Double-acting mini slide piston Ø 8 mm stroke 40 mm DGST-8-40-Y12A - Festo 8085163

The double-acting mini slide DGST-8-40-Y12A from the Festo DGST series combines drive and guide: the slide travels 40 mm and takes transverse forces of up to 325 N. The twin piston design doubles the effective piston area compared with a single piston of the same diameter.

Benefits

• End position cushioning: external hydraulic cushioning, permissible impact energy 0.18 J
• Theoretical force at 6 bar: 60 N advance, 45 N return
• Recirculating ball bearing guide for transverse forces up to 325 N and torques Mx 3 Nm, My 2.5 Nm, Mz 2.5 Nm
• Travel speed up to 0.5 m/s
• End position range adjustable over 15.8 mm at the front and 16.1 mm at the rear
• Repetition accuracy ≤ 0.02 mm for reproducible end positions

Applications

Typical tasks are feeding, aligning and pick-and-place in assembly and test systems. Any mounting position is possible, mounting is with through-hole, compressed air is supplied via M5. End positions can be sensed with proximity switches.
