Product Information

Full details

This Festo Mini Slide is designed for automation engineers and machine builders requiring precise, compact linear motion. Its key benefit is delivering significant force in a space-efficient package, ideal for confined automated systems. A caveat to consider is its suitability for applications within its specified operating pressure limits. This double-acting pneumatic actuator features a 25mm piston diameter and an 80mm stroke, utilizing elastic cushioning for smooth operation and offering compatibility with proximity sensors for position monitoring.

FAQs

What is the maximum operating pressure for this Mini Slide?

The maximum operating pressure for this specific model (DGST-25-80-PA) is 8 bar.

Can I use this actuator without proximity sensors?

Yes, the actuator will function as a pneumatic cylinder. Proximity sensors are optional for position feedback.

How do I calculate the actual force output?

The provided force is theoretical. Actual force will be lower due to friction. For precise calculations, consult the official Festo documentation or perform empirical testing under load.

Does this actuator require lubrication?

This series is typically designed for operation without additional lubrication, provided the compressed air is clean and dry. Refer to the specific product datasheet for confirmation.

What is the role of the elastic cushioning rings?

The elastic cushioning rings absorb the impact at the end of each stroke, reducing noise, vibration, and wear on the actuator.

Can I mount this actuator horizontally or vertically?

Yes, the Mini Slide can typically be mounted in any orientation, but it's recommended to ensure proper lubrication (if applicable) and consider the load direction for optimal performance and longevity.

What is the difference between this model and other Festo Mini Slides?

Other models in the Festo Mini Slide range vary in bore diameter, stroke length, and sometimes mounting configurations, offering a selection to meet different application requirements.

Troubleshooting

Actuator does not move

Verify air supply pressure and connection. Check the control valve for proper operation. Ensure no mechanical obstructions.

Slow or weak movement

Check air pressure is within specification. Inspect air lines for leaks or restrictions. Ensure the load does not exceed the theoretical force output.

Actuator does not fully extend or retract

Confirm correct porting of air lines. Check for internal or external obstructions. Ensure adequate air supply and exhaust flow.

Audible noise or excessive vibration

Check the function of the elastic cushioning rings. Ensure secure mounting. Reduce operating speed if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High force output relative to its compact size.
  • Smooth operation due to integrated cushioning.
  • Versatile integration with proximity sensors.
  • Durable construction for industrial environments.
  • Double-acting functionality for precise control.

Cons

  • Limited to pneumatic power sources.
  • Stroke and bore size are fixed for this variant.
  • Requires clean, dry compressed air for optimal performance.
  • Theoretical force calculation does not account for friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely mount the Mini Slide using appropriate brackets or threaded ports, ensuring alignment with the intended motion path.
  2. Pneumatic Connections: Connect compressed air lines to the designated ports, ensuring correct port identification for advance and retract functions.
  3. Sensor Integration (Optional): If using proximity sensors, install them in the designated slots on the actuator body and connect them to your control system.
  4. Air Supply: Connect to a regulated compressed air supply (max 8 bar). Ensure the air is clean and dry.

Compatibility:

  • Pneumatic Systems: Compatible with standard industrial pneumatic systems providing compressed air.
  • Control Systems: Can be integrated with PLC or relay logic systems when used with appropriate solenoid valves and proximity sensors.
  • Mounting Hardware: Requires compatible mounting solutions available separately.

Care:

  • Lubrication: Generally designed for non-lube operation, but consult Festo documentation for specific recommendations if using lubricated air.
  • Cleaning: Keep the exterior clean using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Filter Maintenance: Ensure the compressed air supply has adequate filtration to prevent contaminants from entering the actuator.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check for air leaks and ensure smooth, unobstructed movement.
