Description
The Festo guided drive DFM-12-40-P-A-GF combines a double-acting cylinder with a plain-bearing guide and yoke. At 6 bar it delivers 68 N on the advance stroke and 51 N on the return stroke, with a stroke of 40 mm.
Benefits
- 68 N advance force and 51 N on the return stroke at 6 bar, piston Ø 12 mm
- Payload up to 31 N at 25 mm centre-of-gravity distance from the yoke plate
- Plain-bearing guide for torque loads up to Mx 0.65 Nm
- Elastic cushioning at both ends, impact energy in end positions up to 0.07 J
- Position detection via proximity switch, M5 port
- Corrosion resistance class CRC 1, ambient temperature -20 to 80 °C
Applications
Typical tasks include lifting and lowering components, ejecting workpieces and stop or separating functions in assembly and test stations. The 40 mm stroke and the payload of 31 N set the frame for sizing.
