The gripper comprising two finger assemblies 132, 146 and a ball screw assembly 134 comprising a ball screw nut 136 connected to the first finger assembly and a ball screw shaft 138 comprising a first section upon which the first ball screw nut is movably mounted. An actuator 154 is directly connected to the ball screw shaft and configured to rotate the ball screw shaft about its longitudinal axis to move the first finger assembly in a direction of the second finger assembly when the ball screw shaft is rotated in one of a clockwise or anticlockwise direction and to move the first finger assembly in a direction away from the second finger assembly when the ball screw shaft is rotated in the other of the clockwise or anticlockwise directions. The gripper assembly may further comprise one or more guide rails 156, a first carriage assembly 160 moveable mounted to the one or more guide rails, and a first support assembly 133 configured to connect the first ball screw nut and the first finger assembly to the carriage.
