Product Information

Full details

This Festo M16 pneumatic shock absorber is designed for industrial applications requiring precise damping of low-energy movements. It offers reliable deceleration through its tappet design and elastic cushioning rings, ensuring consistent performance with a defined metal end position thanks to its flexible rubber buffer. While its screw-in design simplifies installation, it is best suited for specific low-impact scenarios.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the stroke length of this shock absorber?

The stroke length is 1.3 mm.

What type of cushioning does this shock absorber use?

It uses elastic cushioning rings at both ends and features a flexible rubber buffer for a defined metal end position.

Is this shock absorber suitable for high-speed applications?

This model is designed for low-energy applications and may not be suitable for high-speed or high-impact scenarios. Always check the energy absorption specifications against your application's requirements.

How is the shock absorber installed?

It features a screw-in design for easy installation into a pre-threaded M16 mounting hole.

What is the purpose of the metallic fixed stop?

The metallic fixed stop provides a rigid, definitive end to the shock absorber's stroke, ensuring precise positioning.

Can this shock absorber be used outdoors?

While it is designed for industrial environments, prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements like direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures may affect its performance and lifespan. Refer to specific environmental rating if available.

Troubleshooting

Shock absorber does not engage at end of stroke.

Verify the mounting position and ensure the moving component is designed to contact the tappet. Check if the shock absorber has been compressed beyond its intended stroke.

Excessive noise or vibration during operation.

This may indicate the shock absorber is undersized for the application's energy. Ensure the application's impact energy is within the shock absorber's specifications. Check for loose mounting.

Visible damage to the shock absorber body or tappet.

Discontinue use immediately and replace the damaged unit. Continued use could lead to further equipment damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise damping for controlled movements.
  • Durable construction with metallic fixed stop.
  • Easy installation due to screw-in design.
  • Consistent performance in low-energy applications.

Cons

  • Limited stroke (1.3 mm) restricts use to low-energy applications.
  • Not suitable for high-impact or heavy loads.
  • Requires careful consideration of application energy to prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the mounting location where the moving part needs deceleration.
  2. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and capable of supporting the shock absorber.
  3. Thread the M16 shock absorber into the designated mounting hole. Hand-tighten initially, then use appropriate tools for final securing if necessary, ensuring it is firmly seated.
  4. Verify that the moving component will correctly engage the tappet of the shock absorber at the end of its travel.

Compatibility:

  • Mounting Thread: M16 x 1.5 (standard metric thread).
  • Energy Absorption: Designed for low-energy applications. Consult Festo documentation for specific energy ratings if available.
  • Environment: Suitable for standard industrial environments. Avoid exposure to corrosive substances or extreme temperatures outside operational limits.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the shock absorber for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Ensure the mounting threads remain clean and free from debris.
  • For maintenance, gently wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
