This gripper for small machine manipulators opens and closes absolutely quiet and very slowly.   Instead of inductive forces it is based on a phase change in the crystalline structure of its titanium alloy.  It does not produce electrical noise like motors or solenoids.

The gripper opens when energized and closes when switched off.  It runs on  0.8 V @ 4 A.
