Zimmer Group supplier in Romania
Grippers, shock absorbers and clamping modules for automation
Founded in 1980 · Headquarters: Germany
Who is Zimmer Group and what does it make?
Zimmer Group is a German manufacturer of grippers, clamping modules and damping technology for industrial automation, with its first products made in 1980 and more than 1,300 employees today. The handling range covers parallel two-jaw grippers (series GEH6000IL, GPP5000, GH6000, GEP2000, REP2000) and centric three-jaw grippers (GED6000IL, GPD5000, GD, GD300, MGD800). The company describes itself as present in more than 125 countries through its sales network and active in 20 technology fields.
What sets Zimmer Group apart from other automation component makers is the combination of grippers, industrial shock absorbers and clamping modules under one brand: the PowerStop series (Mini, Standard, Adjustable and High Energy variants) for absorbing impact on robots and linear axes, and the BasicStop series (axial and radial) for basic damping. The clamping and braking modules (DKPS1000, MKS, MiniHK, UBPS, RBPS, CBPS) complete the range for fixing and locking axes in handling applications.
For Romania, the Zimmer Group range makes sense for integrators of automation lines and industrial robots who need either a standard gripper or a shock absorber sized for the impact energy of the application.
What do we supply from the Zimmer Group range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Parallel Grippers Series GEP2000 / GPP5000 / GH6000 / GEH6000IL | Two-jaw grippers for holding parts in handling and assembly applications. The customer must confirm the required gripping force and the jaw stroke. |
| Centric Grippers Series GD / GD300 / GPD5000 / GED6000IL / MGD800 | Three-jaw grippers with automatic part centring, for applications where repeatable positioning matters. The part diameter and the gripping force must be confirmed. |
| PowerStop Shock Absorbers (Mini, Standard, Adjustable, High Energy) | Industrial shock absorbers for reducing impact on linear axes and robots, in Mini, Standard, Adjustable and High Energy variants. The choice depends on the moving mass and the impact speed. |
| Clamping Modules Series DKPS1000 / MKS / RBPS / CBPS | Modules for fixing and braking linear axes (series MKS, RBPS, CBPS) and rotary axes (DKPS1000) in working positions, used where an axis must be mechanically locked during processing. |

How do we supply Zimmer Group in Romania?
We supply Zimmer Group grippers, shock absorbers and clamping modules to order, through supply channels in the European Union, usually in 1–4 weeks depending on code confirmation with the manufacturer. We rely on Zimmer Group documentation to identify the right series; availability and lead time are confirmed in the quotation. For a correct quotation we need the required gripping force or damping energy, the stroke or the diameter of the handled part, and the type of mounting on the robot or axis. The availability of each code in the range is checked individually with the manufacturer, and no availability is promised before the code is checked.
The availability of each specific Zimmer Group code is checked when the quotation is prepared; configuring the grippers' own control software is outside our scope.
Frequently asked questions about Zimmer Group
What does Zimmer Group make?
Zimmer Group makes parallel and centric grippers (pneumatic and electric), industrial shock absorbers from the PowerStop and BasicStop families, and clamping and braking modules for linear axes, intended for industrial automation — handling, assembly and packaging on robotic lines.
How do I choose the right Zimmer Group gripper for my application?
The main difference is the number of jaws: parallel grippers (GEP2000, GPP5000, GH6000) have two jaws, while centric ones (GD, GD300, GPD5000, MGD800) have three jaws and centre the part automatically. Please send us the required gripping force and the diameter or size of the part so we can identify the correct code.
What is the difference between the PowerStop and BasicStop series from Zimmer Group?
PowerStop includes the Mini, Standard, Adjustable and High Energy variants, while BasicStop is the basic range, available in axial and radial variants. The choice depends on the moving mass and the impact speed of the application.
Can you supply Zimmer Group grippers in Romania, and in what time?
Yes, we bring them in to order through supply channels in the European Union, usually in 1–4 weeks depending on code confirmation with the manufacturer. We do not keep Zimmer Group grippers or shock absorbers on the shelf; they are ordered per request.
How do I request a Zimmer Group quotation?
Send the Zimmer Group code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
