2 Safety
2.1 General safety information
– Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use.
– Only use the product in original status without unauthorised modifications.
– Observe labelling on the product.
– Observe further applicable documents.
– Store the product in a cool, dry, UV­protected and corrosion­protected environ­
ment. Ensure that storage times are kept to a minimum.
– Prior to mounting, installation and maintenance work: Switch off compressed
air supply and secure it from being switched back on.
– Observe tightening torques. Unless otherwise specified, the tolerance is
± 20 %.
2.2 Intended use
The product is intended for the space­saving transport of masses.
The product is approved for rotor/slide operating mode.

2.3 Foreseeable misuse
Mechanical movement of rotor/slide at high speed creates a vacuum in the piston
chamber. This vacuum can pull the sealing band into the piston chamber. This res­
ults in severe leakage and unacceptable levels of acceleration (e. g. in vertical
mounting position).
Only move rotor/slide mechanically at low speeds.
2.4 Qualification of specialized personnel
Installation, commissioning, maintenance and disassembly should only be con­
ducted by qualified personnel.
The specialized personnel must be familiar with the installation and operation of
electrical and pneumatic control systems.

5 Product overview
5.1 Function
When the pneumatic ports are pressurized alternately, the piston moves back­
wards and forwards in the profile barrel. The rigid connection to the piston causes
the rotor/slide to move too. A sealing band spans the slot required in the profile
barrel.

7.1 Preparation
– Avoid damage and contamination to the sealing band.
– Do not modify the screws and threaded pins.
Exception: Immediate requirement for change in this instruction manual.
– Place the product in such a way that the control sections can be reached
(e. g. adjusting screws).
– Install product without torsional stresses.
– Fasten product to a mounting surface with flatness of 0.05 % of the stroke
length, but max. 0.5 mm.
– For gantry applications, attention must also be paid to parallel alignment or
product heights in alignment of the products. For further information please
contact your local Festo Service centre.
– If needed: Select mounting components or accessories
è www.festo.com/catalogue.
To avoid collisions, attach the mounting components outside the positioning
range.
