Genuine AirTAC long-stroke parallel gripper, order code HFKL25 from the HFKL range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
The HFKL25 is the Dia 25 mm bore version of the AirTAC HFKL long-stroke parallel gripper, double acting so air drives the jaws both to close and to open. Its two jaws ride on an integrated crossed-roller linear guide, and at 0.5 MPa with a gripping distance L = 20 mm one jaw closes with 69 N and opens with 102 N. The total jaw stroke is 22 mm, a long stroke that lets the jaws open well clear of the part.
The standard jaw carries no additional jaw code in the ordering system, so fingers mount directly on the finished jaw faces. Ports are M5x0.8, operating pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa and no lubrication is needed. A magnet is built into every HFKL25, with round and square sensor grooves in the body so CMSH/DMSH/EMSH or CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches fit without brackets. Repeatability is +/-0.01 mm, the maximum frequency is 120 c.p.m., the temperature range is -20 to +70 C and the unit weighs 489 g.

Pick the HFKL25 when the Dia 25 closing force of 69 N and opening force of 102 N per jaw at 0.5 MPa match your part, and the 22 mm stroke clears your fixture. Within the same bore, the ordering-code jaw letter is the deciding factor: the HFKL25B (B = side mounting) and HFKL25F (F = bottom mounting) change where your fingers attach, while the HFKL25N (N = through-hole mounting) is the alternative if you need fingers secured by through bolts. If Dia 25 is oversized for the load, step down to the HFKL20 with 45 N closing and 68 N opening force and 18 mm stroke; if you need more force, confirm larger options from the datasheet.
The 22 mm stroke lifts jaws well clear of fixtures while the crossed-roller guide holds +/-0.01 mm repeatability during repetitive placement of housings and covers.
A long stroke opens the jaws wider than the compact HFK at the same bore, so released parts fall free of the fingers on divert and reject conveyors.
The locating hole in the body and locating pins under the guide make repeat mounting on quick-change plates accurate, and sensor grooves let CMSG or EMSG switches report jaw position without brackets.
Dia 25 mm bore, double acting, closing 69 N and opening 102 N per jaw at 0.5 MPa with gripping distance L = 20 mm, total stroke 22 mm, M5x0.8 ports, operating pressure 0.15-0.7 MPa, weight 489 g, repeatability +/-0.01 mm, temperature -20 to +70 C, maximum frequency 120 c.p.m.
Every HFKL25 has a built-in magnet and grooves in the body for bracket-free mounting. CMSH, DMSH and EMSH switches fit the round groove, and CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit the square groove, which is available on the Dia 16 bore and up, so the Dia 25 accepts both families.
