HFP Series Mechanical Parallel Style

HFP Series Lever-Type Economical Parallel Pneumatic Gripper

Brand: SOLH by Richge Technology 

Product Overview

     SOLH HFP series adopts mechanical lever transmission for 2-jaw parallel opening and closing. Core strengths: simple lever mechanism with competitive price, stable clamping performance, three-side universal mounting, factory pre-installed magnet and wear-resistant long service life. It is the mainstream economical parallel gripper solution for light load high-frequency loading/unloading and cost-sensitive automated stations.

Core Structure & Operating Features

     -- Working Principle: Piston pushes lever assembly to drive two jaws for parallel movement. Pure mechanical lever drive, fewer components, low maintenance cost.

     -- Force Characteristic: Jaws clamp when piston extends and release when retracts. Clamping force is 20%~30% higher than opening force for safer workpiece holding.

     -- Stability & Precision: Large contact surface between jaws and main body reduces shaking and improves clamping accuracy. Metal separator plates isolate friction surfaces to lower abrasion and extend service life.

     -- Flexible Mounting: Three mounting faces (side / bottom / rear). Integrated sensor grooves support direct magnetic switch installation without extra brackets.

     -- Material & Durability: Hard anodized aluminum body, wear-resistant lever parts and stainless steel jaws. Mechanical cycle life ≥5 million times, suitable for continuous high-frequency automation operation.

Complete Model Coding Rule

Core Competitive Advantages

   1. Excellent cost-performance lever structure

     -- Simple mechanical transmission reduces parts count. Performance close to high-end parallel grippers while price only reaches 1/2~2/3 of guide rail type models.

   2. Higher clamping force enhances safety

     -- Clamping force during extension is 20%~30% larger than release force, lowering risk of workpiece slipping under light load conditions.

   3.Three-direction universal mounting

     -- Mounting holes available on side, bottom and rear face, supports horizontal, vertical and lateral assembly for easy on-site commissioning.

   4. Built-in magnet, ready for sensor installation

     -- Permanent magnet integrated as standard. Body reserved slide grooves for CS1-G switches; no extra mounting brackets needed.

   5. Wear-resistant design for high-cycle operation

     -- Metal anti-friction separators reduce component abrasion, delivering long service life for continuous automated production lines.

Mounting Forms & Typical Industrial Applications

   1. Mounting Options

     -- Side mounting: Horizontal clamping for assembly line loading/unloading

     -- Bottom mounting: Vertical lifting for injection molding & machine tool pick-and-place

     -- Rear mounting: Lateral gripping for confined narrow stations

   3. Typical Application Scenarios

     -- 3C & Electronics: Gripping miniature plastic components, hardware parts and battery housings

     -- Automotive Components: Transfer of small stamping parts, rubber elements and interior trims

     -- Packaging & Logistics: Picking small cartons, plastic bags and miniature pallets

     -- General Automation: Station positioning clamping and high-frequency reciprocating handling

Selection Comparison: HFP Lever VS HFY Pivot VS MHZ2 Linear Guide Gripper

3-Step Fast Selection Guide

   1. Bore selection based on workpiece mass

     -- 10 ≤1kg；16 =1~2kg；20 =2~3kg；25 =3~5kg；32 =5~8kg. Reserve ≥30% safety margin.

   2. Stroke verification

     -- Ensure jaw travel ≥ workpiece outer dimension plus minimum 2mm clearance to avoid mechanical interference.

   3. Configuration matching

     -- Automatic signal interlock: Equip two CS1-G magnetic switches to detect open & closed state.

     -- Confined equipment layout: HFP three-side mounting provides flexible installation solutions.
