Description
The Festo guided drive DFM-40-125-P-A-KF combines a double-acting cylinder with a recirculating ball bearing guide and yoke. At 6 bar it delivers 754 N on the advance stroke and 686 N on the return stroke, with a stroke of 125 mm.
Benefits
- 754 N advance force and 686 N on the return stroke at 6 bar, piston Ø 40 mm
- Payload up to 161 N at 50 mm centre-of-gravity distance from the yoke plate
- Recirculating ball bearing guide for torque loads up to Mx 8.64 Nm, lateral forces Fy 1130 N and Fz 1130 N
- Copper and PTFE-free, RoHS compliant
- Elastic cushioning at both ends, impact energy in end positions up to 0.7 J
- Position detection via proximity switch, G1/8 port
Applications
Typical tasks include lifting and lowering components, ejecting workpieces and stop or separating functions in assembly and test stations. The 125 mm stroke and the payload of 161 N set the frame for sizing.
