Festo DARD-L1-18-S, Moment Compensator for Drives Attachment

The Festo DARD-L1-18-S is a moment compensator built to reduce unwanted torque and misalignment when a drive is moving a load. It helps the system absorb small angular shifts so the drive doesn’t experience unnecessary stress. This keeps motion smooth and prevents wear on connected components, especially in setups where loads don’t stay perfectly aligned. It is primarily used in automation systems where reliability matters more than fine adjustments or complicated tuning.

What Benefits Does It Offer to Users?

The compensator allows slight movement in multiple directions, letting the drive stay protected while still transferring force effectively. It prevents the binding or jerking that usually happens when a load pushes sideways on the drive shaft.

• Reduces bending stress.
• Improves the lifespan of drive components.
• Allows controlled angular flexibility.
• Compact, lightweight design.
• Designed for direct attachment to drives.
• Works without adjustment or maintenance.

Designed for Smooth Drive Movement

The DARD-L1-18-S fits easily into the attachment point between the drive and the load. It doesn’t require special setup or calibration. Once mounted, it simply takes up mechanical shock and minor angle shifts during operation. It keeps the system steady without adding complexity.

Usage Recommendations of the Festo Moment Compensator for Drives Attachment

Anywhere a drive is vulnerable to side loads or twisting forces, this compensator helps keep things running smoothly.

• Automated handling systems
• Linear drive assemblies
• Pick-and-place mechanisms
• General machine-building applications
