The Newton Subsea Gripper is a compact, electrically actuated manipulator designed for light-duty subsea handling tasks. It provides reliable gripping of small objects during inspection and intervention operations and is well-suited for use on compact subsea platforms and a wide range of ROV systems.
The gripper has jaws that open to grab objects up to 2.44″ or 6.2cm in diameter. The plastic jaws are mounted with custom aluminium screws to create a corrosion resistant mechanism that doesn’t need any lubrication.
The jaws are driven by a linear actuator that uses a geared brushed motor and lead screw. The main body is air-filled and sealed with O-rings. The gripper is rated to 300m depth with plenty of safety factor.
The jaws can be interchanged with a variety of other options, Wider jaws, 3 Jaw option, Sediment sampler and the RC-13 cutter.
