Festo DFM-12-50-P-A-GF 170829 Guided Actuator

Guided Actuator for Precision Motion

The Festo DFM-12-50-P-A-GF is a guided actuator built for automated systems that require repeatable linear movement. It suits engineers and integrators assembling pick-and-place units, packaging equipment or test fixtures where side-load resistance matters. The unit arrives new in a single pack, ready for installation into modular machine frames.

Sustained Operation with Plain Bushings

Under continuous cycling the plain-bearing guide maintains alignment without the maintenance intervals of recirculating ball types. The 50 mm stroke executes full travels consistently, while the 12 mm bore delivers the force profile specified for the application. Performance remains stable across the duty cycle because the guide geometry resists yaw and pitch without external lubrication lines.

Compact Thermals and Low Noise

The pneumatic drive produces minimal heat during normal sequencing, keeping surrounding components within their thermal limits. Operational noise stays at a low level suitable for laboratory or clean-room environments. Power consumption follows the supply pressure curve, so the actuator draws only the compressed air required for each move.
