Accessories for Electric Drives

Festo Accessories for Electric Drives

Festo's accessories for electric drives form a comprehensive portfolio of complementary components engineered to support electric motion systems—whether linear axes, rotary drives, electric cylinders or servo-motor assemblies. These accessories provide mechanical mounting solutions, electrical connectivity, sensor integration, safety add-ons, and retrofit adaptability, allowing you to build complete and optimized electric drive systems.

Designed to streamline installation, reduce downtime and maximize flexibility, these accessories are ideal additions for machine builders and system integrators seeking efficient electric motion solutions.

⭐ Important: These accessories deliver plug-&-play mounting and connectivity, sensor and safety adaptation, and retrofit flexibility, enhancing the performance and installability of electric drive systems.

Design & Functionality

• The accessory range covers items such as:
  • Mounting flanges and coupling sets for servo motors and gearboxes, enabling secure and precise mechanical attachments.  
  • Connection kits and cables specifically designed for electric drives (e.g., servo drives and motors) which simplify wiring and reduce installation effort. 
  • Sensor brackets, mounting plates and adapter sets for integrating position or limit sensors into electric actuators and axes, increasing automation versatility. 
  • Safety and retrofit modules allowing electric drives originally designed for pneumatics to integrate advanced motion control and connectivity.
• With standardized mounting dimensions, pre-configured kits and modular design, the accessories reduce both engineering effort and installation time.

⭐ Important: The accessory components are designed for easy integration, reduced design overhead, and high compatibility with electric drive systems from Festo.

Total Crossed Beams

(Translated as full system coverage across mechanical, electrical and sensing integration)

• The accessory portfolio spans mechanical mounting, electrical connectivity and sensing/safety add-ons—covering the full scope of electric drive integration.
• This broad coverage ensures complete system readiness, allowing machine builders to pick from a single supplier for all drive-related accessories.

Beam Pitch Options

(Translated as variation in accessory categories and compatibility)

• Accessories available for various drive sizes, power classes and formats—from compact servo motors to larger multi-axis gantries.
• Options cover everything from connection kits for low-voltage motors (e.g., 50 W class) up to high-power axes and large industrial drives. 
  ⭐ Important: The breadth of accessory options enables you to build solutions for compact, light-duty drives or heavy industrial axes, all using the same accessory ecosystem.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• Accessories are engineered to match Festo’s electric drive platforms structurally and functionally—mounting, wiring, sensing and safety integration all come from a synchronized system.
• This ensures fast commissioning, reliable interoperability, and minimized mismatch risks in machine installation.

Operational Advantages

• Reduced installation time thanks to plug-and-play mounting kits and pre-configured connections.
• Improved machine reliability via optimized wiring, better sensor placement and standardized mounting solutions.
• Flexibility for upgrades and retrofits, enabling pneumatic-to-electric conversions or drive replacements with minimal re-engineering.
• Applications: Servo-motor mounting, gear-motor coupling, electric cylinder integration, handling modules, retrofitting pneumatic systems to electric, automation upgrade projects.
