Festo Simplified Motion Series

festo-simplified-motion-series

The Simplified Motion Series combines the simplicity of pneumatics with the advantages of electric automation. The Simplified Motion Series consists of electromechanical components with an application-optimized combination of motor and servo drive, known as an integrated drive. This means that you do not need an external servo drive, and you can commission the system quickly and easily.

The actuators are ideal for simple movements between two mechanical end positions with speed control, gently cushioned travel into the end position, or simplified pressing and clamping functions. They are plug-and-work components, neither software or a PC is needed because all the parameters are set manually on the actuator. You can also connect the Simplified Motion Series directly to the controller using Digital I/O or IO-Link, which are both integrated as standard.

Festo Configuration Engineering Tools

festo-digital-engineering-tool

Engineering and design often take significant time and effort. Festo has developed a number of online engineering tools to help save you time and make your job easier. Both pneumatic and electric motion product configurator/sizing tools are available. Using pneumatic sizing, you can calculate an ideal pneumatic control chain. By entering three application parameters such as load, stroke, and positioning time, you will receive three suggestions: the perfectly accurate result as well as the high-performance and economical results. The electric motion sizing tool helps you find the right electric or electromechanical servo drive for your application. Calculations are also performed on the basis of just a few parameters.
