Which type of robot claw should you pick?

Selection depends on payload, precision, and actuator type. We stock three common families: micro servo claws for small hobby robots, two-finger parallel grippers for light pick-and-place, and metal/mechanical claws for higher loads. Below is a quick spec comparison to guide you.

TypeTypical PayloadControlBest for
Micro servo clawup to 200 gPWM servoStudent projects, small robots
Two-finger gripper200 g - 2 kgServo / DC motorPrototyping, pick-and-place
Mechanical metal claw2 kg+Small gearmotor / servoRobust hobby builds, lightweight automation

Compatibility and specs to check

  • Actuator type: PWM servo (standard), digital servo, or motor-driven gearbox.
  • Mounting pattern and hole spacing to match your robot arm.
  • Operating voltage and current - confirm with your power supply or motor driver.
  • Grip width and finger material for the objects you handle.

Not sure which brands to consider? We stock many maker-friendly brands and components - browse all brands robot claw stockist to compare options commonly used by South African makers.

Basic wiring and control (example)

Most servo-driven claws use a 3-wire connection: signal, 5-6V supply, and ground. Below is a simple ASCII wiring diagram for a typical micro servo claw controlled from a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino or Raspberry Pi with a suitable PWM driver).

Microcontroller PWM Pin ----- Signal -----+
                                       |
               5V Supply --------------+--- Vcc (5V) on Servo
                                       |
Ground (GND) --------------------------+--- GND on Servo

If your robot arm uses higher-current motors, use a separate power rail and a motor driver to avoid overloading the controller. For a wider parts list, check related product categories in All Products robot claw in stock.
