Designers: Festo in-house, Festo Product Design, Festo AG & Co. KG., Esslingen, Germany
Manufacturer: Festo AG & Co. KG., Esslingen, Germany

Pneumatic rotary drives with twin pistons operate on the rack-and-pinion principle. This converts linear motion into a rotary motion. The new generation DRRD offers an innovative bearing system with large-diameter bearings, an integrated pinion and direct fitting into the housing which allows very high robustness and accuracy to be achieved. Available in a variety of sizes with torque ratings from 0.2 to110 Nm, the DRRD has a wide range of applications in the fields of handling and assembly technology.

The minimalist design visually emphasises the direction of motion of the gear racks.
