Product overview
5.1
Function
The DGST mini slide is a non-rotating double-piston drive with bearing guide.
When the compressed air supply ports are pressurised reciprocally, the slide
moves back and forth. The DGST-...-E1 is the basic variant with internal elastic
cushioning and without the option of adjusting the stroke. The slide is braked by
external elastic cushioning components in the case of DGST-…-P and by external
hydraulic shock absorbers in the case of DGST-…-Y12. These cushioning compon-
ents also serve to adjust the stroke.
