Festo Pneumatic Guided Cylinder 12mm Bore, 20mm Stroke, Double Acting, Through Hole Mount, 10 bar DFM-12-20-P-A-KF

The Festo DFM-12-20-P-A-KF pneumatic guided cylinder is engineered for reliable linear motion control in high-load industrial environments. With a 12mm bore and 20mm stroke, this double acting cylinder combines both drive and precise guidance within a single, compact housing, making it a versatile choice for applications that require both force and guidance accuracy.

This cylinder features a robust wrought aluminium alloy body, designed to withstand torque and lateral external forces commonly encountered in clamping, lifting, and stopping operations. The recirculating ball bearing guide rods ensure stable, low-friction movement, particularly beneficial where torque loads and side forces are present. Integrated cushioning plates made from elastomer help minimize noise and extend operational life during cyclic operation.

The DFM-12-20-P-A-KF model supports flexible mounting, with air supply ports on both the top and side of the actuator, accommodating various installation requirements. The through hole mount design ensures secure attachment in assembly lines or automation systems. This guided cylinder is maintenance-free and suitable for automated processes where reliability and long service intervals are critical.

Applications include clamping components for further processing, lifting heavy loads dynamically, and stopping items in high-speed production lines. The product can reliably stop loads of up to 150 kg and is capable of precise position control when paired with compatible proximity sensors via the integrated actuator slots.

Key benefits of this Festo Pneumatic Guided Cylinder include its compact and rigid construction, high resistance to torque, operational pressures up to 10 bar, and compatibility with demanding cleanroom (Class 6) and industrial standards (ISO 8573-1:2010, VDMA24364-B1/B2-L, RoHS). Its slide bearing design, single piston rod with M5 thread, and resilient operating temperature range from -5°C to 60°C further broaden its use cases across industrial sectors.

Commonly used in industrial automation, material handling, assembly systems, and advanced electronics or mechanical manufacturing environments, this Festo cylinder supports efficient and cost-effective operation.
