Festo
178468
Clamping unit KPE-20
The Festo 178468 industrial component utilizes a tilting plate structural design with a single-end piston rod to provide a static holding force of 2000 N for holding and stopping movement. Operating at pressures from 0.3 MPa to 1 MPa (3 bar to 10 bar / 43.5 psi to 145 psi), the unit features active clamping on both sides via spring force, while release is achieved with 0.3 MPa (3 bar) of compressed air through a G1/8 connection. Weighing 930 g, this RoHS-compliant part functions in ambient temperatures between -10 °C and 80 °C and accommodates a 20 mm round material to be clamped.

Request a QuoteWhy no listed price?
Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.
