Festo EV-15/40-4, Mechanical Clamping Module

The Festo EV-15/40-4 from the EV Series is a mechanical clamping module designed to hold, lock, or secure moving components in industrial automation systems. It is commonly used on linear guides, slides, and axes where movement needs to be stopped and held in position without relying on continuous air pressure. This unit is built for controlled, repeatable clamping in production environments where stability and positioning matter more than speed or complexity.

Exceptional Advantages of Buying the Festo EV Series Clamping Module

The EV-15/40-4 clamps directly onto a guide or shaft to prevent unwanted movement. Once engaged, it mechanically holds the load, helping maintain position even if air pressure is lost. This makes it useful for safety-critical and load-holding applications.

• Mechanical holding principle.
• Designed for linear motion systems.
• Holds a position without a constant energy supply.
• Often used as a holding or safety element.

Design and Build Characteristics

This clamping module is compact and solidly built, making it ideal for tight machine layouts. The housing is designed to withstand repeated clamping cycles without deformation, which helps maintain a consistent holding force over time.

Typical Industrial Applications

The EV Series clamping modules are typically found in:

• Automated assembly machines
• Linear axes and positioning systems
• Vertical loads requiring secure holding
• Pick-and-place systems
• Safety holding functions in pneumatic setups
