Product Information

Full details

This Festo compact air cylinder is designed for users needing precise, small-scale linear motion in extremely limited spaces. Its primary benefit is its miniaturized design, offering reliable double-acting performance despite its small footprint. A key consideration is its limited force output, suitable only for lighter tasks. This cylinder features a 10mm bore and 5mm stroke, a double-acting mechanism for controlled movement in both directions, and a magnetic piston for integrated position sensing, all within a compact, single-piece housing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the theoretical force of this cylinder?

The theoretical advance force is 47 N at an operating pressure of 6 bar.

What is the purpose of the magnetic piston?

The magnetic piston allows for the detection of the cylinder's position using magnetic field sensors, enabling precise control and automation.

What are the dimensions of this cylinder?

This model has a 10 mm bore diameter and a 5 mm stroke length.

Can this cylinder be used for heavy loads?

No, due to its compact size and limited bore diameter, it is designed for light-duty applications requiring precision rather than high force.

What type of compressed air should be used?

Clean, filtered, and dried compressed air is recommended. Lubricated air may be required depending on specific operating conditions; consult Festo documentation.

How is position sensing typically implemented?

Position sensing is typically implemented using compatible magnetic field sensors mounted externally to the cylinder, which detect the position of the internal magnetic piston.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder does not extend or retract

Check air supply pressure and connections. Ensure valves are correctly actuated. Verify there are no obstructions.

Slow or erratic movement

Check for air leaks in the system. Ensure air quality meets specifications (filtration, lubrication if required). Verify load is within the cylinder's force capacity.

Position sensor not detected

Ensure the sensor is correctly positioned relative to the magnetic piston. Verify sensor wiring and compatibility. Check sensor settings if applicable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely compact for tight spaces
  • Double-acting provides precise control
  • Integrated magnetic piston simplifies sensing
  • Durable single-piece housing design
  • Lightweight construction

Cons

  • Limited force output, not suitable for heavy loads
  • Short stroke length restricts range of motion
  • Requires specific pneumatic fittings for connection
  • Not designed for high-speed applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the cylinder is mounted securely to prevent vibration.
  2. Connect pneumatic lines to the appropriate ports using compatible fittings. Port sizes are typically standardized for this bore size.
  3. Apply clean, lubricated compressed air (if required by the specific model's operating parameters) to the ports for actuation.

Compatibility:

  • Air Quality: Use filtered, dried compressed air to maintain performance and longevity. Refer to Festo's recommendations for air quality standards.
  • Mounting: Compatible with standard end-cap and foot mounting accessories designed for compact cylinders.
  • Sensors: The magnetic piston is compatible with standard Festo magnetic field sensors (e.g., SMT series) for position detection.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect pneumatic connections for leaks.
  • Ensure the air supply is clean and free of contaminants.
  • Avoid exceeding the specified operating pressure and temperature ranges.
