Festo DHPS Overview
The Festo DHPS is a pneumatic two-jaw parallel gripper with a plain-bearing guide, built in sizes 6 to 35 with a stroke of 2 mm to 12.5 mm per jaw. At 6 bar its total closing force ranges from 25 N to 910 N 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 spring for gripping force backup. The gripper weighs between 19 g and 1345 g, runs at 2 bar to 8 bar and operates at ambient temperatures from 5 °C to 60 °C. Size 6 is sensed with a Hall sensor and sizes 10 to 35 with proximity switches.
