Product Information

Full details

This Festo pneumatic shock absorber (Size 32, 12mm stroke) is designed for industrial applications needing efficient and reliable energy absorption. It offers a key benefit of self-adjusting cushioning for consistent performance. A potential caveat is its specific operating temperature range. Key features include a maximum energy absorption of 10 J per stroke, self-adjusting cushioning, a rapidly rising cushioning force curve, compact design, and screw-in mounting.

FAQs

What is the maximum energy absorption per stroke?

The maximum energy absorption per stroke for this model is 10 Joules.

Does this shock absorber require manual adjustment?

No, this model features self-adjusting cushioning, which automatically adapts to impact conditions.

What is the operating temperature range?

The shock absorber operates within a temperature range of -5°C to +80°C.

What is the stroke length?

The stroke length of this shock absorber is 12 mm.

What is the mounting thread size?

The mounting thread size is 12 mm (typically M12x1.5).

How do I ensure proper installation?

Ensure the shock absorber is screwed securely into a compatible M12 thread and is aligned to meet the moving impact object on its piston rod.

Can this be used in very cold or very hot environments?

The specified operating temperature range is -5°C to +80°C. Use outside this range is not recommended and may affect performance or cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Shock absorber is not decelerating effectively.

Verify that the moving object is striking the piston rod correctly. Check if the energy per stroke exceeds the 10 J limit. Ensure the temperature is within the operating range.

Excessive noise during operation.

Ensure the shock absorber is securely mounted. Check for any obstructions or misalignments in the path of the moving component.

Leakage observed.

If leakage is detected, the unit may be damaged and should be replaced. Contact Festo support for further assistance.

Difficulty in mounting.

Confirm that the mounting thread is compatible (M12x1.5) and clean. Ensure sufficient clearance for installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Self-adjusting cushioning eliminates manual adjustments.
  • High energy absorption capacity (10 J per stroke) for effective deceleration.
  • Compact dimensions for easy integration into tight spaces.
  • Reliable performance due to a rapidly rising cushioning force curve.
  • Simple screw-in mounting for quick installation.

Cons

  • Limited operating temperature range (-5°C to +80°C) may restrict use in extreme environments.
  • Specific thread size (12mm) requires compatible mounting points.
  • Not designed for applications exceeding 10 J per stroke.
  • Requires pneumatic principles for operation, not a standalone mechanical device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and has a compatible 12mm thread.
  2. Carefully screw the shock absorber into the designated mounting point, ensuring a secure fit.
  3. Verify the shock absorber is positioned to effectively absorb the impact force of the moving component.

Compatibility:

  • This shock absorber is designed for pneumatic systems and requires a moving element to strike its piston rod for operation.
  • Ensure the application's energy per stroke does not exceed 10 J.
  • Operating temperature must remain within the -5°C to +80°C range.
  • Mounting thread must be M12x1.5.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the shock absorber for any signs of external damage or leakage.
  • Keep the area around the shock absorber clean to prevent debris interference.
  • Avoid exposing the unit to temperatures or environments outside its specified operating parameters.
