FAQs
What is the maximum operating pressure for the DHPS-35-A-NO?
The maximum operating pressure for this gripper is 8 bar.
How much stroke does each jaw have?
Each jaw has a stroke of 12.5 mm.
Can I monitor the position of the jaws?
Yes, the gripper is designed for compatibility with proximity sensors, allowing for accurate position monitoring.
What happens if the air pressure is lost?
The gripper features a gripping force backup on opening, which helps to maintain a secure hold on the workpiece even during power loss.
What type of guide mechanism is used for the gripper jaws?
The gripper utilizes a T-slot guide for its gripper jaws, ensuring stability and precision.
Is lubrication required for the air supply?
For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to use filtered and lubricated compressed air.
Troubleshooting
Gripper not opening or closing
Check air supply connection and pressure. Ensure air lines are not kinked or blocked. Verify control signals are correctly sent to the gripper.
Gripper jaws do not close with sufficient force
Confirm that the operating pressure is within the specified range (up to 8 bar). Check for air leaks. Ensure the workpiece is within the gripping range and not obstructing jaw movement.
Proximity sensor not detecting jaw position
Verify sensor wiring and connection to the control system. Ensure the sensor is correctly positioned relative to the jaw movement. Check sensor settings and compatibility.
Gripper opens unexpectedly
Verify the gripping force backup feature is functioning correctly and air supply is stable. Inspect the gripper for internal leaks or mechanical issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the gripper to a filtered and lubricated compressed air supply. Ensure the air supply meets the maximum operating pressure of 8 bar. Mount the gripper securely to the automation system using appropriate fixtures. Connect any optional proximity sensors to the control system according to the sensor manufacturer's specifications.
Compatibility: The DHPS-35-A-NO is designed for pneumatic operation and is compatible with standard industrial air lines. It can integrate with various control systems via compatible proximity sensors. Ensure that the components being gripped are within the gripper's force and stroke capabilities.
Care: Regularly inspect the gripper for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the exterior surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically check and maintain the pneumatic air supply quality (filtration and lubrication) for optimal performance and longevity. Avoid operating the gripper beyond its specified maximum pressure.
