Horizontal installation of the cylinder with holding brake For horizontal installation when using the holding brake for holding, the foot mounting HNC/HNG available as an accessory is recommendedè www.festo.com/catalogue. The HNC/HNG foot mounting is not approved for use with the holding brake to stop movements.
The piston rod must not be used to transmit transverse forces or torques. With the flexo coupling available as an accessory, transverse forces or bending moments on the piston rod can be prevented è www.festo.com/catalogue. Festo — DACS-...-S; DFLC/DFLG-...-S — 2019-07...
