Real insights from the industry

Festo supplies electrical components  across a wide range of industries and machines. When part of a machine doesn't function as intended or malfunctions, we investigate to determine why the system has not met the expected performance.

We collect and share these valuable insights with our customers to help them avoid similar problems in the future..

So for example, before your design your next electrical positioning system, remember to:
  • Program a "lubrication cycle."
  • Calculate the correct gear reduction ratio.
  • Consider the impact of vibrations on performance.

Whether you're an OEM, machine builder, design engineer or maintenance professional, this guide empowers you to make smarter decisions and deliver more robust automation solutions. Don't miss out, download today!
