Pneumatic rotary indexing tables (also known as rotary cam tables) enable precise, indexed rotary movements for efficient workpiece automation. The mechanical design used by Friedemann Wagner GmbH utilizes a rack-and-pinion drive with automatic locking and disengagement at the stop. This allows a single valve to control the system, significantly reducing space requirements, maintenance effort, and costs.
The pneumatic rotary actuator uses a rack-and-pinion drive. Upon request, it is available with hydraulic shock absorbers for precise and gentle end-position movements. By arranging the shock absorbers and stop screws on one side, all interference contours are located in one place, offering maximum flexibility in the tightest spaces. In addition, variants with integrated air and signal routing through the shaft prevent interfering external cables, while the robust system delivers torques of up to 24 Nm depending on the version.
Pneumatic stroke units from Friedemann Wagner are robust linear modules specifically developed for fast, precise vertical movements in short-cycle automation processes. In addition to finely adjustable stroke lengths of 10 to 100 mm, optional hydraulic shock absorbers as well as ball bushing or cross-roller guides ensure bounce-free and highly load-bearing positioning. Thanks to easy mounting using centering rings and flexible sensor options, the units can be quickly and compactly integrated into existing systems.
The pneumatic parallel grippers in the PGM series from Friedemann Wagner are robust, self-centering components for precise gripping processes in automation and mechanical engineering. Various sizes and equipment options are available from stock, including integrated C-slots and an optional gripping force lock. For easy process monitoring, mounts for inductive sensors are already integrated, reliably detecting the position of the gripper jaws during operation.
Friedemann Wagner’s standard range includes precise, durable pneumatic linear units in various housing sizes, stroke lengths, and linear guide types. The housings are milled from high-strength, anodized aluminum for long-lasting use. The linear actuators can easily be fitted with sensors, shock absorbers, or adapter plates, e.g. for grippers.

Intermediate positions are designed as auxiliary cylinders that are flanged to the swivel units to approach an adjustable third position (usually at approx. 90°). Depending on the series, the module can be equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers. In some cases, bleeding is required; when the cylinders act directly against each other, this results in a correspondingly reduced total torque.
The ZWP-6-VEN pneumatic add-on module is part of Friedemann Wagner's pick-and-place modular system and enables precise access to an additional level for workpiece pickup or delivery. The intermediate position, which docks directly between LEN-6 and VEN-6, comes factory-equipped with a shock absorber and sensor and covers continuously adjustable stroke lengths of up to 300 mm. The pneumatic supply runs seamlessly through the module into the VEN linear unit, including four additional integrated air pass-throughs.
