Description
The mini slide DGST-8-40-E1A makes a separate guide on the cylinder unnecessary. The recirculating ball bearing guide is built in, the stroke is 40 mm with a 8 mm piston. Two pistons working in parallel drive the yoke.
Benefits
- Theoretical force at 6 bar: 60 N advance, 45 N return
- End position cushioning: elastomer cushioning at both ends, permissible impact energy 0.03 J
- Repetition accuracy ≤ 0.3 mm for reproducible end positions
- Travel speed up to 0.5 m/s
- Recirculating ball bearing guide for transverse forces up to 325 N and torques Mx 3 Nm, My 2.5 Nm, Mz 2.5 Nm
Applications
As a compact linear axis, the DGST-8-40-E1A works in feeding technology and small parts assembly. Compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4], 1.5 to 8 bar, port M5. End positions can be sensed with proximity switches.
