Description
Where small loads have to be moved precisely along a guide, the mini slide DGSL-12-40-Y3A 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
- 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: progressive shock absorbers at both ends, permissible impact energy 2 J
- Repetition accuracy ±0.01 mm for reproducible end positions
- Travel speed up to 0.8 m/s
- Ball cage guide for transverse forces up to 1142 N and torques Mx 18 Nm, My 11 Nm, Mz 11 Nm
Applications
The DGSL-12-40-Y3A works as a lifting or transverse axis in handling systems, also in combination with grippers. Port M5, operation at 1 to 8 bar and 0 to 60 °C ambient temperature. End positions can be sensed with proximity switches.
