Valves & Valve Terminals: A diverse range—from solenoid and directional control valves to modular valve manifolds—facilitating reliable actuation and system scalability.

Auxiliary Components: Includes air preparation units, silencers, air reservoirs, and compressed air tools to ensure smooth and efficient pneumatic operation.

Sensor Innovation — Intelligence Meets Automation

Festo’s sensor portfolio elevates automation through precision and feedback:

Cylinder & Proximity Sensors: Tailored to detect piston positions via magnetic or reed technologies; ideal for binary feedback with standardized 24 V signals.

Inductive Proximity Sensors: Non-contact detection of metallic objects with high durability, switching frequency, and protection.

Position Transmitters: Provide analog, contactless position feedback—ideal for quality control, process monitoring, and precise motion tasks.

Pressure & Vacuum Sensors: Monitor system pressure with options for analog, digital, or IO-Link outputs; includes models like SDE5 and SPAN, offering convenient teach functions and flexible installation. FESTO Pressure switch.

Flow Sensors: Enable flow monitoring for energy efficiency, leak detection, and process condition monitoring.

Integrated Control – Controlled Pneumatics: Combines sensors, control algorithms, and proportional technology to form closed-loop systems that self-adjust pressure and flow to maintain precision and efficiency.
