Description
When a load has to move without rotating and without an extra guide, the guided drive DFM-12-25-P-A-KF is the compact choice. Piston Ø 12 mm, 25 mm stroke and recirculating ball bearing guide are combined in a housing made of wrought aluminium alloy.
Benefits
- 68 N advance force and 51 N on the return stroke at 6 bar, piston Ø 12 mm
- Payload up to 23 N at 25 mm centre-of-gravity distance from the yoke plate
- Recirculating ball bearing guide for torque loads up to Mx 0.66 Nm, lateral forces Fy 193 N and Fz 193 N
- Copper and PTFE-free, RoHS compliant
- Elastic cushioning at both ends, impact energy in end positions up to 0.07 J
- Position detection via proximity switch, M5 port
Applications
Fields of use are assembly machines, feeding systems and test fixtures. The operating pressure of 2 to 10 bar and the M5 port suit standard compressed air networks with air treated to ISO 8573-1.
