Festo DFM-32-160-P-A-KF Guided Drive (Order Code: 170937)

Product Overview

The Festo DFM-32-160-P-A-KF is a high-precision guided rod drive belonging to Festo’s DFM series, engineered for linear motion applications requiring stability, rigidity, and precise positioning in industrial automation systems. Ideal for tasks such as part transfer, clamping, feeding, and assembly operations, this guided drive integrates a pneumatic cylinder with dual guide rods to eliminate rotational deviation and withstand radial and axial loads. With its modular design and robust construction, it delivers reliable performance in harsh environments including automotive manufacturing, packaging lines, and electronic component assembly.

Main Functions

Precision Linear Motion with Anti-Rotation
- Delivers smooth, backlash-free linear reciprocating motion driven by compressed air, with dual parallel guide rods that prevent the piston rod from rotating by up to 0.1°—critical for applications requiring accurate orientation of end-effectors (e.g., grippers, nozzles).
- Handles combined radial and axial loads up to 150 N (radial) and 800 N (axial thrust at 6 bar pressure), eliminating the need for additional guide mechanisms and simplifying machine design.
Integrated Cushioning & Position Sensing
- Equipped with adjustable pneumatic end-position cushioning (P-A designation), allowing users to fine-tune deceleration to reduce impact, noise, and wear during cyclic operation—ideal for high-speed automation tasks.
- Features T-slot grooves on both sides of the cylinder barrel, enabling easy installation of Festo proximity sensors (e.g., SMT-8M-A) for non-contact position detection and feedback to PLCs for closed-loop control.
Modular System Expansion
- Compatible with Festo’s full range of accessories, including magnetic switches, mounting brackets, rod end clevises, and protective bellows, enabling customization for specific application requirements.
- Supports integration with Festo valve terminals (e.g., CPV series) for centralized pneumatic control, streamlining air supply and signal management in automated production lines.

Technical Features

Robust Construction & Durability
- Housing Material: Hard-anodized aluminum barrel and die-cast aluminum end caps, providing corrosion resistance and lightweight design for reduced installation load. Guide rods are made of high-strength steel with hard chrome plating to minimize wear and extend service life.
- Sealing System: PTFE piston seals and nitrile rubber (NBR) rod seals ensure low-friction operation and reliable airtightness, with a service life of up to 20 million cycles under standard operating conditions.
- Protection Class: IP65 (front end), resistant to dust, water spray, and oil contamination in industrial environments. Optional protective bellows are available for applications with heavy debris.
Performance & Efficiency
- Operating Pressure Range: 1.5–10 bar, enabling flexible adaptation to different pneumatic system pressures. Maximum operating speed: 1 m/s, with smooth motion maintained even at low speeds (≥ 0.005 m/s).
- Temperature Resistance: -10 °C to +60 °C (standard) and -20 °C to +80 °C (with special seals), suitable for use in extreme temperature environments such as cold storage and high-heat assembly lines.
- Energy Efficiency: Low air consumption due to optimized internal volume, reducing overall system energy costs for continuous cyclic operation.
Compliance & Certification
- Adheres to international standards including ISO 15552 (pneumatic cylinders), DIN 24333, and CE certification, ensuring global market compatibility and compliance with industrial safety regulations.

Weight

The net weight of the Festo DFM-32-160-P-A-KF guided drive is approximately 3.2 kg, making it lightweight for manual handling during installation and maintenance while maintaining structural rigidity.
