Mini slide with 30mm stroke and recirculating ball bearing guide. Features external hydraulic cushioning and 60N theoretical force at 0.6 MPa.
The Festo DGST-8-30-Y12A is a high-precision double-acting pneumatic mini slide designed for automation applications requiring guided movement. It features a yoke-style drive unit with a recirculating ball bearing guide for exceptional accuracy and a repetition accuracy of <= 0.02 mm. This model is equipped with external hydraulic cushioning and is prepared for position detection via proximity switches. Its robust construction utilizes wrought aluminium alloy for the housing and high-alloy stainless steel for the piston rod, making it suitable for cleanroom environments up to Class 6.

Utilizing the Festo DGST-8-30-Y12A mini slide to seamlessly transport and position delicate semiconductor chips onto PCBs within an automated cleanroom assembly cell.
Eliminates particulate contamination risks while ensuring extremely precise component placement to avoid misalignment of micro-electronics.
Integrating the pneumatic slide into a laboratory automation sorter to rapidly push fragile medical test tubes into respective analysis trays, using the 30 mm stroke for compact transfer.
Mitigates fluid agitation, spillage, and mechanical shocks during rapid indexing of delicate glass containers by providing smooth deceleration.
Employing the slide drive as a compact pressing unit in an assembly station to insert small electronic connectors into housings, where side loads and high repetition are common.
Overcomes lateral deflection and keeps the insertion tool perfectly aligned, preventing delicate pins from bending during the press-fit operation.
