Use this Festo pneumaticguided cylinder to move heavy objects attached sideways to industrial equipment and machinery. For balanced operation, the unit has two guide blocks that ensure equal distribution of the forces exerted by the loads. It also has ball bearings that absorb the lateral forces and make movement smoother and more effective. The cylinder is environmentally friendly and doesn't contain any copper or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that are toxic to the environment. You'll find devices like this one commonly used in assembly lines and packaging plants.
• Maximum force of 1000N (Newtons) for heavy-duty applications • Light weight of 3.39kg for easy handling, storage and transportation • Broad operating temperature range of -20°C and +80°C for use in demanding environments • Heat-treated steel guide material for durability and enhanced impact resistance
Applications
• Conveyor systems • Automated sorting and handling systems • Bottling and filling equipment
Can this cylinder be controlled automatically?
Yes, it can. A proximity sensor can be connected to this guided cylinder to control when it extends and retracts its pistons, usually in response to the movement of an object.
