Pincers
- Excellent Maneuverability: The enhanced alignment tolerance enables smoother and more precise manipulation, even in setups with minor misalignment.
- Delicate and Flexible: Pincer jaws enable delicate manipulations in tight spaces.
- Seamless Integration: Can be used with all Ferrovac dual-shaft manipulators.
Why Choose Ferrovac Pincers?
Ferrovac pincers provide exceptional dexterity for delicate sample manipulation in confined vacuum spaces.
Designed for seamless integration with dual-shaft manipulators, these tools ensure precise handling of sample holders, like flag style sample plates, while compensating for alignment variances with a self-aligning grip.Pincer vs Grabber:
Pincers, used with dual-shaft manipulators and transporters, excel in applications requiring greater freedom of movement, off-angle approaches, or manipulation within confined spaces, such as loading/unloading sample parking spaces or handling samples in multi-destination preparation chambers.

Ferrovac pincers are available in various configurations to meet a wide range of applications.
- Sample Handling: Precise transportation of samples within the vacuum chamber.
- Flexible Loading: Reach multiple sample destinations with a single manipulator.
- Mechanical Actuation: Operating in-vacuum shutters, shields or flag screws.

Shaft:
Ferrovac Pincers are designed for use with Dual-Shaft Wobblesticks and Dual-Shaft Sample Transporters.
The most common application pairs the pincer with a dual-shaft wobblestick (Product Code: WMG40) for controlled sample manipulation.Pincer Jaws:
To accommodate diverse applications, multiple jaw configurations beyond the standard straight pincer jaws are available.
Options include longer jaws for extended reach and orthogonal jaw orientations for specialized tasks.Sample Holder Fit:
The standard clearance for flag-style sample holders in the pincer jaws is ±8° (Product Code: PGWMS(OM)). For applications requiring a firmer hold, an alternative hard grip fit (Product Code: PGWMS(OMH)) is available.
Options and Versions:
While most pincer designs are standardized, select models may be available in multiple versions tailored to specific research needs.
