Festo is a leading supplier of industrial automation technology in the fields of pneumatic and electrical automation. Festo is an engineering-driven company, producing and selling pneumatic and electrical control and drive technology for factory or process automation.
An air service unit ensures the correct compressed air quality and filters compressor oil, condensate and dirt particles from the air. Depending on the application, a service unit consists of a pressure regulator, various filters, a branch module and exhaust valves. A unit with a filter regulator and lubricator is used when the compressed air not only needs to be cleaned but also oiled. The filter regulator removes the condensate and coarse dirt from the compressor, the lubricator supplies a finely dosed quantity of pneumatic lubricating oil. As part of the Festo core product range, these compressed air products offer high quality at attractive price, quick delivery and are available worldwide.
Pneumatic valves are an important part of the pneumatic control system. They largely control the direction of the cylinders within the circuit but they can also be used as signalling or control elements. They need to have fast response times and withstand high forces.
Festo's pneumatic valves are sturdy, durable and reliable ensuring the best performance for your machines. We supply pneumatic valves of a high standard with up to 100 million switching cycles worldwide into a wide variety of industries.
Festo's product range includes directional control valves, proportional valves, safety valves, standards-based valves and fast-switching valves. These can be controlled either electrically, pneumatically, mechanically or manually.
Mechanical types include roller or stem valves which can be actuated by cylinder movement. Manual types include push button, lever or selector and are commonly found on control panels. These valves are used in all industry segments, from the food and packaging industry, automotive, electronics industries, and to pharmaceutical and life science industries. As part of the Festo core product range, these valves offer high quality at attractive price, quick delivery and are available worldwide.
Pneumatic ISO cylinders are cylinders with standardised dimensions and mounting interfaces. With regard to these dimensions, ISO cylinders of the same standard are identical. There are standards for piston rod cylinders in compact design (ISO 21287) , in round design (ISO 6432) and for standard cylinders (ISO 15552). Compact cylinders are pneumatic cylinders whose overall length, in relation to the stroke length, is extremely compact. Compact cylinders are typically used where space is extremely limited and the requirements on lateral load are low. The compact cylinders belong to the group of direct mounting cylinders and are mounted primarily without specific - and are mounted primarily without specific - mounting accessories.
Compact piston rod cylinders benefit from an optimised installation design for applications where space is limited and short stroke lengths are required. Thanks to their design, round cylinders can also be installed in tight spaces. To monitor the piston position, proximity switches can be attached to the cylinder barrel using a kit. Festo offers round cylinders with piston diameters from 2.5 mm to 63 mm and pneumatic cylinders in accordance with the ISO 6432 standard. The piston rod cylinders are available in double-acting and single-acting versions. Standard cylinders with profile barrel or with Festo tie rods are based on ISO 15552. Both cylinder types have identical mounting interfaces and dimensions and the same technical data. Pneumatic guided cylinders are very sturdy, heavy-duty, compact and precise. Cylinders with guide rods help to reduce the risk of rotation and are suitable for applications handling heavy loads. This increases system performance and reliability, giving you a long service lifetime. As part of the Festo core product range, these pneumatic cylinders offer high quality at attractive price, quick delivery and are available worldwide.
Our standard range of tubing covers a wide variety of applications and industries. Our tubing offers great bend radiuses making it perfect for compact machine installations and energy chains. On top of its great performance in standard pneumatic systems we also offer FDA approved material making this tubing ideally suited for food and beverage industry.
Our tubing is also robust enough to handle wet conditions and can be used outdoors. Festo fittings are specially designed to fit our tubing ensuring a leak free operation. From polymer to metal fittings, each range is designed with great corrosion resistance and performance benefits, suitable for a wide variety of industries.
One way flow control valves are a combination of a check valve and a flow control element in one component. The compressed air has unrestricted flow in one direction. The flow rate can be controlled in the opposite direction by means of a manual adjustment.
In combination with pneumatic cylinders, these products are used for speed regulation. As part of the Festo core product range, these pneumatic cylinders offer high quality at attractive price, quick delivery and are available worldwide.
Proximity sensors are available as reed and electronic versions. Proximity sensors are universally available as PNP or NPN. Electronic sensors are the preferred solution for all factory automation applications, especially with high cycle rates.Electronic sensors are a more popular choice because they are contactless and therefore not susceptable to mechanical failiure. Reed switches offer an alternative for simpler applications with reduced cycle times. Pressure and vacuum sensors expand the application range of systems,
provide greater process reliability and offer the option of remote maintenance and monitoring. They are also easy and quick to use thanks to the standardised control and display concept shared by all Festo pressure sensors. Flow monitoring is essential to understand the costs of your machine. Understanding your air usage and consumption will enable you to have a good performance and efficient machine run time. From simple diagnostics to complex condition monitoring, is all possibile with Festo standard flow sensor range. Festo standard inductive sensors keep an eye on all metals, from detection through to distance measurement of metallic objects.
