Butterfly valves the way you want them to be: highly functional,

sturdy, wear resistant, reliable and non-corroding. Making our

solutions for you even more impressive. Together with Festo's

top-quality drives, the result is excellent shut-off solutions for all

industrial applications with an extremely wide range of media.

The valve control module VAEM makes precise switching of solenoid valves easier than ever. Up to 8 channels can be parameterised individually. A temporary resolution of only 0.2 ms and the control of the valves via current – not voltage – enable extremely high preci­sion, e.g. for dispensing applications. The holding current reduction saves energy and minimises heat input.

Whether dosing or operation with continuous flows is what’s needed,

with the media separated solenoid valve VYKA you can do both!

This powerhouse allows you to dose very small quantities with very

compact dimensions.

This whitepaper includes information on:

• How pneumatic guided drives and slides work

• Pneumatic or electric? Where pneumatic excels

• Guided drive or slide? Which to choose

• Customization possibilities: bearings, cushioning and more

• Models for special situations

• Sizing the drive or slide for your application

Products from the core product range from Festo make it easy for you to increase the productivity of your textile machines. Whether the need is for spinning, stretch texturing, weaving, round knitting, flat knitting or textile finishing – Festo offers the right product for your application.

Automation solutions for the automotive

and Tier 1 supplier industry

Automation components for use in the food and beverage industry

Many of Festo’s products are inherently free of copper. For example guides are made essentially of polymer. In order to be able to offer customers who manufacture lithium-ion batteries as many components as possible from our product range, we have optimised products specifically for use in this field – and we have replaced parts that contain copper with copper-free elements.

From individual valves to automation platforms.

Ideal for laboratory analysis of clinical sample preparations, using highly integrated fluid technology from Festo. Sophisticated technology, advanced control electronics with maximum manufacturing precision together guarantee precise metering results from Festo liquid handling solutions.

Summary:

This technical report indicates that the most valves should be operated in high demand mode according to IEC 61508.

Summary:

For valves is the value “forced dynamization” defined. This technical report explains the background for this definition and gives recommendations for the application of valves which are not switched over a longer time period.
