EHPS-16-A electric parallel gripper module

The Festo EHPS-16-A is an electric parallel gripper designed as a robot kit for small and light workpieces. It has two jaws that move in parallel, driven by a compact electric motor, and a 16 mm size designation indicating the gripper body class. The unit is a gripper that offers adjustable gripping force and jaw stroke, with fast, repeatable motion. Control is commonly done through digital inputs and outputs, with an integrated controller electronics, which makes integration into robot cells straightforward without separate drives. The housing is compact and mounts on standard robot flanges using adapters. Typical applications include electronics assembly, handling of small parts, laboratory automation, pick-and-place operations, and machine tending where precise and quiet gripping is needed. Because it is electric, it avoids the need for compressed air, which reduces energy use compared with pneumatic grippers.
