NKE CHP236-B-60 refers to a specific model of pneumatic air gripper (also known as an air chuck) manufactured by NKE Corporation, a Japanese company specializing in automation and factory equipment components. This is a parallel angular type pneumatic gripper designed for industrial automation applications, such as robotic arms, assembly lines, and material handling systems. It uses compressed air to open and close jaws for gripping workpieces precisely. It belongs to the CHP23x series, which offers compact designs with large gripping force and stroke, and is listed in NKE’s product catalogs alongside similar models like CHP233-B-30 and CHP235-A-100.
Key Specifications
