Robotic dexterous hands need to balance grip strength, precision, flexibility, speed, and durability. The Leadshine DH116 11-DOF Dexterous Hand is designed to deliver reliable gripping performance for industrial automation, humanoid robotics, smart logistics, and robotic research.

1. Lightweight Design with Powerful Grip
The DH116 combines a lightweight five-finger structure with high-performance brushless motors, delivering strong grip capability without adding excessive load to the robot arm.
- 545g lightweight design for improved robotic arm flexibility
- Up to 30kg full-hand grip load for heavy-duty handling
- ≥1.5kg single-finger pinch force for precise manipulation
- Up to 5kg peak fingertip load for demanding tasks
- 50N+ lateral grip force for stable object handling
This combination makes the DH116 suitable for both heavy-duty grasping and precision manipulation.
2. Adaptive Gripping with Tactile Sensing
The DH116 integrates high-sensitivity tactile sensors with force-position hybrid control, enabling more responsive and controlled gripping.
Its five-finger anthropomorphic structure can adapt to objects with different shapes and sizes, including cylindrical, spherical, irregular, and delicate objects.
This helps reduce the limitations of fixed-force gripping and supports applications where both secure handling and precise control are required.
3. Fast and Durable Performance
Designed for repetitive robotic operations, the DH116 features brushless hollow-cup servo motors and a reinforced transmission system.
- Approx. 0.6s grip cycle for fast pick-and-place operations
- Up to 1 million operating cycles for long-term use
- FOC motor control for responsive and consistent operation
These features make the DH116 suitable for demanding automation environments where speed and repeatability matter.
4. Versatile Robotic Applications
The DH116 can be integrated into a wide range of robotic systems, including:
- Industrial Automation: Handling, sorting, assembly, and precision gripping
- Humanoid Robotics: Human-like grasping and manipulation research
- Smart Logistics: Package sorting and irregular-object handling
- Robotic R&D: Dexterous manipulation, robot learning, and system development
The DH116 supports CAN FD, RS485, and EtherCAT, providing flexible connectivity for different robotic platforms and control systems.
