Calculation guide for
pneumatic linear drives
Festo's linear drives are known for delivering
maximum force in minimum space. By
specifying the project parameters such as
mass or force, mounting position and travel,
the software tool determines the optimum
drive configuration for you.
This tool can be found
in the electronic catalogue via the blue
icons in the product tree underneath the
search field, or
on the website under Support in the
Engineering software area, or
on the DVD under Selection and sizing.
