CSFR G2 150: the universal gripper to handle all types of loads
The bionic universal gripper CSFR G2 150 from Carl Stahl represents an innovative solution compared to conventional grippers for vertical lifting, transporting, and lowering of unguided loads.
As a special load handling attachment, the CSFR G2 150 offers flexibility for adaptive and gentle gripping. The transformation of the biomechanical fin ray effect into a technical gripper ensures high adaptability for gripping loads of different shapes and diameters. The form-fit connection between the load and the gripper, where only the internal fabric strap comes into contact with the load, ensures a gentle and careful hold and prevents damage. Additionally, the gripper's functional principle offers the benefits of efficiently storing loads in a space-saving manner.
Practical applications for the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper
As a two-arm universal gripper, the CSFR G2 150 is used for lifting cylindrical or rectangular objects such as pipes, steel beams, and girders. Unlike conventional grippers, the CSFR G2 150 can also gently handle irregularly or inconsistently shaped loads. Thanks to its space-saving design, it is also ideal for use in confined spaces.
The CSFR G2 150 universal gripper is operated manually. The attached star knob enables closing the gripper jaws, while the corresponding lever releases the fixation and opens the gripper. An included pressure holder ensures a three-point grip for tilt-stable loads and increases the gripping range for small load shapes.
The Finray design from Carl Stahl
The bionic functionality of the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper, based on the fin ray effect, is patent pending. This is crucial for lifting delicate or variously shaped loads, which is especially important in complex lifting scenarios. The CSFR G2 150 was developed based on a bionic model and offers a highly innovative, efficient, and safe method for handling variable load geometries with just one single gripping tool.
What makes the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper stand out
- Versatility: The CSFR G2 150 easily adapts to a wide range of round and angular load geometries, ensuring full-surface form fit and safe handling.
- Gentle gripping experience: The CSFR G2 150 enables a gentle gripping process that avoids damage to the load through even, low contact pressure.
- Narrow gripping space: The functional principle of the CSFR G2 150 allows handling of loads in narrow gaps, which promotes efficient and space-saving storage.
- Innovative construction: The patented design uses the bionic principle of the fin ray effect, which can be found in the structural makeup of a fish fin. Additionally, the CSFR G2 150 is 95% recyclable.
- Maximum efficiency: The innovative design not only offers a unique combination of benefits but also exceeds the performance limits of standard grippers of the same size.

FAQ
Who is the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper suitable for?
In general, the CSFR G2 150 is especially suitable when various load geometries are to be handled with a single gripper, and at the same time particularly gentle handling of the loads is required.
How does the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper differ from conventional grippers?
With a unique combination of features, which are otherwise only found sporadically in gripper systems or in special developments, the CSFR G2 150 enables demanding handling applications.
How should the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper be properly maintained and inspected?
All tongs and grippers must be inspected for visual condition and functionality at least once a year by a qualified person assigned in writing according to DIN EN 13155. This inspection must be documented in writing and may only be maintained by manufacturers and specifically qualified personnel.
What safety measures should be observed when using the CSFR G2 150 universal gripper?
The CSFR G2 150 can safely handle loads with a net weight between 20-150 kg when all safety guidelines and instructions are followed. In addition, the use of the supplied pressure holder is generally recommended as it offers fixation and stabilization for small and medium-sized load geometries that tend to tilt.
