To precisely handle materials, use this clamping actuator from Festo. It works in any position, making it suitable for robotic arms. For versatility, a double-acting mechanism means you can control linear movements both forwards and backwards or up and down. With a clamping force between 271 and 716N, the unit dependably holds its position. It also features a swivel motion for turning rotating arms and similar devices 90° to the right. The actuator's position is detectable with a proximity sensor to give you maximum control.

• Maximum operating pressure of 10 bar for use in high-power systems
• Suitable for through-hole and internal mounting for installation flexibility
• Wide operating temperature range between -10°C and +80°C for use in demanding environments

• Materials handling
• Robotics systems
• Food and beverage processing equipment
• Agricultural machinery

As it features anodised aluminium housing, this device is resistant to corrosion and wear. The piston is made from high alloy steel, so it's tough and the seals are made from nitrile rubber to withstand compression and contact with oils.
