Pneumatic rotary drives from Festo enable rotary movements with a swivel angle of up to 270°. Both rotary vane drives and rack-and pinion drives typically achieve maximum precision while also offering excellent performance and great versatility. As a result, our pneumatic drives are used in factory automation across a wide range of industries.

The impressive features of our compact rotary drives include installation in tight spaces, high permissible mass moments of inertia and the sensing option. Selected types are also available in a modular design with additional functions or are suitable for potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with the ATEX directive.
Festo rotary vane cylinders are compact and affordable drives available in two series: the DRVS series consists of rotary drives that are optimised for swivelling and are especially lightweight and compact. The swivel angle is either fixed or can be adjusted with the help of optional accessories. The DSM series offers lots of optional functions, including especially powerful hydraulic cushioning for high energy. The swivel angles of the DSM rotary drives are infinitely adjustable over the entire swivel range and deliver high precision thanks to fixed metal stops.
Our rotary drives which operate on the rack-and-pinion principle boast very high accuracy in the end positions, maximum load capacity of the bearing, very good axial run-out at the output shaft and high mass moments of inertia thanks to powerful cushioning. The DRRD series offers lots of optional functions that simplify use in handling and assembly technology: centre positioning module, energy through-feed, etc. With variable mounting options, the twin-piston drives are perfect in combination with other Festo drives and grippers.
Festo DSL 直线摆动组合缸将采用叶片技术的紧凑型旋转驱动器与直线气缸相结合。 由于配备带固定挡块的缓冲组件，这类气缸组合具有高重复定位精度。 其旋转角度可进行无级且精确的调节。 借助简单的滑动导轨或精密的循环滚珠轴承导轨，可实现最高 270° 的摆动角度以及最大 200 mm 的直线行程。
For rotary and swivel/linear units, smooth motion starts with controlled airflow. Valve flow control helps you dial in rotation and the linear stroke portion without redesigning the unit. A speed control valve pneumatic configuration—often a throttle valve pneumatic (a pneumatic throttle)—functions as a practical cylinder speed controller for stable movement and repeatable timing.
If your unit includes a cylinder stroke or magnetic piston sensing, end-position feedback prevents timing drift. Use cylinder sensors as pneumatic actuator limit switches. These cylinder end position sensors, commonly used as limit switches for pneumatic cylinders, detect the piston magnet—typically via a reed switch for pneumatic cylinder—and deliver clear signals at each stop. They serve as pneumatic cylinder end-of-stroke sensors and a robust cylinder limit switch choice.
