The gripper comprises a housing (1), an actuator (2), a thread clamp (3) and a connecting section (11) for a gripper band. The actuator can be operated electrically and controlled via induction coils (71) in such a way that the clamping force and the clamping cycle of the thread clamp are adjusted in accordance with the physical and/or textile data of the weft to be inserted.
