Sophisticated sensors transform

standard drives (from Festo’s core

product range) into highly sensi-

tive actuators to suit tasks that

until recently were unimaginable.

our new and highly efficient assembly line!

New production system ensures increased availability of the VUVG valve series.

Purchasers and design engineers are delighted with Festo’s DRVS

Semi-rotary drive DRVS -

one of our brightest stars!

VUVG solenoid valves are the workhorses in machine

automation solutions and can be found in a wide vari-

ety of applications. Festo ‚ s state of the art production

facilities now ensure that these much coveted ‘stars ‚ ,

offering excellent value for money, are now readily

available in large quantities. Great news for machine

builders and buyers!

Scharnhausen, Germany

– “We sup-

ply these pneumatic star products

whenever they are needed and in a

variety of quantities” Dirk (machine

operator of the new production plant

for VUVG solenoid valves in Scharn-

hausen), explains. The new, highly

automated system is achieving our

objectives, i.e. faster availability and

increased flexibility. “Demand for the

valve series VG is enormous,” he con-

tinues. Not surprisingly, these com-

pact, cost effective valves with high

flow rates are regarded by experts as

the best in their class. They offer up to

100% more flow with the same valve

size than comparable competitor

valves. They are available in both elec-

trically and pneumatically actuated

variants, and can easily be expanded

to form a valve terminal (VTUG) with

an individual electrical connection and

fieldbus connection (CTEU). In short,

they are perfectly suited to a wide

range of industry segments and areas

satility, no star comes close to match-

ing our VUVG,” says Dirk proudly.

Compact.

Durable.

Powerful.

A semi-rotary drive with so many ben-

efits is destined to be a star per-

former. A key member of the Festo

core product range, the DRVS is a

multi-talented device for rotary

motion applications.

This compact drive is packed with

benefits and when combined with the

SRBS sensor kit, becomes a particu-

larly attractive semi-rotary solution.

This drive/sensor combination can be

mounted quickly and commissioned

with incredible ease.

Other benefits include contactless

position sensing without mechanical

adjustment, quick teaching of switch-

ing points at the touch of a button,

and outstanding value for money.

Many experts therefore agree that the

DRVS and sensor kit SRBS are perfect

partners for rotary applications.
