One simulation tool for selecting the optimum system
The free online Festo Positioning Drives tool enables selection of the ideal OMS for the required application. Simply enter your application details to view a range of technically-matched solutions. These will take into account:
- mechanical axis required (piston rod, rodless gantry, cantilever-based linear
drives, guided rotary tables)
- guidance and application requirements (mass, centre of gravity, off-sets, velocity).
Safety
Safety margin information is provided for each option, to aid selection.
Electrical compatibility
When you have selected your mechanical drive, the tool chooses the appropriate motor and gearbox for the performance requirement – ensuring electrical compatibility.
Positioning Drives tool
One purchase order for simple ordering
A single complete price is provided for your chosen system. One supplier for the entire system means you need place only one order, need only one purchase order number and have only one delivery to handle – within just one week of ordering.
Easy to Connect
One system design connects to multiple fieldbus protocols
The Festo OMS Series connects to a wide variety of end-user protocols. This allows machine builders to design a standard electric drive system which requires only a simple and inexpensive change of connectivity node to communicate directly with any of the systems below:
- I/O-link
- CANopen
- DeviceNet
- EtherCAT
- PROFIBUS
- PROFINET

One Allen key for fast assembly
Any Festo OMS package can be assembled out of the box using only one tool: a basic Allen key. All mechanical interfaces are designed to work together to provide secure, aligned axes with no need for additional brackets or adaptors.
Easy to Configure
One free and easy to use configuration tool
All parameters can be downloaded from the free Festo WebConfig tool, eliminating the need for manual entry and the associated risk of error. Programming time is also significantly reduced.
One number to call for technical support
To help with your selection process, free CAD drawings are available in all standard native formats, together with electronic datasheets for easy technical file compilation.
