  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment gripper isn't moving, start by checking the air supply. Specifically, ensure that the pressure hasn't dropped below the minimum level, the air lines are correctly connected, the proximity switches are functioning and properly set, any unnecessary air connections are sealed, there's sufficient evenness of the attachment face, and the cylinder piston isn't fractured due to overload.

  To address a SCHUNK Industrial Equipment gripper that isn't completing its stroke, ensure that the gripper is clean, removing any dirt from between the cover plate and the chuck piston, and between the base jaw and the guide. Also, verify that the pressure hasn't dropped below the minimum level and that the cylinder piston magnet is properly in place. Finally, ensure there's sufficient evenness of the attachment face.

  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't moving, there are several potential solutions: * Ensure the bolting surface is level. * Loosen the gripper's mounting screws and reactuate the gripper. * Check the air supply and compressed air lines. * Repair the proximity switch. * Close any unused air connections. * Open the choke valve. If these steps don't resolve the issue, and the module was used within specified parameters, consider replacing the component or sending it to SCHUNK for repair. You may also want to check the application using the calculation program for gripping modules (SSG).

Why SCHUNK PZN-plus module does not travel through the entire stroke?
- M
  Michael WilliamsAug 22, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't traveling through its entire stroke, it could be due to a few reasons: * Dirt deposits between the cover and the piston: Remove the cover, clean the module, and relubricate it. * Dirt deposits between the base jaws and the guide: Disassemble and clean the module. * Pressure dropping below minimum: Check the air supply to ensure adequate pressure.
