Safety
2.1 General safety information
– Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use.
– Only use the product in original status without unauthorised modifications.
– Observe labelling on the product.
– Observe further applicable documents.
– Store the product in a cool, dry, UVprotected and corrosionprotected environ
ment. Ensure that storage times are kept to a minimum.
– Prior to mounting, installation and maintenance work: Switch off compressed
air supply and secure it from being switched back on.
– Observe tightening torques. Unless otherwise specified, the tolerance is
± 20 %.
2.2 Intended use
The product is intended for the spacesaving transport of masses.
The product is approved for rotor/slide operating mode.
Fig. 1
2.3 Foreseeable misuse
Mechanical movement of rotor/slide at high speed creates a vacuum in the piston
chamber. This vacuum can pull the sealing band into the piston chamber. This res
ults in severe leakage and unacceptable levels of acceleration (e. g. in vertical
mounting position).
Only move rotor/slide mechanically at low speeds.
2.4 Qualification of specialized personnel
Installation, commissioning, maintenance and disassembly should only be con
ducted by qualified personnel.
The specialized personnel must be familiar with the installation and operation of
electrical and pneumatic control systems.

Product overview
5.1 Function
When the pneumatic ports are pressurized alternately, the piston moves back
wards and forwards in the profile barrel. The rigid connection to the piston causes
the rotor/slide to move too. A sealing band spans the slot required in the profile
barrel.

Assembly
7.1 Preparation
– Avoid damage and contamination to the sealing band.
– Do not modify the screws and threaded pins.
Exception: Immediate requirement for change in this instruction manual.
– Place the product in such a way that the control sections can be reached
(e. g. adjusting screws).
– Install product without torsional stresses.
– Fasten product to a mounting surface with flatness of 0.05 % of the stroke
length, but max. 0.5 mm.
– For gantry applications, attention must also be paid to parallel alignment or
product heights in alignment of the products. For further information please
contact your local Festo Service centre.
– If needed: Select mounting components or accessories
è
www.festo.com/catalogue.
To avoid collisions, attach the mounting components outside the positioning
range.
