Festo control offers membrane contraction system-fluid muscle, based on the principle of human muscle. The overall weight of fluidic muscle is only about one-tenth of the weight of a metal cylinder of equal inner diameter. The product range includes completely fabricated fluidic muscles with connectors. The initial programme includes 10, 20 and 40mm inner diameters with lengths of up to 9,000 mm. Suitable accessories are available for attaching the parts to be moved to the muscle, such as rod clevis and flexible couplings.
