Product overview
5.1
Function
The piston rod moves outwards when the cylinder chamber is pressurised. The
advanced piston rod is retracted as follows:
–
–
For double-acting cylinders, by pressurising the other cylinder chamber.
The cylinder force during advance and return is:
–
different with piston rod at one end.
–
identical with through piston rod.
The position of the piston can be detected by proximity sensors.

•
Handle the cylinder so as to avoid any damage to the cylinder barrel and pis-
ton rod.
•
Observe the following points:
–
–
–
•
Observe tightening torque of lock nuts on the male thread 2.

•
Avoid mechanical alignment inaccuracies between the piston rod and an
external guide using one of the following measures:
–
–
–
A rigid coupling impairs the service life and function of the cylinder.
5.4
In the case of a large payload, high piston speed or when using quick exhaust
valves:
•
Use suitable shock absorbers or external stops.
To prevent the payload from sliding down suddenly in the event of an air supply
failure in a horizontal or sloping mounting position:
•
Use piloted check valves.
To set the speed:
•
Use one-way flow control valves in the following supply ports:
–
–
The one-way flow control valves are screwed directly into the supply ports. Use of
other accessories with a screw-in depth that is too long will damage the cushion-
ing piston.
For position sensing with proximity sensors:
•
Use proximity sensors with mounting kit.
Avoid external influence caused by magnetic or ferritic parts in the vicinity of
the proximity sensors (spacing ³ 10 mm).

6.1
•
Connect tubing to supply ports.

7.1
•
Pressurise the system slowly. A soft start valve is used for gradual start-up
pressurisation è www.festo.com/catalogue.
With medium or large payloads or at high speeds:
•
Use sufficiently large arrester fixtures. The product will tolerate the maximum
velocities and payloads without external arrester fixtures
