Festo is showcasing three new, exciting concepts for the industrial application of superconductor technology at the Hanover Messe 2016.
With these exhibits, superconductors enable the contact-free transfer of carrier plates in the horizontal plane and their transport across a surface of water, and they allow a gripper to be used in suspension and an object to be moved within an enclosed liquid-filled tube. The unique characteristics of superconductors come to the fore here by making low-energy, efficient motion possible in suspension – even beyond walls or through media.
