gripping and clamping magnetic drive to move a finger device.

Gripper device or clamp (10, 100, 200), with a base body (12), with at least one finger (14) movable relative to the base body (12) and with a drive for moving the finger (14 ), comprising actuating at least one actuating magnet (20, 55, 70) forming two poles (24, 26; 50, 52; 74, 76) on the finger or on the base body, respectively, wherein drive comprises at least two counter elements (32, 34, 44, 46) ferromagnetic in the base body or finger, respectively, which cooperate with the poles (24, 26; 50, 52; 74, 76) of the magnet control (20, 55, 70) such that movement of the finger (14) during a change of the polarization of the poles of the actuating magnet (20, 55, 70) a counter is attracted by one pole (24, 50, 74 or 26, 52, 76) and simultaneously another counter element is repelled by the other pole (26, 52, 76 or 24, 50, 74).
