Double-acting mini slide piston Ø 8 mm stroke 50 mm DGST-8-50-E1A - Festo 8078837
For guided strokes of 50 mm, the Festo DGST-8-50-E1A produces 60 N forward and 45 N on return at 6 bar. The recirculating ball bearing guide absorbs transverse forces up to 350 N without loading the piston rod. The slide reaches its end positions with a repetition accuracy of ≤ 0.3 mm.

Description
60 N on the advance stroke and 45 N on return at 6 bar, plus a 50 mm stroke: the Festo DGST-8-50-E1A is a mini slide for handling axes in tight spaces. Two pistons working in parallel drive the yoke.
Benefits
- Repetition accuracy ≤ 0.3 mm for reproducible end positions
- Theoretical force at 6 bar: 60 N advance, 45 N return
- Recirculating ball bearing guide for transverse forces up to 350 N and torques Mx 3.2 Nm, My 3 Nm, Mz 3 Nm
- Travel speed up to 0.5 m/s
- End position cushioning: elastomer cushioning at both ends, permissible impact energy 0.03 J
Applications
As a compact linear axis, the DGST-8-50-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.
