FESTO Guided Cylinders: Precise Linear Motion for Demanding Applications

FESTO guided cylinders provide superior precision and stability in linear motion applications, surpassing standard pneumatic cylinders with their integrated guidance systems. Designed for demanding environments requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and long service life, these cylinders offer a robust and efficient solution for a wide range of industries.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Precision & Accuracy: Integrated guidance systems (e.g., roller bearings, linear bushings) eliminate tilting and ensure precise linear movement, reducing positional errors and improving overall system accuracy. This is critical for applications demanding high repeatability, like assembly, handling, and pick-and-place operations.
• Increased Stability & Stiffness: The robust construction and guided design provide exceptional stiffness, resisting bending and deflection under load. This results in smoother operation, reduced vibration, and improved process reliability, particularly beneficial in high-speed applications.
• Extended Service Life: The precise guidance mechanisms minimize friction and wear, significantly extending the cylinder's lifespan compared to unguiding cylinders. High-quality materials and durable construction further contribute to long-term reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
• Versatile Mounting Options: FESTO offers a variety of mounting options to suit diverse application needs, including flange mounting, foot mounting, and various rod-end configurations, ensuring easy integration into your existing machinery.
• Wide Range of Sizes and Configurations: Available in various bore sizes and stroke lengths to accommodate diverse application requirements. Custom configurations and options are also available to meet specific needs.
• Variety of Actuation Options: Choose from a range of options including standard pneumatic actuation, or explore more advanced solutions like electropneumatic integration for enhanced control and precision.
• Suitable for Harsh Environments: Certain models are designed for use in harsh environments, offering protection against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors that can negatively impact performance.

Applications:

FESTO guided cylinders are ideal for a broad spectrum of applications, including:

• Automation & Robotics: Precise positioning in assembly lines, pick-and-place systems, and robotic manipulators.
• Packaging & Handling: Accurate and reliable movement of products in packaging and material handling systems.
• Machine Tooling: Precise linear motion in machine tools for improved machining accuracy and surface finish.
• Testing & Measurement: High-precision positioning in testing and measurement equipment.
• Medical Devices: Precise and reliable actuation in medical devices and equipment.
