Collection:Festo Stopper Cylinders And Feed Separators

Stopper cylinders are pneumatic cylinders designed for the cushioned or uncushioned stopping of movements in machines or workpiece carriers on transport systems. These cylinders are capable of stopping loads of up to approximately 800 kg when cushioning is employed. They are primarily used to stop or block moving parts, such as loads in an assembly line, ensuring precise and reliable halting of motion to maintain workflow efficiency and safety.

Feed separators are essential for stopping, cushioning, or holding one or more accumulating workpiece carriers at defined contact surfaces. They play a crucial role in manufacturing automation by separating individual objects from a continuous series for process-related reasons. This separation is vital for the partitioning of workpieces, allowing for controlled and orderly processing. Pneumatic feed separators achieve this separating stop function through the supply of compressed air, ensuring consistent and reliable operation.

When selecting stopper cylinders and feed separators, consider the load capacity, the type of cushioning required, and the specific application needs. For stopper cylinders, the ability to handle heavy loads with cushioning is a key factor, while for feed separators, the precision in separating and holding workpieces is crucial. Understanding these functionalities and applications will help in choosing the right product to enhance your transport systems and manufacturing automation processes.
