Product Information

Full details

This Festo bellows cylinder (MPN: EB-215-155) is for industrial applications requiring high force output in a compact, single-acting design. Its key benefit is reliable, uniform movement even in harsh environments due to dust and water resistance. A potential consideration is its specific stroke length and single-acting nature, requiring appropriate control systems. Key features include a robust construction, maintenance-free operation, and a G3/4 pneumatic connection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of air connection does this cylinder use?

The cylinder features a G3/4 pneumatic connection.

Is this cylinder double-acting?

No, this is a single-acting bellows cylinder. It extends with pneumatic pressure and retracts via a spring.

What is the maximum stroke length?

The cylinder has a stroke length of 155 mm.

Can this cylinder be used outdoors or in wet environments?

Yes, the cylinder is designed with resistance to dust and water intrusion, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Does this cylinder require lubrication?

No, this bellows cylinder is designed for maintenance-free operation and does not require lubrication.

What is the weight of the cylinder?

The cylinder weighs approximately 2.3 kg.

What is the nominal diameter of the cylinder?

The nominal diameter of the cylinder is 230 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder does not extend or retract

Verify air supply pressure and connection to the G3/4 port. Check for any obstructions or damage to the bellows. Ensure the control signal (if applicable) is correctly initiating the stroke.

Weak or inconsistent force output

Check air pressure regulation. Inspect the pneumatic connection for leaks. Ensure the load being actuated does not exceed the cylinder's rated force output for the given pressure.

Bellows appear damaged

Immediately inspect for leaks or punctures. If damage is found, the cylinder may need replacement as bellows are critical for sealing and actuation. Avoid operation until inspected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction for demanding industrial use.
  • Compact design fits into tight spaces.
  • Maintenance-free operation lowers TCO.
  • Reliable performance in dusty or wet conditions.
  • Provides strong force for its size.

Cons

  • Single-acting design limits application flexibility compared to double-acting cylinders.
  • Specific stroke length (155mm) may not suit all applications.
  • Requires a spring return mechanism, adding to its physical footprint.
  • Weight (2.3kg) may be a factor in highly sensitive or mobile applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pneumatic supply meets the cylinder's operational requirements.
  2. Connect the air line to the G3/4 pneumatic connection port.
  3. Mount the cylinder securely using appropriate fixtures, considering the force it will exert and its compact size.
  4. Integrate the cylinder's rod with the component it will actuate.

Compatibility:

  • The G3/4 pneumatic connection is a standard industrial size.
  • Requires a compressed air supply capable of operating a single-acting cylinder with spring return.
  • Suitable for environments with dust and water ingress up to certain IP ratings (consult Festo documentation for specifics).

Care:

This bellows cylinder is designed to be maintenance-free. Regular visual inspection for damage to the bellows or mounting points is recommended. Ensure the pneumatic supply remains clean and dry to prevent internal contamination, even though the cylinder itself is resistant to external ingress.
