Festo Pneumatic Guided Cylinder DFM-12-10-P-A-GF

Festo DFM series pneumatic guided cylinders are double acting drive and guide unit in a single housing. Four plain slide bearings on the large diameter guide rods provide high rigidity suitable for high loads. Designed for high load pneumatic applications such as clamping, stopping, material handling and lifting. The sturdy and precise aluminium construction is maintenance free and highly resistant to torque and lateral external forces. A compact design incorporates the piston rod as part of the guide body.

The DFM series of guided actuators have flexible cushioning plates to reduce noise during operation and increase service life. Integrated slots on the actuator body allow for incorporating proximity sensors to measure the linear motion of the piston. Air supply ports on both the top and side of the cylinder provide flexible positioning options.

• Flexible cushioning plates reduce noise during operation and increase service life

Need an easy way to manoeuvre things into place? This Festo pneumatic guided cylinder is the reliable workhorse you're looking for. It uses pressurised air between 2 and 10 bar to move its piston by 10mm with a high maximum force of 240N. Because the drive and guide units are enclosed in a single housing, the moving parts of this cylinder are kept under cover, cutting down the risk of damage and the need for maintenance. Built-in elastic cushioning plates reduce noise to minimise disruption.

• Multiple mounting options to suit use in a wide variety of applications
• Stands up to challenging conditions thanks to its broad operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C
• Abrasion-resistant NBR seals ensure a long, leak-free service life
• Pneumatic port has a standardised M5 thread, for wide compatibility

• Automation and control networks
• Production lines
• Industrial processing

Yes. The two ports in this cylinder allow air to flow in both directions, meaning the piston extends and retracts accurately, without needing a spring return mechanism.

This cylinder weighs in at just 344g, so it doesn't put a strain on your setup.
