Product Information
Full details
This Festo clamping module (EV-20/180-5) is designed for industrial automation professionals needing a compact, single-acting clamping solution for precise positioning against a stop. Its primary benefit is efficient operation in space-constrained environments, thanks to its flat and hermetically sealed design. A potential caveat for users is its single-acting nature, requiring a return spring for retraction. Key features include a 20x180 mm clamping area, a 5 mm stroke, a diaphragm-fitted pressure chamber, and a reliable reset function, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications.

FAQs
What is the clamping area of the EV-20/180-5?
The clamping area is 20x180 mm.
What is the stroke length of this module?
The stroke length is 5 mm.
Is this module double-acting or single-acting?
This is a single-acting clamping module.
Can this module be used in wet environments?
While the module is hermetically sealed, it is best suited for clean environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or liquids.
What type of compressed air should be used?
Use clean, dry, or lightly lubricated compressed air. Ensure it meets the specifications for Festo pneumatic components.
How do I reset the clamping action?
For this single-acting module, the reset is typically achieved by releasing the air pressure, allowing an internal or external spring mechanism to return the module to its original position.
What is the part number for this specific clamping module?
The part number is EV-20/180-5. The Festo internal model/product code is 13293.
Troubleshooting
Clamping module does not extend
Check pneumatic supply line for air pressure and connection. Ensure the control signal is correctly applied. Verify that the clamping area is not obstructed.
Clamping force is weak or inconsistent
Verify air pressure is within the specified operating range. Check for air leaks in the pneumatic line or module seals. Ensure the workpiece is making firm contact with the stop.
Module fails to retract
Ensure the pressure is released from the pneumatic line. If it is a single-acting module, verify that the internal or external reset spring is functional and not obstructed.
Visible signs of wear or damage
Discontinue use immediately and inspect for leaks. Contact Festo support or replace the module if significant damage is observed.
