Festo Rodless Cylinder and Parts – Overview and Buyer’s Guide What is a Festo Rodless Cylinder? A Festo rodless cylinder is a type of pneumatic actuator designed for long stroke applications where a traditional cylinder with an extending piston rod would be space-restrictive. Instead of a rod, these cylinders move a carriage (also called a slide) along a sealed tube, transferring motion via an internal piston connected magnetically or mechanically. Festo, a global leader in automation, manufactures high-performance rodless cylinders ideal for precise linear motion in compact spaces. Popular Festo Rodless Cylinder Models DGP Series (Guided Rodless Cylinder): With integrated guide rails for higher load and torque capacity. Ideal for pick & place and material handling. DGC Series (Rodless Cylinder): Basic version for general automation. Available with and without guides. Stroke length up to 8500 mm. DLP Series: Pneumatic actuator for intermediate strokes with precise load control. Main Parts of a Festo Rodless Cylinder Piston: Internal component that moves with compressed air. Sealing Band: Prevents air leakage while allowing external carriage movement. Carriage (Slide): The external platform that carries the load. Guide Rails (if applicable): Offer stability and support for lateral loads. End Caps & Mountings: For installation and connection. Airports: For air supply and exhaust. Sensors & Switches (Optional): For position detection and feedback.
