Pneumatic drive technologies offer decisive advantages for sustainable automation. They are energy-efficient, durable, cost-effective and ideal for simple motion sequences. Their targeted use improves the CO₂ footprint, reduces the use of materials and increases system availability. When combined with electric drives, they can create exceptionally sustainable solutions that can be used for a wide range of requirements in machine and system building.
Our highlight products, engineering tools and services show how sustainable automation is already successful today, whether in terms of material and resource efficiency, saving energy or the circular economy
