About the AirTAC HFZ
The AirTAC HFZ is a double-acting parallel gripper whose two jaws run on an integrated ball linear guide, for high rigidity and precision. Air drives the jaws both to close and to open, so it grips on either stroke. The same body also comes single acting as the HFTZ (normally open) and HFSZ (normally closed).
Locating pins under the guide keep it aligned with the body, and a locating hole in the body makes remounting accurate. It 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 HFZ Is Used
Pick and place
Picks small parts on assembly and transfer lines.
Precise gripping
The ball guide keeps the jaws square under offset loads.
Machine loading
Loads and unloads workpieces on presses and machine tools.
Choosing the Right HFZ Configuration
Choose the bore by the force per jaw at 0.5 MPa and a 20 mm gripping point (closing / opening): Ø6 3.3 / 6.1 N, Ø10 11 / 17 N, Ø16 34 / 45 N, Ø20 45 / 68 N, Ø25 69 / 102 N, Ø32 160 / 195 N, Ø40 255 / 320 N.
Jaw stroke (both sides): Ø6 3 mm, Ø10 4 mm, Ø16 6 mm, Ø20 10 mm, Ø25 14 mm, Ø32 22 mm, Ø40 30 mm.
Ø6 also comes with side mounting (B), through-hole (N) or bottom mounting (F) jaws; the other bores have the standard jaw.
AirTAC HFZ FAQ
The HFZ jaws run on a ball linear guide; the HFK uses a crossed-roller guide. Bores and forces are similar, so pick by guide type and mounting.
Every HFZ has a magnet. The round groove takes DMSH or EMSH on Ø6 (not CMSH) and CMSH, DMSH or EMSH on Ø10 and up; the square groove on Ø16 and up takes CMSG, DMSG or EMSG.
0.2 to 0.7 MPa on Ø6 and Ø10, 0.15 to 0.7 MPa on Ø16 to Ø40, -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.
