Product Information
Full details
This Festo M6 pneumatic shock absorber is designed for engineers and technicians working with automation or machinery requiring controlled deceleration. Its key benefit is providing precise damping and a reliable metal end stop for low-energy applications, ensuring smooth operation and protecting equipment from impact. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for low-energy scenarios, meaning it may not be sufficient for high-force applications. Key features include a 1.5 mm stroke, integrated elastic cushioning rings, and a metallic fixed stop for defined positioning.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum energy absorption capacity?
The specific energy absorption capacity is not detailed in the provided information, but it is designed for low-energy applications. Consult the official Festo datasheet for precise specifications.
Can this shock absorber be used for high-speed applications?
No, this shock absorber is optimized for low-energy applications and may not be suitable for high-speed or high-impact scenarios.
What is the stroke length of this shock absorber?
The stroke length of this M6 pneumatic shock absorber is 1.5 mm.
How is this shock absorber installed?
It features an M6 screw-in design for easy installation into compatible mounting points.
Does this shock absorber require lubrication?
No, this shock absorber is designed to be maintenance-free and does not require additional lubrication under normal operating conditions.
What is the purpose of the metallic fixed stop?
The metallic fixed stop provides a defined and robust end position for the actuator, ensuring consistent and repeatable stopping points in automated systems.
Troubleshooting
Shock absorber does not dampen effectively.
Verify that the application's energy level is within the shock absorber's rated capacity. Ensure the shock absorber is correctly installed and the impact is directly along its axis.
Inconsistent stopping points.
Check for proper thread engagement and secure mounting. Ensure there are no external forces or misalignments affecting the actuator's final position.
Noise during operation.
Ensure the shock absorber is fully screwed in and secured. If noise persists, the application's energy might be at the upper limit of the shock absorber's range, or external vibrations could be a factor.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides precise and controlled deceleration.
- Offers a reliable metallic end stop for consistent positioning.
- Easy to install due to its screw-in design.
- Effective cushioning reduces mechanical stress and wear.
- Compact size suitable for integration into tight spaces.
Cons
- Limited to low-energy applications.
- Stroke length is fixed at 1.5 mm, which may not suit all requirements.
- Requires proper air pressure management for optimal performance.
- Not designed for high-speed or heavy impact scenarios.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Festo M6 shock absorber features a standard M6 thread for easy screw-in installation. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and provides adequate support. Thread the shock absorber into the designated port until it is securely seated, ensuring it is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
Compatibility: This shock absorber is designed for use with low-energy pneumatic systems. It is compatible with standard pneumatic actuators and automation components that operate within its specified damping capabilities. Verify that the energy to be absorbed falls within the shock absorber's operational limits.
Care: No specialized maintenance is typically required. However, periodically inspect the shock absorber for any signs of external damage or leakage. Ensure the threaded connection remains tight. The unit is designed to be maintenance-free under normal operating conditions.
