Festo Fittings That Deliver A Long Service Life

Pneumatic fittings from Festo are a benchmark for quality. Every product from Festo undergoes rigorous testing to assess its durability for a long service life. Comprehensive endurance tests at every stage of the product life cycle ensure fittings leave the factory able to deliver longevity and reliability in strenuous conditions. Rather than checking products at the last minute, Festo subjects all fittings to demanding tests from the outset, so they can optimise their products to achieve greater efficiency at a realistic price.

Two types of tests are used to evaluate product quality:

1) Long-Term Function Tests: these, including service life tests carried out to ISO 19973, assess the product’s performance when subjected to continuous operation under the same load.

2) Service Life Tests: to determine whether the product will function after a given number of switching cycles or a certain running performance.
