Product Information
Full details
The Festo Clamping Module EV-10/30-3 is designed for engineers and automation specialists needing precise, repeatable clamping in confined spaces. Its primary benefit is offering a reliable, compact clamping solution that integrates easily into existing systems. A potential consideration is its specific stroke length, which might require careful design to ensure full part engagement. This module features a 10x30 mm clamping area with a 3 mm stroke, a single-acting mechanism with a reset function, and a flat, space-saving design. The hermetically sealed pressure chamber with a diaphragm ensures consistent force and protection from contaminants.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the required air pressure for the EV-10/30-3?
The typical operating range is between 4 to 8 bar (58 to 116 psi), but always refer to the official Festo datasheet for the precise specification.
Can this module be used for extended periods without maintenance?
The hermetically sealed design offers excellent protection and requires minimal internal maintenance. However, regular external checks and ensuring a clean air supply are crucial for long-term reliability.
What does 'single-acting with reset function' mean?
Single-acting means that compressed air is used for one direction of motion (clamping), and a spring or similar mechanism (reset function) returns the module to its original position when the air pressure is released.
How do I determine if the 3 mm stroke is sufficient?
Assess the dimensions of the workpiece and the required clamping range. The 3 mm stroke is suitable for applications where precise, short-range gripping or positioning is needed, often against a fixed stop.
Can this module be mounted in any orientation?
While designed for robust operation, mounting orientation can affect performance and longevity. Consult the Festo installation guidelines for recommended orientations to ensure optimal function.
What is the clamping force of the EV-10/30-3?
The clamping force is dependent on the applied air pressure. Consult the product's technical documentation for a force-pressure chart specific to this model.
Is this module suitable for dusty environments?
Yes, the hermetically sealed diaphragm chamber provides good protection against dust and other contaminants, making it suitable for many industrial environments.
Troubleshooting
Module not clamping
Verify air supply connection and pressure. Check for air leaks. Ensure the actuation signal is correctly sent to the module or its control valve.
Module not returning to rest position
Check for obstructions preventing movement. Ensure adequate air pressure for the reset function. Inspect the air line for blockages.
Inconsistent clamping force
Confirm air supply pressure is stable and within the specified range. Check for leaks in the diaphragm chamber or air lines. Ensure the clamping surface is clean and flat.
Air leakage from the module
Inspect the seals and the diaphragm chamber for damage. Ensure all pneumatic connections are tight. If leakage persists, internal service may be required.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Space-saving design due to its flat and compact form factor.
- Precise and repeatable clamping force for sensitive operations.
- Durable construction with a sealed pressure chamber for longevity.
- Easy integration into various automation systems.
- Reliable single-acting mechanism with a guaranteed reset.
Cons
- Limited stroke length (3 mm) may not suit all applications.
- Requires a clean, filtered air supply for optimal performance.
- Primarily designed for clamping against a fixed stop, limiting some use cases.
- Maintenance may require specialized knowledge of pneumatic systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Mount the module securely to a rigid surface using appropriate fasteners. Connect a clean, dry, and lubricated compressed air supply to the designated port. Ensure the air pressure is within the specified operating range for the EV-10/30-3. The module is designed to clamp against a fixed stop, so ensure this stop is robust and accurately positioned.
Compatibility: This module requires a standard pneumatic air supply (typically 4-8 bar, consult Festo specifications for exact range). It integrates well with standard pneumatic control systems and can be actuated via solenoid valves.
Care: Regular inspection of the air supply and connections is recommended. Periodically check the clamping surface for debris. The hermetically sealed design minimizes internal maintenance, but if external contamination is observed, clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the air supply remains filtered to prevent internal component wear.
