The finger cylinder is also called a double-gripper cylinder; it adds a method and effect to its original function, but its main role is to enable various gripping functions and it is an important component of modern pneumatic manipulators. The finger cylinder has the following features:

1. All structures are double-acting, enabling bidirectional gripping, automatic centering, and high repeatability;

2. Stable gripping torque;

3. The magnetic-coupling rodless cylinder allows a non-contact stroke detection limit switch to be mounted on both sides of the cylinder;

4. Various mounting interfaces are available;

5. Reduced air consumption.

There are three common methods for the air finger cylinder:

1. For a swing-type finger cylinder, there is a transverse pin on the crossbar of the hydraulic cylinder; because the finger shaft is connected to the transverse pin, the finger can move and self-center completely automatically, maintaining stability from start to finish.

2. A miniature finger cylinder rotates the finger cylinder in essentially the same way as a rack engagement. The finger contacts a transmission device that accelerates it and pushes the finger into rotation. The two fingers can rotate additionally and self-center completely automatically, ensuring stable gripping torque from beginning to end.

3. As shown, this is a parallel-surface finger cylinder; there is a transverse pin on the cylinder block, connected to the transverse pin, enabling the parallel surfaces of the fingers to move. Two pull forks are connected to the same transverse pin, ensuring re-positioning and automatic centering.
