Even in the design phase it is possible to achieve a high level of savings potential through the use of highly efficient selection and sizing software tools. This applies to electrical, servo-pneumatic and pneumatic drive systems.
Cylinder Air Consumption
Oversized components cost! Save 35% energy, save 12% on cost.
When selecting a drive or vacuum product it’s easy to ‘go up a size – just in case’. Did you know stepping up one diameter in pneumatic cylinders wastes on average 35% of energy?
Typically the cost of the cylinder goes up by 10-12% as well
If you want to be cost conscious ensure you correctly size components, take out the guesswork by using Festo’s software tools and consultancy capability. These services enable you to select the correct and most energy efficient components for your application.
