What are the different couplings and cables available for UR robot ?
Overview of Robotiq couplings for UR robots and guidance on replacement cables
Context
This article helps Robotiq users identify the right coupling model used with their Universal Robots (UR) and select the appropriate replacement cable. Knowing your coupling and cable combination helps reduce downtime and avoid unnecessary full coupling replacements.
Information
Robotiq offers five coupling models designed to work with UR robots. Four of these allow for individual cable replacement, while one requires full coupling replacement if damaged.
Coupling Model | Robot Series & Connection Type | Replacement Cable |
---|---|---|
GRP‑ES‑CPL‑077 | e‑Series (newer, female wrist) | CBL‑COM‑2077 |
GRP‑ES‑CPL‑062 | e‑Series (older, male wrist) | CBL‑COM‑2072 |
GRP‑CPL‑062 | CB & e‑Series (newer, controller, thicker) | CBL‑COM‑2070‑01 |
AGC‑CPL‑062‑002 | CB & e‑Series (older, controller) | CBL‑COM‑2066 |
IO‑CPL‑UR‑CB‑KIT | CB Series (I/O coupling, wrist-mounted) | Not available |
GRP-ES-CPL-077: e‑Series (newer, connected to a female wrist)
GRP-ES-CPL-062: e‑Series (older, connected to a male wrist)
GRP-CPL-062: CB & e‑Series (newer version, connected to the controller, thicker)
AGC-CPL-062-002: CB & e‑Series (older version, connected to the controller)
IO-CPL-UR-CB-KIT: CB Series (I/O coupling, connected to the wrist)
Additional Notes
-
If you need to replace a cable, using the correct part number ensures compatibility.
-
For the IO‑CPL‑UR‑CB‑KIT, the cable is integrated and not serviceable. If damaged, the entire coupling must be replaced.
-
For any uncertainty about your coupling model or required cable, please contact Robotiq Support with:

Conclusion
Identifying your coupling and ordering the correct replacement cable can save time and cost. For models that support it, cable-only replacement is the preferred solution. Reach out to our Support team with part details or photos if you’re unsure.
