Choosing the right Festo product
Match the drive type to the task
For simple point-to-point movements with fixed end positions, pneumatic drives such as semi-rotary drives or rotary indexing tables are robust and economical. Where free positioning, defined speed profiles or frequent format changes are required, electric servo motors with a matching motor controller are the better choice.
Coordinate the components correctly
When sizing your system, make sure the parts work together cleanly:
- Size the drive to load, stroke and cycle time
- Select the gripper by workpiece weight and contour
- Ensure clean compressed air with suitable dryers and preparation
- Match the control and controller to the chosen drive type
Pneumatic or electric drive?
| Criterion | Pneumatic drive | Electric drive (servo) |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning accuracy | Fixed end positions, limited intermediate stops | Freely programmable, high repeat accuracy |
| Force/dynamics | High force with simple design, fast strokes | Precisely controlled force and speed |
| Entry cost | Usually lower purchase, compressed air assumed | Higher purchase due to motor and control |
| Application | Handling, clamping, indexing with fixed positions | Positioning, format changes, variable sequences |
| Control | Valves and valve terminals | Motor controllers and drive regulators |
