Precision Parallel Gripper for Automated Handling

The Festo DHPS-20-A is a compact parallel gripper designed for pick-and-place tasks in automated assembly and testing cells. Its 6.5 mm stroke suits small components where precise centring and repeatable clamping force are required. Electricians and automation engineers integrate it into fixture plates or robot end-effectors for reliable part transfer.

Consistent Clamping Across Extended Cycles

Pneumatic actuation delivers steady grip force without the torque drop-off seen in electric motors under continuous cycling. The parallel jaw motion maintains part alignment during high-frequency operation, reducing mis-feeds in vibratory bowl or conveyor-fed sequences. Durable seals and hardened jaw guides sustain performance over millions of strokes in clean or lightly contaminated environments.

Stroke Length Defines Workpiece Envelope

The fixed 6.5 mm total stroke sets the maximum size difference between open and closed positions, limiting the gripper to parts within that dimensional window. Jaw tooling must accommodate the full travel without interference from adjacent fixtures. System designers size the air supply and valve response to match the cycle rate demanded by the production line takt time.

Questions about this item

Does the DHPS-20-A parallel gripper generate noticeable heat or noise during continuous daily operation?

The DHPS-20-A is a pneumatic parallel gripper with no motor or electronics, so it produces no electrical heat and operates silently apart from normal compressed-air exhaust.

What compressed-air supply and fittings must I already have to install the DHPS-20-A gripper?

You need a clean, lubricated compressed-air line at the required operating pressure, plus suitable push-in or threaded fittings to connect the gripper's air ports.

Will the 6.5 mm stroke of the DHPS-20-A work with the mounting pattern on my existing Festo handling modules?

The DHPS-20-A uses Festo's standard size-20 mounting interface, so it bolts directly to existing Festo handling modules and adapter plates of the same size.
