A powerful drive calls for cushioning that extends the operating life of machines. Festo has addressed this need by equipping the compact drives ADN-S-… with pneumatic end-position cushioning PPS. The design minimises impact in the end positions while at the same time improving reliability thanks to the self-adjusting cushioning. The small sizes are ideal for the electronics industry and small parts assembly.

The electric standard gripper EHPS from Festo is the electric version of the pneumatic standard gripper DHPS. The EHPS can be used wherever pneumatics is not permissible. The concept of the electric standard gripper is based on simplicity and low complexity – all the electronics are integrated in the gripper, which means that an external motor controller is not required.
