GTIN Standard 4052568231149

Technical Overview

The Festo DSM-12-270-HD-A-B (part number 1369110) is a double-acting pneumatic semi-rotary vane actuator. Engineered for high-performance industrial applications, it offers an adjustable swivel angle of 0 to 270 degrees. Featuring a size 12mm bore, it incorporates a hollow flanged shaft (HD) designed to manage high load torques effectively. The robust housing is manufactured from a wrought aluminum alloy and features TPE-U(PU) static seals for reliable, low-wear operation in ambient temperatures ranging from -10 °C to +60 °C. It provides 1.25 Nm of theoretical torque at a 6 bar operating pressure, and supports position sensing via an integrated magnetic ring and proximity switch technology.

Key Features

Industrial Applications

1. Automated Packaging Orientation

Used in high-speed packaging lines to rapidly orient cartons or containers before the sealing process. The elastic cushioning handles repetitive cycling smoothly, while proximity sensors confirm precise positioning.

Problem Solved

Provides the necessary torque (1.25 Nm) and precise 270-degree rotation required to align lightweight packaging components without incurring mechanical shock damage.

Elastic cushioning1.25 Nm torqueProximity sensing

2. Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT)

Integrated into a robotic manipulator to flip or rotate delicate manufactured parts during a pick-and-place assembly operation, leveraging the lightweight aluminum housing.

Problem Solved

Reduces payload weight on the robot arm (at only 375g) while safely supporting up to 200 N of radial force and 180 N of axial force for robust part manipulation.

3. Component Sorting and Ejection

Acts as a primary diverter gate in automated component sorting tracks. By firing at speeds up to 1.5 Hz, the vane actuator rapidly redirects items into specific bins based on visual inspection.

Problem Solved

Ensures reliable, high-frequency sorting operations (up to 1.5 Hz at 6 bar) in tight spatial constraints, powered by standard industrial 3 to 10 bar compressed air systems.
