SSG-48 adaptive electric gripper is a gripper based on Spectral micro BLDC drivers. It is a gripper capable of controlling its gripping force, making it perfect for assembly tasks and human-robot collaboration. Force can be adjusted from 5 N to 80 N allowing you to grasp a wide range of items; from delicate and soft to rigid and sturdy.
Mechanical files and firmware are open source allowing you to add a custom griping tool and attach it to any robotic arm or robot. Gripper software is also open-source. Gripper has a stroke of 48 mm and a mass of 400g.
