Circular Tube Systems

TÜNKERS® Circular Tube System

The force-closed TÜNKERS® circular tube system utilises, from a technical point of view, the optimal moment of inertia of tubes and achieves an optimal relation between low weight, high rigidity and minimal vibration as opposed to square-shaped forms.

Frame Elements

Gripper systems have a standard base plate or a customised bracket which is equipped with a hole pattern for connection to the robot flange. Onto this bracket the tubes are mounted which in turn are interconnected via cross clips.

Tubes

The high-precision circular tubes are available in the diameters 60 mm, 40 mm and 25 mm. Aluminium can be used for nearly all applications, whereas carbon is mostly used for weight optimisation, and steel tubes are used for applications with extreme demands on rigidity.

Our Products
We offer shims in various dimensions suitable for our pneumatic clamps for the adjustment of contour blocks.
Our range of standard brackets offers you high flexibility as to mounting options of contour blocks, clamps or retractable locating pin cylinders. The different sizes with standard hole patterns rende
The GAQ series offers you components with which retractable locating pin cylinders, clamps or adjustment brackets can be connected to size 25 tubes.
The adjustment brackets of the GAW series offer you the possibility to mount centring pins in various positions and to fix them to the standard hole patterns.
The GAZ centring pin adapters are available for different centring pin diameters and are adjustable in 2 axes in combination with the GAW adjustment brackets.
The GKC cross clips made of carbon material can be used as an alternative to the GSK aluminium clips, when the robotic limit of performance as to weight is reached. Naturally, they also serve the purp
The flange adapters of the GNFA series help you realise the connection of your basic frame construction of our aluminium or carbon tubes to the base plate.
The compact steel cross clips of the GNKS series allow for any desired connection of GR 25 and GR 40 tubes and are ideal for light to medium loads.
The adapters for proximity switches of the GNN series are available in open and closed design and offer flexible connection of your position sensors in combination with a GNXK 19-25 cross clip.
The compact steel cross clips of the GNKS series allow for any desired connection of tubes 25, 40 or 60 mm in diameter and are ideal for low loads such as vacuum exhausters or proximity switches.
The high-precision aluminium circular tubes are available in the diameters 60, 40 and 25 mm and can be used for nearly all applications. In addition, we offer our GRC carbon tube for weight optimisati

The cross clips of the GSK series of high-strength aluminium alloy allow for the expansion of your basic frame with additional circular tube elements. The GSK series is identical in construction to th
The GTS T-connectors are a combination of high-strength aluminium with a fixed clamp for the standard diameters of the TÜNKERS circular tube system.
The KNST connectors form part of the KSKP connection module for mounting of module plates VEP or MPV for valve plates and interbus units.
The KSKP connection module is a complete system including bolts for the mounting of module plates VEP or MPV for valve terminals and interbus units.
The assembly plates of the MPV series have pre-defined hole patterns for the installation of up to 7 pneumatic valves.
The product is currently being updated and will soon be available again.
The valve plates of the VEP series are already equipped with pre-defined hole patterns corresponding to our standard valve terminals. We also manufacture customised valve plates.
In connection with the cross clip GNXK 25-19, the angled VH holder for vacuum exhausters can be combined as needed with a vacuum exhauster of the GSA… series.
