Product Information
Full details
The Festo Flat Cylinder (MPN: EZH-10/40-40-A-B) is designed for automation engineers and machine builders who need powerful pneumatic actuation in extremely confined spaces. Its primary benefit is its ultra-compact, flat profile, allowing integration where traditional cylinders cannot fit. A key consideration is its single-acting nature, requiring a return spring mechanism.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of this flat cylinder?
The primary advantage is its extremely flat and compact design, allowing it to fit into applications where conventional cylinders are too bulky.
Is this a double-acting or single-acting cylinder?
This is a single-acting cylinder. It is powered by compressed air in one direction and returned by an internal spring.
Can this cylinder be used without a position sensor?
Yes, it can be used without a position sensor. The magnetic piston is an optional feature for applications requiring position feedback.
What is the theoretical force at 6 bar?
The theoretical pushing force at 6 bar is approximately 205 N.
Does the cylinder prevent rotation?
Yes, its flat, rectangular design inherently prevents rotation, eliminating the need for external guidance in many applications.
What air pressure range is recommended?
The recommended operating pressure range is typically between 1.5 to 10 bar.
How do I mount this cylinder?
The cylinder features various integrated mounting options on its sides and end caps, facilitating flexible installation into machine structures.
Troubleshooting
Cylinder does not extend
Check air supply pressure and connection. Ensure the control signal is correctly applied. Verify that the return spring is not obstructed.
Cylinder does not retract
Verify sufficient spring force for retraction. Ensure there are no external forces or obstructions preventing retraction. Check air exhaust port for blockages.
Inconsistent stroke or jerky movement
Check air quality (moisture, particles). Ensure proper lubrication. Verify secure mounting to prevent vibration.
Position sensor not detecting piston
Ensure the sensor is correctly positioned and compatible with the magnetic piston. Check sensor wiring and power supply. Verify the piston's magnetic field is not compromised.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely compact form factor for tight spaces.
- Built-in anti-rotation prevents external guidance needs.
- Magnetic piston simplifies position feedback integration.
- Provides significant force for its size.
- Durable construction for industrial environments.
Cons
- Single-acting design limits application flexibility compared to double-acting cylinders.
- Spring return force may not be sufficient for all applications.
- Requires a clean and lubricated air supply for optimal performance.
- Can be more expensive than standard cylinders due to specialized design.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure a clean, dry, and lubricated compressed air supply meeting ISO 8573-1 standards.
- Connect the air supply to the appropriate port.
- Mount the cylinder securely using its integrated mounting features.
- Attach any external sensors to the magnetic piston if position sensing is required.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard pneumatic control systems.
- Requires compressed air supply pressures typically between 1.5 to 10 bar.
- Suitable for use with Festo-compatible sensor accessories.
Care:
- Regularly inspect air connections for leaks.
- Maintain a clean environment around the cylinder to prevent dust ingress.
- Monitor air quality and ensure filtration is adequate. Over time, internal seals may require replacement, consult Festo documentation for detailed maintenance procedures.
