Electric mini gripster 24 x 9 cm, 200 kg

Overview

Electric mini gripster 24 x 9 cm, 200 kg: an electric gripster with a narrow, rectangular suction pad (240 x 90 mm). For around €95, the manufacturer quotes a load capacity of 200 kg. It is sold without a brand name of its own, like many vacuum grippers made in China.

Price and load capacity compared

Among the 51 narrow gripsters in this comparison, it is priced below the median of €95. At 200 kg, its load capacity is 100 kg above the typical value for this design (100 kg). That works out at 211 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 148 kg.

Drive and operation

The battery is built in. That saves weight and cost, but means a charging break when it runs flat. LEDs signal whether the vacuum is holding.

Seal and applications

The seal is made of foam. It adapts to grooves, textures and slight unevenness, but wears faster than rubber and should be available as a spare part. According to the data sheet it is suitable for windows, glass and tiles.
