Project:
Alternative solution for tensioning warp beams in looms without using mechanical weights or springs
Requirements
- Warp beam brake in looms
- Ensuring constant and controllable tension of the yarn
- Simple, compact, easy-to-use solution
- Clean solution in order to protect the high-quality fabrics
- Automatic regulation of the thread tension in the loom
Solution
- Tensioning the warp beams using a pneumatic spring consisting of a fluidic muscle and a pressure regulator
- The fluidic muscle is constantly under pressure and can thus be operated in the same position for days without getting stuck.
- Tensile force is adjusted by a pressure regulator.
- The smooth motion of the fluidic muscle enables the force applied to the friction belt, and thus the thread tension, to be precisely adjusted.

Customised solutions for the textile industry
Do you want to simplify your processes, make them more reliable and also save time and money? We can help you with our individual solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs of the textile industry.
PrePacks
Reduce your process costs in purchasing and logistics:
Simply combine several individual components and you will receive everything in one packaging unit and with a single part number.
PreAssemblies
These further reduce the amount of assembly work required. From ready-to-install units right up to complete modules and subsystems.
Engineering tools like the Festo Design Tool (FDT) help you to plan, configure and order your products.

For special applications: modification or new development
Products tailored specifically to your requirements are not a problem. While little adjustments are often all that is needed to adapt our standard components for use in textile machines, at other times you may need a new development designed exactly according to your needs.
Our specialists can do both as part of the creative design process with you.
