Product Information

Full details

This Festo pneumatic shock absorber (Size 2, 4mm stroke) is designed for engineers and technicians working with compact automation systems who need precise and efficient energy absorption. Its key benefit is reliable, low-vibration operation in space-constrained environments. A potential caveat is its limited maximum energy absorption capacity of 0.1 J per stroke, making it unsuitable for heavy-duty applications. This compact device features self-adjusting cushioning, screw-in mounting, and a durable construction for consistent performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum energy absorption capacity per stroke?

The maximum energy absorption capacity is 0.1 Joules (J) per stroke.

What are the dimensions of the shock absorber?

The body length is 20.1mm and the overall length is 24.6mm.

How is this shock absorber mounted?

It features a convenient screw-in mounting design for easy installation.

Is the cushioning adjustable?

Yes, it features self-adjusting cushioning, which optimizes damping automatically.

What type of applications is this shock absorber best suited for?

It is ideal for compact applications with miniature slides, light loads, and where precise, low-vibration operation is crucial, such as in small automation systems and pick-and-place mechanisms.

What is the stroke length of this shock absorber?

The stroke length is 4 mm.

Does this shock absorber require a continuous air supply?

Yes, it is a pneumatic shock absorber and requires a compressed air supply to function.

Troubleshooting

Shock absorber is not damping effectively

Verify that the air supply is connected and at the correct pressure. Check for any blockages in the air intake or internal passages. Ensure the stroke is fully utilized and that the load does not exceed the 0.1 J absorption limit.

Leaking air

Inspect the mounting threads for a secure seal. Check the pneumatic connection for tightness. Examine the shock absorber body for any signs of physical damage that might cause a leak.

Excessive noise or vibration

Confirm that the self-adjusting cushioning is functioning correctly. Ensure the shock absorber is properly mounted and that the application's impact force is within the specified energy absorption range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly compact for integration into small machinery.
  • Self-adjusting cushioning ensures consistent performance.
  • Easy screw-in mounting simplifies installation.
  • Provides precise energy absorption for miniature applications.
  • Durable construction for reliable operation.

Cons

  • Limited to a maximum of 0.1 J energy absorption per stroke.
  • Only suitable for light-duty applications and miniature slides.
  • Requires a compressed air supply.
  • Stroke length is fixed at 4 mm.
  • May not be suitable for high-speed or heavy impact applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The shock absorber features a simple screw-in mounting design. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and capable of supporting the device. Thread the shock absorber into the designated port, ensuring a secure fit without overtightening. Connect a clean, dry compressed air supply to the pneumatic port.

Compatibility: This shock absorber is designed for use with standard pneumatic systems. It is compatible with miniature slides and automation components requiring low-energy absorption (up to 0.1 J). Ensure the operating pressure and temperature are within the product's specified limits (refer to manufacturer's detailed specifications).

Care: Regular visual inspection for damage or leaks is recommended. Keep the external surfaces clean using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the air supply remains free of contaminants like dirt and moisture to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
