Features:
- Gripping motion: Uses two parallel jaws to hold and release a workpiece along a straight path.
- Pneumatic actuation: Applies double-acting air control across the opening and closing cycle.
- Application boundary: Requires gripping force to be checked at the actual pressure, jaw length and workpiece position.
DHPS-20-A is used in automated handling where parallel jaw travel supports repeatable pickup, transfer and release of a defined part.
The gripper body and the custom jaw tooling act as one mechanism; tooling mass, gripping-point distance and part geometry all affect the usable holding margin.
Matching DHPS-20-A with Festo part number 1254046 helps maintenance teams retain the intended stroke, mounting and pneumatic interface when replacing an installed unit.
Apter Power supports exact-model document review, quotation, and procurement for the Festo DHPS-20-A Parallel Gripper.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Force calculation: use actual pressure, jaw length, part mass, acceleration, and safety factor.
- Stroke: verify 6.5 mm per jaw covers the full tolerance range.
- Tooling: confirm jaw mass, geometry, mounting, and center of gravity.
- Mounting: use the documented interface and keep the gripper body aligned.
- Air supply: verify pressure, cleanliness, tubing, valves, and exhaust behavior.
- Sensing: confirm compatible position sensing and cable routing where required.
- Leak check: inspect fittings, tubing, piston seals, and pressure stability.
- Motion check: verify equal jaw travel, smooth motion, and absence of collision.
- Acceptance: test the intended part at controlled speed and record secure hold and release.
- Part handling: parallel gripping in automated transfer and assembly.
- Machine tending: supported loads within the calculated force envelope.
- Maintenance: exact-part replacement where DHPS-20-A or 1254046 is specified.
