Product Information

Full details

The Festo DGSC mini slide is designed for automation engineers and technicians needing precise, compact linear motion. Its key benefit is delivering accurate, controlled movement in space-constrained applications. A potential caveat is its specific operating pressure requirement. This double-acting slide features a 6mm piston diameter and 10mm stroke, utilizing a precision ball bearing cage guide for smooth operation and elastic cushioning for gentle stops. The high-alloy steel construction ensures durability for technical automation systems.

Troubleshooting

Slide does not extend or retract

Check pneumatic connections for leaks, verify air supply pressure is within the 6 bar limit, and ensure control signals are correctly applied to the ports.

Slow or jerky movement

Ensure the air supply is clean and dry. Verify that the slide's stroke is not obstructed and that the operating temperature is within the specified range.

Excessive noise during operation

Confirm that the elastic cushioning is functioning correctly. Ensure the operating pressure is not exceeding the recommended limits, which can over-compress the cushioning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly compact for tight spaces
  • Precise and smooth linear motion
  • Durable construction for industrial use
  • Gentle deceleration with elastic cushioning
  • Reliable double-acting operation

Cons

  • Limited stroke length (10mm) may not suit all applications
  • Requires a maximum operating pressure of 6 bar
  • Small pneumatic connection (M3) may require specific fittings
  • Temperature range is limited to +10°C to +50°C

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pneumatic connection is properly sealed with an appropriate M3 fitting.
  2. Connect the air supply, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 6 bar.
  3. Connect the control lines to the double-acting ports for extension and retraction.

Compatibility:

  • Pneumatic connection: M3 thread.
  • Operating pressure: Maximum 6 bar.
  • Temperature range: +10°C to +50°C.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the slide for wear or damage.
