Technical Overview

The Festo DGTZ-GF-10-30-P-A is a high-performance double-acting twin cylinder with an integrated plain-bearing guide. Designed for pneumatic automation, it features a 10 mm piston diameter and 30 mm stroke, complemented by a 10 mm adjustable end-position range. This guided drive utilizes elastic cushioning at both ends to reduce impact energy and supports position detection through proximity switches. It is built with an anodised wrought aluminium alloy housing and high-alloy stainless steel piston rods, ensuring durability while maintaining a low corrosion resistance class (CRC 1). The unit is compliant with RoHS standards and is suitable for Class 5 cleanroom environments according to ISO 14644-1.
