The G6 Aluminum Robotic Gripper with MG996R Servo is a durable mechanical gripping solution designed for robotic arms, pick-and-place systems, educational robots, and DIY automation projects.

The gripper is manufactured from hard aluminum alloy for a strong yet lightweight construction. Its double-sided toothed jaws help improve grip and reduce object slippage during lifting and manipulation.

The kit includes an MG996R high-torque metal gear servo, providing the mechanical force required to open and close the gripper. The servo can be controlled using Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms with an appropriate power supply and control signal.

Power and Control Note

The MG996R servo should be powered from a suitable external power supply capable of providing sufficient current, especially when the gripper is under load. Avoid powering the servo directly from a microcontroller's 5V output when the available current is insufficient.

The servo control signal can be connected to a PWM-capable GPIO pin on a compatible microcontroller while maintaining a common ground between the servo power supply and controller.
