Patent number: 11725675Abstract: A fluid actuated linear drive which includes a drive housing and a drive member which is movable relative to the drive housing. The drive force which is necessary for producing the drive movement is provided by a drive fluid which can be fed and discharged through housing channels of the drive housing. The housing channels each with a lateral coupling opening run out at a housing side surface of the drive housing. An L-shaped attachment coupling part which in the position of use is assembled on the drive housing has a coupling limb which is assigned to a housing rear surface and which is provided with two axial coupling openings. The axial coupling openings are in connection with lateral coupling openings via coupling channels. Hence there is the possibility of using the axial coupling openings for the feed and discharge of the drive fluid.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Festo SE & Co. KGInventors: Jürgen Gückel, Simone Kopp, Ulrich Diener, Mattias-Manuel Speckle, Andreas Trauschweizer, Bernhard Winter

Patent number: 11549527Abstract: A fluid actuated linear drive includes a drive housing and a drive member which is movable between two stroke end positions. The drive member has a drive unit with a drive piston which divides off two drive chambers from one another, the drive chambers via two housing channels being connected to axial housing coupling openings which are arranged on a housing rear side. A multi-function module is built onto the housing rear side in a position of use and includes components of an external end position setting device for the drive member and is furthermore provided with module block channel systems which communicate with the housing channels and can be used for the feed and discharge of a drive fluid when the multifunction module is built onto the drive housing in the position of use.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Festo SE & Co.

Patent number: 7973435Abstract: An electrical linear drive device comprises an outer housing consisting of a housing tube and two housing covers disposed at the ends thereof The outer housing defines in the interior thereof a receiving space, into which the drive part of a drive unit in the form of an electrodynamic linear direct drive like a cartridge is placed, and an output drive rod extends outward through the front housing cover. From a drive coil arrangement of the drive unit an electrical operation cable extends to an central electrical interface means. The electrical interface means is disposed laterally on the housing tube and the operation cable and the signal cable extend in a cable channel formed in the wall of the housing tube.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Festo AG & Co. KGInventors: Matthias Finkbeiner, Jurgen Guckel

Patent number: 7834488Abstract: The invention proposes an electric linear drive unit with an electric linear motor that is arranged in or on a basic housing. A sensor device arranged in or on the basic housing serves for determining at least one position of a driving element that is driven by the linear motor. Electric lines are routed from a coil system of the linear motor and from the sensor device to a common connecting point on the basic housing through at least one duct that extends within the basic housing, wherein said electric lines extend through the connecting point to a connector that is arranged at the connecting point and contains connecting means for producing a connection with external lines or cables. The connecting point is sealed by means of an insulating casting- or injection-molding compound at least in the region in which the lines extend from the connecting point.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Festo AG & Co.

Publication number: 20080258568Abstract: An electrical linear drive device with an electric linear motor held in a base housing is proposed that has a long-coil system arranged in a motor housing, and a substantially shorter armature that drives a drive element linearly via a drive rod extending to the outside. Two guide rods running in base housing, and a position measuring rod cooperating with at least one position sensor for position detection that plunges, depending on its position, into base housing are connected to drive element.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2008Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: FESTO AG & COInventors: Matthias Finkbeiner, Jurgen Guckel, Hava Yigit
