Description
241 N on the advance stroke and 207 N on return at 6 bar, plus a 20 mm stroke: the Festo DGST-16-20-E1A is a mini slide for handling axes in tight spaces. Inside the housing, two pistons of 16 mm diameter each act in parallel on the yoke.
Benefits
- Travel speed up to 0.5 m/s
- Recirculating ball bearing guide for transverse forces up to 840 N and torques Mx 11.3 Nm, My 7 Nm, Mz 7 Nm
- End position cushioning: elastomer cushioning at both ends, permissible impact energy 0.15 J
- Repetition accuracy ≤ 0.3 mm for reproducible end positions
- Theoretical force at 6 bar: 241 N advance, 207 N return
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.
