servo-gripper

Is an electric robot gripper always a servo gripper?

Electric grippers or servo grippers are most of the time used as synonymous. Are they really the same thing? An electric gripper simply means that the power provided to its actuator is electricity. Electric is used to differentiate it from pneumatic, which is still the most widely used in the vast majority of industrial applications to power robotic grippers.
