Festo DHPC Overview
The Festo DHPC is a pneumatic two-jaw parallel gripper with a ball-guided lever mechanism, built in sizes 6 to 40 with a stroke of 2 mm to 15 mm per jaw. At 6 bar it produces a closing force of 5.5 N to 358.6 N per jaw with a repetition accuracy of ±0.02 mm. It is designed for gripping workpieces in handling and assembly tasks and works double-acting or single-acting with a normally open or normally closed spring. The gripper weighs between 25 g and 1396 g, runs at up to 8 bar and operates at ambient temperatures from -10 °C to +60 °C. It mounts directly through holes or threads in any position, and proximity switches detect the end positions.
