Zusammenfassung:A gripper has a pair of jaws (12) pivoted together about a pin 14 and adjustable by rotation of a rod (40) threadedly engaged in bushes (48) received in the jaws. Assembly of the gripper is simplified by the gripper housing having a base (36) with a groove to guide the pivot pin, a first support plate (100) carrying a bearing (105) for one end of the rod (40) and mounting a drive motor (52), and a second plate (112) carrying the bearing (106) for the other end of the rod (40) and displaceable for adjusting the mesh between gears (54,56) fast with the drive shaft and rod (40), the bearings being self-aligning and permitting axial displacement of the rod therein.
