Worldwide service Thanks to the high level of ser-
vice, OEMs and end users alike
are able to conform to worksstandards specifications world-wide – in over 170 countries. One sensor fits all The fully integrated cylinder
switch offers a high degree of
operational reliability, PLUS
functionality: just one
standardized sensor type –
SM… , but in all designs and
suitable for all advanced Festo
cylinder profiles. Another PLUS:
the integrated switch saves yet
more space. Compact design Compared with conventional
guide units, more compact
installations are now possible,
since the reduced dimensions
of the DFPguide unit permit
considerable space savings. >
DFP– includes Festo-added value
Carefully thought out Based on the standard DNC
cylinder, the DFPis based on
worldwide tried and tested and
available parts from the stan-
dard cylinder mounting range
and offers a diversity of options
for direct mounting. Instead of
a sliding bearing, a recirculat-
ing ball-bearing cartridge is
used in the bearing cap, which
engages in the in-line grooves
of the piston rod. The recircu-
lating ball-bearing guide per-
mits a high-precision
linear movement with maximum tor-
que resistance – in the case of larger diameters also for longer
strokes! Up to 80 mm diameter
and 500 mm standard stroke. 2Festo AG & Co. >
