About the AirTAC HFSK
The AirTAC HFSK is a parallel pneumatic gripper whose two jaws run on an integrated crossed-roller linear guide, giving high rigidity, precision and load capacity. It is single acting, normally closed: with no air the spring keeps the jaws closed, and air opens them. The catalog rates its air-driven opening force. Jaw stroke is 4 to 30 mm (both sides) across Ø10 to Ø40 mm bores.
Locating pins under the guide keep it aligned with the body, and a locating hole in the body makes repeat mounting accurate. The body mounts from the side, the front (tapped or through holes) or the rear. Every version has a magnet, with round and square sensor grooves on the body so sensors fit without brackets.

Where the HFSK Is Used
Pick and place
Picks parts on assembly and transfer lines.
Machine loading
Loads and unloads workpieces on presses and machine tools.
Holds on air loss
The spring keeps the jaws closed if the air supply drops.
Choosing the Right HFSK Configuration
Choose the bore by the opening force you need at 0.5 MPa (see the specifications; forces are for one jaw at gripping distance L = 20 mm as defined in the catalog). A longer gripping distance lowers the usable force.
Then the jaw type, which sets how your fingers attach: standard (no code), B side mounting, N through-hole mounting, F bottom mounting. The wide-jaw versions R (standard), W (side mounting) and M (through-hole) come in Ø10 to Ø25 only.
For other actions see the HFK and HFTK pages. For a longer jaw stroke, see the HFKL long-stroke series.
AirTAC HFSK FAQ
The HFSK is single acting, normally closed; the HFK is double acting; the HFTK is single acting, normally open. Otherwise they share the same bores and jaw types.
Blank is the standard jaw, B side mounting, N through-hole mounting, F bottom mounting; R, W and M are the wide-jaw versions of standard, side and through-hole mounting (Ø10 to Ø25).
Every version has a built-in magnet. Sensors are ordered separately: CMSH, DMSH or EMSH for the round groove on all bores, and CMSG, DMSG or EMSG for the square groove on Ø16 and up.
0.35-0.7 MPa on Ø10, 0.25-0.7 MPa on Ø16 and up, -20 to +70 °C, on air filtered to 40 µm. No lubrication is needed.
No. You can order a single piece. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
