Classic 6 Centric SoftGripper
SKU
SG-C-F6-160
Six silicone fingers close concentrically using compressed air, providing stable radial grip and distributed contact for fragile or cylindrical parts.
Sample image only. Product may differ
The Six-Finger Centric SoftGripper from SoftGripping is a pneumatically actuated soft robotic gripper with six symmetrically arranged silicone fingers that close concentrically toward the center. This centric motion enables uniform radial force distribution and improved part stability when handling fragile, deformable, or irregularly shaped objects.
With six compliant contact points, the gripper increases grip redundancy compared to three-finger variants while maintaining gentle surface interaction. The fully silicone gripping structure contains no rigid mechanical joints at the contact interface, supporting adaptive form-fit gripping.

Typical Objects for Six-Finger Centric Version
The Six-Finger Centric version is designed for spherical or cylindrical objects within a 5 mm – 120 mm feed size range and up to 1200 g. Typical examples include dough balls, rolls, peppers, oranges, cabbage, doughnuts, meat medallions, and similarly shaped packaged or consumer goods that benefit from radial enclosure and multi-point contact stability.
Best Fit Applications
- Food and beverage automation handling larger or heavier delicate products
- Hygienic production environments requiring extended multi-point contact
- Pick-and-place of spherical or cylindrical objects
- Applications requiring increased lateral stability for mid-range payloads
- Cobot-based automation cells transferring products up to 1200 g
For applications requiring radial enclosure and automatic centering with fewer contact points, reference the Four-Finger Centric SoftGripper. For smaller objects or lower payload requirements, reference the Four-Finger Parallel SoftGripper.
