Tack strip being removed from a floor. Tack strip also known as gripper rod, carpet gripper, Smoothedge tackless strip, gripper strip or gripper edge is a thin piece of wood, between 1 and 2 metres (3.3 and 6.6 ft) long and about 3 centimetres (1.2 in) wide, studded with hundreds of sharp nails or tacks used in the installation of carpet.
This is the cause of a net force on the object in the direction normal to the side with higher local pressure. A Bernoulli gripper takes advantage of this by maintaining this negative pressure at the gripper face compared to the ambient pressure below the sample, while maintaining an air gap between the gripper and the object being held.
A 36 in (910 mm) reach extender with a secondary trigger and a pole that can be rotated 90 degrees. A reach extender (or reacher, grabber arm, helping hand, trash picker, picker-upper, extended gripper, long arm gripper, extended reach grabber, grabber tool, litter picker, or caliper) is a handheld mechanical tool used to increase the range of a person's reach and grasp when grabbing objects.
By 1992, IronMind had moved all design and production of its grippers in-house. [14] The next generation of the Silver Crush Grippers, released in 1993, marked the next major step in gripper evolution; their stainless-steel handles replaced the previous chrome-plated mild steel handles, and a new assembly technique eliminated the drift pin central to the design of the older grippers.

A "carpet gripper" tack strip, for a fitted carpet. The introduction of tack strip, "tackless strip", "gripper strip", or "Smoothedge" simplified the installation of wall-to-wall carpeting, increasing the neatness of the finish at the wall. Because gripper strips are essentially the same thickness as underlay, using gripper strips yields a ...
Bernoulli grippers exploit the airflow between the gripper and the part, in which a lifting force brings the gripper and part close each other (using Bernoulli's principle). Bernoulli grippers are a type of contactless grippers; the object remains confined in the force field generated by the gripper without coming into direct contact with it.
A mass market, plastic-handled gripper A gripper being closed. Grippers, sometimes called hand grippers, are primarily used for testing and increasing the strength of the hands; this specific form of grip strength has been called crushing grip, [1] which has been defined as meaning the prime movers are the four fingers, rather than the thumb.
A pneumatic gripper is a specific type of pneumatic actuator that typically involves either parallel or angular motion of surfaces, A.K.A. “tooling jaws or fingers” that will grip an object. The gripper makes use of compressed air which powers a piston rod inside the tool.Grippers exist both internal with and external bore grip with the ...
