Festo's EHPS Electric Standard Gripper: Simple and Reliable

For standard movement

Reliable, economical, powerful. The parallel gripper EHPS is a great solution for gripping small to medium-sized parts. It comes into its
own in handling and assembly technology as well as in special machine construction, the electronics industry, small parts assembly
and MedLab.

Simple and reliable

  • Through-holes for easy mounting
  • Electrical connection with cable harness and plug
  • Jaw guide for high torque resistance
  • Gripper jaws with interface profile and sturdy plain-bearing guide for high torque resistance
  • Sensor slot for gripper jaw position sensing
  • Status indicator for power supply and error message

 

Integrated control
Digital actuation makes commissioning easy – with no need for external controllers. Direct position sensing with the T-slot on
the gripping head indicates whether the gripping motion is correct. The latched switch with four gripping force adjustment
settings makes EHPS powerful and adaptable for sensitive workpieces.

Reliable operation
In the event of a power failure, EHPS holds the workpiece through automatic locking of the gear unit while the free wheel
unit prevents jamming. The gripper is actuated via two open/close PINs and just one signal;uncontrolled movement is prevented.

Small and powerful
In the EHPS, compact dimensions without interference contours and protruding plugs are combined with a highly dynamic
motor for high forces and a strong dynamic response. The acceleration distance for maximum force is just 0.5 mm.
