Guided actuator for precision tasks

The Festo DFM-16-30-P-A-GF is a guided actuator built for electricians who need controlled linear motion in wiring and installation work. Its guided design resists side loads and keeps the piston aligned during repeated cycles. The unit arrives new in a single pack and carries the manufacturer part number 170835 for easy reordering.

Sustained operation with guided stability

Under continuous cycling the guide rods maintain straight travel without binding, so the actuator delivers consistent force throughout long conduit-pull or panel-assembly jobs. The 30 millimetre stroke length provides the full travel needed for typical switching movements while the 16 millimetre bore supplies adequate thrust for standard electrical components.

Low-maintenance thermal profile

The pneumatic construction produces negligible heat during normal duty cycles, keeping surrounding cable trays and enclosures at ambient temperature. No motor or pump noise is generated at the actuator itself, so the work area stays quiet during extended runs. Air consumption scales directly with cycle rate, allowing the shop compressor to operate efficiently without oversizing.

Questions about this item

How much compressed air does the DFM-16-30-P-A-GF consume during continuous operation?

Air consumption depends on the supply pressure and cycle speed; the actuator is designed for standard pneumatic systems and its guided rod reduces side-load friction, lowering the average flow needed for a 30 mm stroke.

Which mounting accessories and compressed-air fittings are required to install the DFM-16-30-P-A-GF?

The unit uses the standard Festo DFM mounting pattern and accepts G1/8 ports, so you will need compatible mounting screws, tubing and a G1/8 push-in fitting for each air connection.

Can the DFM-16-30-P-A-GF replace an older DFM-16 series actuator without changing the control layout?

Yes, the 16 mm bore and 30 mm stroke match the legacy DFM-16 envelope and the same G1/8 port positions, allowing a direct mechanical and pneumatic swap.
