Pneumatics are used in industrial automation to transmit movement or force, which is usually done with the help of compressed air. The movement itself is carried out by actuators, while valves are used to control the actuators. Components of a simple pneumatic system are, for example: cylinder, directional control valve and other pneumatic components.
The Festo range of pneumatic devices includes both ready-to-install automation systems and customised solutions for industrial processes.
Choose from a variety of:
Pneumatic devices from Festo for actuator technology, whether as individual products or turnkey solutions, stand for innovation and maximum productivity in industrial and process automation. Our pneumatic devices are characterised by their particularly high functional safety and are used wherever high-quality solutions are required for smooth automation technology.
Sturdy and reliable connection technology plays an important role in industrial automation. This is because the connection of individual technical components and parts, for example in the form of cables, terminals or connectors, must withstand a wide variety of ambient conditions. Festo offers you a comprehensive selection of connecting components for pneumatic applications as well as for electric applications and fluid media for use in industrial automation.
Our range of pneumatic connection technology includes various connecting components such as fittings, couplings and distributors as well as the matching tubing and piping. Using suitable connectors, pneumatic components in industrial automation can easily be connected to the overall system. In addition, other components and accessories for pneumatic solutions, such as seals or protective tubing systems, are available to suit your needs.
Festo offers a wide range of connecting cables for electrical connection technology. Our universal cables offer unlimited combinations of plug sockets, cable lengths and qualities as well as plugs, specifically suited to, for example, proximity switches or pressure switches. We also have a large range of connecting cables for controllers, camera systems or I/O interfaces as well as connecting cables for motor controllers and motors, for valves and valve terminals and for sensors. In addition, we offer suitable plugs as well as a wide range of accessories such as inscription label holders, cable connectors, cover caps, illuminating seals, display and plug adapters.
You will also find reliable connection technology for liquid and gaseous media at Festo. The fittings for fluid media are particularly suitable for laboratory applications. They are used for mounting tubes or dosing nozzles within the scope of their technical data. For a reliable fluid connection in laboratory equipment you have the choice between different variants for different tubing or dispensing nozzles.
Our service specialists, who are available worldwide, support you during commissioning and ensure that the individual components work together perfectly. This avoids malfunctions, performance losses and premature wear.
