Festo
538242
Clamping unit KEC-16-S
The Festo 538242 is an industrial component engineered to stop linear movement utilizing a clamping mechanism at both ends that clamps with a spring and releases with compressed air at a minimum release pressure of 3.8 bar within a working pressure range of 3.8 to 8 bar. Designed for a 16 mm round material to be clamped, this unit delivers a static holding force of 1,300 N, achieves a performance level of Kat. 1, PLc with IFA authorization, and features a G1/8 release connection with NBR and TPE-U(PU) seals. Operating on compressed air according to ISO8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] across an ambient temperature of -10 to 60 °C, the 1,860 g assembly accommodates any assembly position and mounts via internal thread or accessories.
