Festo DFM series pneumatic guided cylinders are double acting drive and guide unit in a single housing. Four plain slide bearings on the large diameter guide rods provide high rigidity suitable for high loads. Designed for high load pneumatic applications such as clamping, stopping, material handling and lifting. The sturdy and precise aluminium construction is maintenance free and highly resistant to torque and lateral external forces. A compact design incorporates the piston rod as part of the guide body.

The DFM series of guided actuators have flexible cushioning plates to reduce noise during operation and increase service life. Integrated slots on the actuator body allow for incorporating proximity sensors to measure the linear motion of the piston. Air supply ports on both the top and side of the cylinder provide flexible positioning options.
