The premium grippers
Designed for universal use
They are protected against corrosion and, with IP64, are ideally equipped to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. If this is not enough, the series offers protector versions and temperature-resistant versions that even have a protection class of IP67.
Maintenance free
Series GPP5000 and GPD5000 offer maintenance-free operation of up to 30 million cycles and thus stand for long-term use and maximum system uptime.
The value promise – Consistent and without fine print
While other manufacturers advertise a 36-month warranty, but exclude parts that come into contact with workpieces and wear parts, the Zimmer Group, with its uncompromising "Made in Germany" quality, promises a 24-month warranty for all its GPP and GPD5000 grippers. This applies to ALL PARTS without compromise, no matter how many cycles! With us, your system earns money 24/7.
Certifications
Quality and safety are fundamental elements of our corporate philosophy. Our regularly tested products not only meet the highest quality standards, but also guarantee long-term reliability and safety. This also applies to all series in the 5000 product family.
The accessories
If the operating conditions change, the conversion to protector variants can be done with just a few minor adjustments – efficiently, flexibly and without any new design work. Series GPP5000 and GPD5000 are compatible with a wide range of accessories. Special features include the adjustable jaws for tool-free adjustment of the gripping range, exchangeable jaws for quick jaw changes and the precise sensors. This reliably monitors the entire stroke range via IO-Link or with analog signals.
VERSATILE USAGE
PRECISE IN ALL PRODUCTION SITUATIONS
From highly automated manufacturing environments to standardized automotive production or flexible assembly processes – the gripper series GPP5000 and GPD5000 deliver impressive performance and adaptability across a wide range of industries.

FAQ – Grippers with Steel Linear Guide
The Steel Linear Guide is an extremely robust steel-on-steel profile slot guide that offers maximum precision and process reliability. This steel guide enables up to 30 million maintenance-free cycles and ensures long-lasting performance even under difficult industrial conditions.
Series 5000 is designed as a universal gripper and is suitable for applications in mechanical and plant engineering, the automotive industry, metal processing and for automated handling and assembly processes of all kinds. Thanks to its high robustness and IP64/67 protection classes, it is also suitable for demanding environments.
The gripper models include the 2-jaw parallel grippers of the pneumatic Series GPP5000 and the 3-jaw concentric grippers GPD5000 – each with Steel Linear Guide for maximum precision and reliability. In addition, there are the pneumatic-intelligent Series GPP5000IL and GPD5000IL, as well as the electric drive Series GEP5000 and GED5000.
The key benefits include:
- High gripping forces and torque absorption
- Maintenance-free over 30 million cycles
- Compatibility with the wide range of accessories from the 5000 family
- Robust sealing and corrosion protection
These features increase process reliability and are proven to reduce operating costs.
Use our Product Finder or get in touch with your personal contact. We can help you determine the right gripper based on the workpiece size, gripping forces, operating conditions and automation requirements.
Yes, in addition to the pneumatic versions, there are also electric or hybrid-controlled grippers that are suitable for applications with high automation requirements. The hybrid-controlled grippers from Series GPP5000IL and GPD5000IL feature an impressive integrated valve technology. The electric grippers in Series GEP5000 and GED5000 allow individual adjustment of the gripping forces. Both variants have integrated sensor technology.
