or disassemble and clean the product. If these steps don't solve the problem, a component part may be defective, requiring replacement or repair by SCHUNK.

  Brandon MclaughlinAug 16, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment opens or closes abruptly, several factors could be the cause. Start by ensuring the mechanical guiding areas have enough grease; clean and lubricate the product if needed. Check the compressed air lines for any blockages or damage. Verify that the mounting surface is sufficiently flat. Ensure a one-way flow control valve is installed and correctly adjusted. Lastly, confirm that the load isn't too large by checking the permissible weight and length of the gripper fingers.
