Actuator Attachments

Festo Actuator Attachments

Festo actuator attachments deliver the mounting and interface hardware required to optimise the performance and installation of pneumatic and electric actuators and valve assemblies. These accessories are built to support the demanding mechanical, environmental and performance conditions of industrial automation.

These attachments include clevises, rod eyes, swivel flanges, foot‐mount kits, sensor mounting brackets and protective covers — giving machine builders and automation designers the flexibility to adapt actuators and valves to the exact mounting, alignment and load demands of their system.

⭐ Important: Actuator attachments provide secure, precise mounting, alignment flexibility and extended service life of the actuator assembly.

Design & Functionality

Actuator attachments are designed to handle mechanical loads, dynamic motion, alignment offsets and sensor integration. They facilitate coupling between the actuator/valve body and the driven mechanism, absorb minor misalignment, support mounting in various orientations, and integrate with sensors or limit switches.

Available variants include:
• Standard foot-mount kits for actuator bases
• Clevis and rod-eye attachments for push/pull rod linkages
• Swivel flanges/trunnion mounts for pivoting or rotary actuators
• Sensor mounts and mounting kits for proximity or limit switches
• Protective covers and mounting plates for rugged environments

These accessories contribute to simplified installation, better alignment, reduced wear and improved repeatability of motion.

⭐ Important: The broad accessory portfolio simplifies mounting, adapts actuators to complex mechanical requirements and reduces installation time.

Total Crossed Beams

(Applied to the functional coverage of attachment families)

Complete mechanical and mounting interface coverage via multiple accessory types engineered to meet actuator and valve mounting needs.

Ensures full operational capability regardless of actuator type, installation orientation or motion requirement.

Designed to maintain precise alignment, secure mechanical connection and reliable operation under dynamic loads.

Beam Pitch Options

(Translated as: accessory types, mounting interfaces, adaptation variants)

Wide range of accessory options to match actuator size, mounting orientation, motion type and environmental conditions.

Selectable options include:
• Clevis or rod-eye attachment types for linear actuators
• Foot-mount, flange-mount or trunnion-mount kits for rotary and linear types
• Sensor-mount kits for position feedback or limit detection
• Protective covers or mounting plates for dust, debris or harsh conditions
• Material variants (aluminium, steel, stainless, corrosion-resistant) and load ratings

This allows the attachments to be optimized for installation speed, mechanical reliability, space constraint, or environmental robustness as required.

⭐ Important: The wide selection of mounting and interface options ensures seamless adaptation of actuators to nearly any mechanical and installation requirement.

Intrinsic Synchronism

Internal mounting interfaces and accessory designs ensure synchronised motion, accurate alignment and minimal mechanical play. Optional alignment kits or sensor mounts allow enhanced positional stability when high precision or repeated motion is required. Ensures consistent actuator coupling and machine repeatability.

Operational Advantages

• Robust mechanical support for actuator and valve assemblies
• Flexible mounting solutions for diverse installation environments
• Improved motion repeatability, alignment accuracy and system uptime
• Reduced installation effort and faster commissioning
• Wide accessory compatibility with Festo actuator and valve portfolios

Applications: Machine tool automation, packaging systems, handling and pick-and-place robotics, valve actuation in process plants, alignment-critical installations, retrofits and upgrades.
