Mounting Elements

Schmalz offers a wide range of mounting elements which permit many alternative ways of integrating suction pads and grippers to form a gripper system.

The mounting elements are divided into the following groups:

• Flexible mountings
• Spring plungers
• Holders and adapters
• Sections, cross-beams and connectors
