Festo Pneumatic Guided Cylinder 40mm Bore 160mm Stroke Double Acting Elastomer Cushioning DFM Series DFM-40-160-P-A-GF

Festo DFM-40-160-P-A-GF pneumatic guided cylinder is designed for industrial automation requiring precise linear motion and guided support to control lateral loads. Featuring a 40mm bore size and a 160mm stroke, this double acting guided actuator offers smooth operation with elastomer cushioning that reduces end-impact forces. The cylinder integrates ball bearing and plain bearing guides to minimize lateral play and increase accuracy under repeated travel conditions.

Operating at a maximum pressure of 10 bar, this pneumatic guided cylinder is suited for environments with varying thermal conditions ranging from -20°C to 80°C. The unit incorporates through hole mounting, facilitating stable attachment to fixture plates or machine frames and is compatible with piston rod thread standards ISO 1179-1 and ISO 228-1, ensuring easy connectivity with end fittings and sensors.

The compact design, with dimensions of 279mm in length, 120mm width, and 54mm height, allows integration into restricted machine layouts while maintaining effective functionality. Weighing 4.5 kg, it is optimized for use in applications such as pick-and-place stations, panel handling, load-bearing linear transfers on assembly lines, clamping or pressing operations requiring guided motion, and conveyor sorting where lateral guidance is essential.

Compact 40mm bore size delivers force suited for confined automation spaces. 160mm stroke length provides repeatable positioning accuracy. Elastomer cushioning safeguards against impact forces during operation. Ball bearing and plain bearing guides ensure precise lateral guidance.

Maximum operating pressure of 10 bar enables higher actuation force. Through hole mounting offers flexible and secure installation options. Compatible with ISO 1179-1 and ISO 228-1 piston rod thread standards. Operates effectively within temperature range of -20°C to 80°C.

Compact dimensions with 120mm width and 54mm height ease integration. Lightweight design with 4.5 kg mass supports dynamic system calculations.
