Description
The Newton Gripper allows the BlueROV2 and other subsea vehicles to interact with the subsea environment to retrieve objects, attach recovery lines, or free a snagged tether! It includes everything needed for installation on the BlueROV2.
The gripper has jaws that open to grab objects up to 2.44″ or 6.2cm in diameter. The plastic jaws are mounted with custom aluminium screws to create a corrosion-resistant mechanism that doesn’t need any lubrication. The jaws are driven by a linear actuator that uses a geared brushed motor and lead screw. The main body is air-filled and sealed with O-rings. We’ve spent a lot of time testing it at pressure, and it’s rated at 300m depth, with plenty of safety factors.
The gripper has everything needed to use it on the BlueROV2, including an anodized aluminium mount that uses a thumbscrew for quick retraction and rotation in the field. The mount attaches with two included M5 screws.
