Festo pneumatics
Pneumatic drives
Festo pneumatic drives cover the complete linear cylinder and rotary program from Festo for linear stroke movements, pivoting movements, and rotary tables. The range is divided into norm-based piston rod cylinders (ISO 6432, ISO 15552, ISO 21287), rodless cylinders, rotary actuators, guided drives, stopper cylinders, clamping cylinders, diaphragm actuators, tandem and high-force cylinders, and cylinder accessories. All drive types are coordinated with one another and can be combined with Festo sensors, valve terminals, and compressed air preparation components.

How to choose Pneumatic drives
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Drive types and their characteristics
Selection guide by application type
| Task | Recommended drive type | Festo series |
|---|---|---|
| Linear stroke, norm installation | ISO norm cylinder | DNC (ISO 15552), ADN (ISO 21287) |
| Linear stroke, compact | Compact cylinder | ADVU, ADN, DSBC |
| Linear stroke, long stroke | Rodless cylinder | DGC, DGP, DGPL |
| Pivot/rotation | Rotary actuator | DSM, DRRD |
| Stroke with guidance | Guided drive | DFM, DGSL |
| Stop/separation | Stopper cylinder | STA |
Typical applications
Typical applications: Assembly automation with standardized linear movements (ISO/VDMA norm cylinders), workpiece handling with controlled lateral forces (guided drives DFM), pivot operations for grippers and rotary tables (DSM, DRRD), transfer lines with pallet carrier stopping (stopper cylinders STA), process valves in chemical engineering (DFPB/DAPS actuators), and high-load applications with increased thrust force (tandem cylinders).
