Pneumatic rotary drives from Festo enable rotary movements with a swivel angle of up to 270°. Both rotary vane drives and rack-and pinion drives typically achieve maximum precision while also offering excellent performance and great versatility. As a result, our pneumatic drives are used in factory automation across a wide range of industries.

The impressive features of our compact rotary drives include installation in tight spaces, high permissible mass moments of inertia and the sensing option. Selected types are also available in a modular design with additional functions or are suitable for potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with the ATEX directive.
If your unit includes a cylinder stroke or magnetic piston sensing, end-position feedback prevents timing drift. Use cylinder sensors as pneumatic actuator limit switches. These cylinder end position sensors, commonly used as limit switches for pneumatic cylinders, detect the piston magnet—typically via a reed switch for pneumatic cylinder—and deliver clear signals at each stop. They serve as pneumatic cylinder end-of-stroke sensors and a robust cylinder limit switch choice.
