Drives with Guides
Pneumatic Actuators
Festo drives with guides comprise more than 700 items and combine the pneumatic actuator with an integrated guide to absorb transverse and moment loads. The range includes mini guide cylinders of the DFC series, among others.
The guide prevents the load from twisting and takes up lateral forces that a plain piston rod cylinder should not carry. A distinction is made between guidance via guide rods and via a carriage.

Drives with carriageDrives with carriage for planar load support
Drives with guide rods parallel rods guide the load and absorb transverse and moment loads.
Drives with carriage the guided carriage provides a flat mounting surface for the payload.
Guided drives handle positioning, feed and assembly tasks in which the load must be secured against twisting. Selection depends on stroke, permissible transverse load and guide type.
