Product Information

Full details

The Festo DFC-10-25-P-A-GF is designed for engineers and automation specialists needing high precision in space-constrained applications. Its key benefit is combining a compact design with robust load capacity and smooth operation. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, requiring pneumatic system knowledge for optimal integration. This double-acting guided actuator features a 10 mm piston diameter and 25 mm stroke, providing reliable performance for precise linear motion tasks.

FAQs

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The typical maximum operating pressure for this series is 10 bar (145 psi).

Can this actuator be used without sensors?

Yes, it can be used as a simple pneumatic actuator without position monitoring. Sensors are optional for feedback.

What size tubing does it use?

This actuator typically uses 4mm tubing for pneumatic connections.

What is the theoretical force when retracting?

The theoretical retracting force will be less than the advancing force due to the rod diameter. Specific values should be calculated based on pressure and rod diameter, but it will be lower than the 47 N advancing force.

How is the cushioning adjusted?

This model features fixed elastic cushioning rings and is not externally adjustable.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to Festo's official warranty documentation for specific details, as warranty periods can vary.

Can this actuator handle side loads?

Yes, the guided design offers resistance to side loads compared to a standard non-guided cylinder, but excessive side loads should still be avoided.

Troubleshooting

Actuator does not move

Verify compressed air supply is connected and at the correct pressure. Check for blockages in air lines or control valve. Ensure the valve is energized correctly for the desired stroke.

Slow or erratic movement

Check air supply pressure and quality (lubrication/moisture). Ensure there are no leaks in the pneumatic lines or at the cylinder seals. Confirm the load does not exceed the actuator's capacity.

Cushioning is ineffective

Ensure cushioning rings are correctly seated. Check for excessive speed that might overpower the cushioning effect. Note that cushioning is most effective at moderate speeds.

Proximity sensor not detected

Confirm the sensor is correctly installed in the slot and is compatible with the control system. Check sensor wiring and power supply. Verify the actuator is within the sensor's detection range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-efficient due to integrated actuator and guide design.
  • Precise linear guidance for accurate positioning.
  • Suitable for applications with high demands on load capacity in a small footprint.
  • Enables position monitoring with compatible sensors.
  • Smooth operation due to built-in cushioning.

Cons

  • Requires a compressed air supply and control system.
  • Specific stroke and bore size may not suit all applications.
  • Integration requires understanding of pneumatic principles.
  • Sensor compatibility requires separate purchase and installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect to a clean, dry, and lubricated compressed air supply (ISO 8573-1:2010 standards recommended). Ensure correct port connections for double-acting operation. Mount the actuator securely using appropriate M5 mounting screws (not included) in the threaded holes on the unit's end caps. Install proximity sensors (sold separately) into the designated slots for position feedback.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard pneumatic control valves and fittings for 4mm tubing. Requires a compressed air source regulated to the actuator's operating pressure range (typically 1-10 bar).

Care: Periodically inspect for air leaks. Ensure the air supply remains clean and lubricated to prevent internal wear. Keep the exterior clean and free from debris. Avoid exceeding the specified load or stroke limits.
