Festo DFM Series Pneumatic Guided Cylinder, 40mm Bore size, 160mm Stroke Length - DFM-40-160-P-A-GF, Numeric Part Number:170869
This pneumatic guided cylinder is a guided actuator designed for precise linear motion in industrial automation environments. It operates as a double-acting cylinder with guided support to control lateral loads during stroke, suitable for installations requiring guided push to pull movement under compressed air.
Features & Benefits
• 40mm bore delivers Compact force for confined automation cells
• 160mm stroke provides repeatable travel for positioning tasks
• Elastomer cushioning reduces end-impact forces for smoother stops
• Ball bearing and plain bearing guide minimise lateral play for accuracy
• 10 bar maximum pressure enables higher actuation force where required
• Operating range -20 to 80°C supports varied thermal environments
Applications
• Suitable for pick-and-place stations and panel handling
• Ideal for load-bearing linear transfers in assembly lines
• Used for clamping or pressing operations requiring guided motion
• Can be used for conveyor sorting where lateral guidance is needed
What mounting options are available for installation flexibility?
The unit uses through-hole mounting to allow secure attachment to fixture plates and machine frames.
Which piston rod thread standards does it accept for fittings?
It is compatible with ISO 1179-1 and ISO 228-1 thread standards for straightforward connection of end fittings and sensors.
How Compact is the guided cylinder for integration into machines?
The actuator has a low-profile height of 54mm and a width of 120mm to aid integration into constrained machine layouts.
What is the typical mass to consider for dynamic calculations?
The cylinder weighs 4.5 kg and should be included when calculating system inertia and drive requirements.
