Festo: Pneumatic actuator for servo positioning and force control

The Festo’s DDLI servo-pneumatic actuator with integrated position feedback delivers precise dynamic movement of large loads – up to 180kg horizontally and 60 kg vertically – and cycle times up to 30% faster than comparable standard pneumatic actuators, according to the company.

The DDLI is able to position a diverter on a conveyor, opening and closing large machine doors, clamping, and more.

When used with the Festo CPX-CMAX servo-pneumatic controller, the DDLI can be operated like an electric servo drive to perform position and force tasks. Use the integrated record set table to predefine position and force tasks in the CMAX controller. Or send position and force directly from the PLC to the CMAX controller and modify movements on the fly.

This actuator is well-suited for precise dynamic movement of large loads. When used with the Festo CPX-CMPX soft stop module, DDLI eliminates impacts at the end position.
