Selection and dimensioning of electro mechanic axis, motor and gear will be a breeze. Find a solution with only a few basic data. One stop shopping with the compentence of Festo - the axes and motor specialist.




Pneumatic dimensioning with ProPneu
Highly accurate simulations replace expensive reality testing! ProPneu assists you in selecting and configuring the entire pneumatic control sequence for the creation of an expert system. If one input quantity is changed, the program automatically makes any necessary changes to the rest of the included components.




Bearing calculation DGC
for pneumatic linear drives

Type DGC linear drives are known for developing high power in small spaces. This tool assures optimised configuration of these drives. You specify project parameters such as load or force, installation position and travel.




Gripper selection
Specific factors must be calculated in order to assure reliable gripping, i.e. weight, direction of travel, clearances etc. This tool immediately indicates which of the parallel, radial, angle or 3-point grippers should be used, and which size is best for your application.




Shock absorber selection
Whether motion is inclined or vertical, arched or straight, whether executed with a lever or a disc: all types of motion damping are taking into consideration. And the software tool always recommends the right shock absorber.




Inertia calculations
Juggling pencils and pocket calculators is a thing of the past. Whether discs, blocks, plug-on flanges, grippers or other components are involved, this tool calculates all mass moments of inertia. Save, transfer or print the resulting output data and your finished.




Smart Soft Stop
The Smart Soft Stop can practically turn the impossible into reality. Travel times are reduced by as much as 30% for pneumatic drives and greatly reduced vibration is made possible. The selection program performs all of the necessary calculations.




Selection of vacuum components
Which suction cup for which surface quality with which type of motion? Don't test - calculate instead! Linear or rotating motion can be differentiated with this software tool at three different levels including simple, standard and experimental.


Tubing selection
Simply enter the desired parameters such as working pressure and resistance to chemicals and cleaning agents, and the program will select suitable tubing for your application.







Muscle SIM
Do you have an application for the Festo Fluidic Muscle? With this tool you can easily simulate a single tensile actuator or a pneumatic tension spring. A comprehensive product configuration, accessory selection and parts list are included.
