Inspire Robots RH56DFX Dexterous Hand
Inspire Robots RH56DFX is a 6-DoF, 12-joint dexterous hand driven by six built-in linear servo actuators. It has six force sensors at 0.5 N resolution and 0.2 mm fingertip repeatability, grips with 15 N at the thumb and 10 N at the four fingers (DF grade), and flexes the fingers at 570°/s. It runs on 24 V (2 A max) over RS485 (CAN+RS485 version sold), 217.8 mm long, 80.7 mm palm, 540 g, in left and right versions.

Specifications
Motor performance
No-load, rated-load and stall figures retain their separate test conditions.
Stall torque and current are not continuous ratings. Check the duty cycle and starting load when choosing the driver and power supply.
Thermal limits by level
Product operating conditions, chip ambient ratings, package case limits and junction maxima remain separate.
