Classic
Vacuum technology
Under the Festo Classic product label, the established vacuum suction nozzles of the VAD and VADM series are grouped together. The VAD range covers port sizes M5, G1/8, G1/4, and G3/8, and is available in standard form as well as the ME variant with an adjustable throttle element and the MYB version with a bypass port. The VADM series provides nozzles with flow diameters from 45 to 300 for applications requiring higher suction volume.
| Series | Port | Feature |
|---|---|---|
| VAD | M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8 | Base version, compact ejector nozzle |
| VAD-ME | G1/8, G1/4, G3/8 | Adjustable throttle, fine-tuning of flow rate |
| VAD-ME-I | G1/8, G1/4, G3/8 | As ME, with integrated silencer |
| VAD-MYB | G1/8 | Bypass port for parallel suction circuits |
| VADM-45 to 300 | G-thread per size | Larger nozzle opening, higher volume flow |
| VADM-xx-N/P | G-thread | N: low pressure; P: active blow-off pulse on release |
Typical applications: Simple vacuum handling stations in assembly and packaging technology, replacement and retrofit of vacuum nozzles in existing machines, applications with limited installation space requiring compact ejectors without an external vacuum supply, and machines in the printing and paper processing industries.
