Getting a valve out of a vehicle isn’t too hard – it’s putting the new one in that requires more care. A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

Today’s manufacturers routinely demand exacting precision and split-second timing from their high-speed production systems. And that has automation engineers constantly on the lookout for ...

At SEMICON West, Festo featured a range of solutions based on Controlled Pneumatics, a new generation of digital-pneumatic valve technology that advances pressure, flow, and motion regulation to ...
