Double-acting mini slide piston Ø 16 mm stroke 40 mm DGSL-12-40-P1A - Festo 543972
The Festo DGSL-12-40-P1A mini slide moves attached parts over a 40 mm stroke and delivers 121 N on the advance stroke at 6 bar. The ball cage guide absorbs transverse forces up to 1142 N without loading the piston rod. The slide reaches its end positions with a repetition accuracy of ±0.01 mm.

Description
Where small loads have to be moved precisely along a guide, the mini slide DGSL-12-40-P1A is the right unit: 40 mm stroke, piston Ø 16 mm and 121 N advance force at 6 bar, combined with a ball cage guide.
Benefits
- Ball cage guide for transverse forces up to 1142 N and torques Mx 18 Nm, My 11 Nm, Mz 11 Nm
- Travel speed up to 0.8 m/s
- End position range adjustable over 29 mm at the front and 25.5 mm at the rear
- Theoretical force at 6 bar: 121 N advance, 104 N return
- End position cushioning: flexible cushioning rings with a fixed stop, permissible impact energy 0.06 J
- Repetition accuracy ±0.01 mm for reproducible end positions
Applications
The slide is used in placement, assembly and packaging systems where short strokes with high guide accuracy are needed. Mounting with through-hole, any mounting position. End positions can be sensed with proximity switches.
