Flat cylinder, double-acting, Ø 18 mm stroke 160 mm DZF-18-160-A-P-A - Festo 161244
Rotation-proof without an external guide thanks to the oval piston, 153 N advancing force at 6 bar and 160 mm stroke. The Festo DZF-18-160-A-P-A fits where a round cylinder takes up too much space.

Description
The flat cylinder DZF-18-160-A-P-A fits 160 mm of stroke into a flat housing and pushes with 153 N at 6 bar. Its oval piston limits piston rod rotation to 1.2°, so a separate guide is often unnecessary.
Benefits
- Oval piston prevents rotation: the piston rod turns by no more than 1.2° and takes up to 0.2 Nm of torque
- Theoretical force at 6 bar: 153 N advance, 123 N return
- Elastic cushioning rings at both ends (P)
- Prepared for proximity switches to sense the end positions
- Operating pressure 1 to 10 bar
- Air connection M5
Applications
Typical tasks for the DZF-18-160-A-P-A are clamping, stopping and ejecting in fixtures and assembly stations with no room for a round cylinder. Its 160 mm stroke covers short travel.
