Product Information
Full details
This Festo M6 pneumatic shock absorber is designed for engineers and technicians working with low-energy pneumatic systems requiring controlled deceleration. Its key benefit is providing precise damping and a reliable metal end stop for impact protection. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for low-energy applications. Key features include a 1.5 mm stroke, integrated elastic cushioning rings, a metallic fixed stop, and a screw-in design for straightforward installation.

FAQs
What is the maximum energy this shock absorber can handle?
This shock absorber is designed for low-energy applications. Specific energy absorption figures are not provided, but it is intended for applications where deceleration is needed without significant impact forces.
What is the meaning of the 'M6' designation?
The 'M6' refers to the metric thread size (M6) of the screw-in mounting point, indicating its diameter and thread pitch.
Can this shock absorber be used in high-speed applications?
No, this shock absorber is specifically designed for low-energy applications and is not suitable for high-speed or high-impact scenarios.
What is the operating temperature range?
The shock absorber operates within a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C.
How is the end position determined?
The end position is defined by a metallic fixed stop integrated into the shock absorber's design.
What are the elastic cushioning rings for?
The elastic cushioning rings are located at both ends of the shock absorber and provide flexible damping to absorb impact energy.
Troubleshooting
Shock absorber not effectively damping movement.
Verify that the application's energy and speed are within the intended low-energy range for this shock absorber. Ensure the absorber is correctly installed and that the moving part makes contact with the absorber rod.
Excessive noise or vibration during operation.
Check for proper installation and secure mounting. Ensure the stroke is fully utilized for damping. If the issue persists, the application's energy may exceed the absorber's capacity.
Shock absorber showing signs of leakage.
Inspect the seals and mounting threads. If leakage is detected, the unit may need replacement as it indicates internal damage or seal failure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides precise damping for controlled movement.
- Offers a reliable metallic end stop for impact protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify a suitable threaded mounting hole that matches the M6 screw-in design of the shock absorber.
- Carefully screw the shock absorber into the mounting hole until it is securely seated. Do not overtighten.
- Ensure the moving component has a surface that will encounter the absorber's rod end during its travel.
Compatibility:
- This shock absorber is designed for pneumatic systems and applications involving low-energy movements.
- It is compatible with M6 threaded mounting points.
- Ensure the application's energy and speed fall within the operational limits specified for this model.
Care:
- Keep the shock absorber clean and free from debris, particularly around the rod and cushioning elements.
- Periodically check for secure mounting and signs of wear.
- Avoid exposing the unit to corrosive substances or environments outside its specified temperature range (-10°C to +60°C).
