Manifolds and Pneumatic Islands
Pneumatic Distributors — These are pneumatic components that, in automation technology, control actuators — such as rod-type cylinders, rodless cylinders, motors, or grippers. When it comes to the pneumatic control valves themselves, there are pneumatically actuated valves, solenoid valves, and manually operated valves, which Festo offers in many different designs and versions. In addition, pneumatic control valve assemblies in pneumatic islands are available to meet system requirements.
Pneumatic Distributors in Pneumatics
Pneumatics is used in industrial automation to transmit motion and force—typically using compressed air. The motion itself is carried out by actuators; in order to ultimately control these actuators, pneumatic control valves or pneumatic control units are used in automation technology.
Components of a simple pneumatic system (example):
• Cylinder
• Pneumatic distributor
• Accessories
Electric and pneumatic air distributors for various applications
Depending on the application, Festo pneumatic distributors can be used universally or customized individually. In addition to pneumatic distributors, shut-off valves, and pressure or flow regulators, our product range also includes piezo valves—proportional pressure control valves characterized by a long service life and minimal energy consumption.
Pneumatic distributors with electromagnetic and pneumatic control
A pneumatic manifold is used to change, open, or block the direction of compressed air flow in a pneumatic system.
Electrically and pneumatically controlled pneumatic distributors from Festo:
• Standard pneumatic distributors
• Universal pneumatic distributors
• Pneumatic distributors for special applications
Pneumatic and mechanical actuated process valves for various media and processes
Process valves and valves for various media from Festo — regardless of the medium, such as gases, high-viscosity liquids, pastes, or granules — can control various fluids in your processes during cooling and lubrication, cleaning and washing, sterilization, or during dosing and mixing.
