Drives with Guides

Drives with guide rods

Festo drives with guide rods are guided pneumatic cylinders in which parallel guide rods absorb lateral forces and provide anti-rotation for the load. The range comprises more than 354 items, including DFC mini guided cylinders.

The guidance increases stiffness and accuracy compared with plain piston rod cylinders and absorbs side loads. The DFC examples show small piston diameters with graded short strokes in plain-bearing (GF) and ball-guided (KF) versions.

How to choose Drives with guide rods

What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.

Typical applications

Guided drives with guide rods are used in handling, assembly and gripping technology where side loads occur or the load must be prevented from rotating. The rod guidance provides defined motion and high stiffness within a limited installation space.
