Fogórész

Fogórész is a Hungarian term used in engineering and manufacturing to refer to the gripping portion of a device that is designed to seize and hold a workpiece. The word combines fogó (grip or clamp) with rész (part or section). In technical contexts it denotes components such as jaws, fingers, or other contact surfaces that interact directly with the object being handled.

The primary function of a fogórész is to secure, position, and manipulate objects during processing or assembly. It must provide adequate clamping force while minimizing damage to the workpiece. Fogórészek can be designed with soft jaws or interchangeable inserts to accommodate different geometries and materials, and may include sensors for force, position, or slip detection to enhance control and repeatability.

Design considerations for a fogórész include clamping force capability, range of motion, jaw geometry (flat, V-shaped, serrated, or customized), surface finish and hardness, wear resistance, and compatibility with actuation methods such as pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, or servo drives. Maintenance aspects often focus on wear parts, alignment, and ease of jaw replacement or reconfiguration. Material choice is guided by the application, with common options including hardened steel, carbide inserts, and polymer coatings for soft-contact applications.

Typical applications appear in automation and robotics, material handling, CNC workflows, and various gripping or clamping tools. The precise meaning of fogórész can vary by field, but it generally denotes the part of a device that physically grips and holds a workpiece.
