Compressed air distributor
Compressed air preparation
Festo compressed air distributors allow a single compressed air feed to be branched to multiple consumers within a service block assembly. The branch modules of the MS series MS4-FRM, MS6-FRM, MS9-FRM, and MS12-FRM plug directly into the module block and provide lateral compressed air outlets with port sizes from G 1/4 to G 1/2. Distributor blocks MS4-FRM-FRZ and MS6-FRM-FRZ are also available, consolidating multiple branch connections on a common base.
| Type | System | Port | Branch |
|---|---|---|---|
| MS4-FRM-1/4 | MS4 | G 1/4 | single-sided |
| MS4-FRM-1/4-Y | MS4 | G 1/4 | double-sided (Y) |
| MS4-FRM-1/8 | MS4 | G 1/8 | single-sided |
| MS6-FRM-1/2 | MS6 | G 1/2 | single-sided |
| MS6-FRM-1/4 | MS6 | G 1/4 | single-sided |
| MS6-FRM-FRZ | MS6 | multiple | distributor block |
| MS12-FRM-G | MS12 | G (flange) | single-sided |
Typical applications: Supplying multiple parallel consumers from a single service station, machine sections with lateral compressed air branches for grippers or vacuum suction units, modular production cells with variable connection requirements, and retrofitting existing MS blocks to expand branch capacity without replacing the entire system.
