Rodless linear drive

The DGC pneumatic linear drive is available in piston diameters from 8 to 63 mm. The rodless linear drives can be configured with plain bearings or recirculating ball bearing guides and with the option of shock absorbers and a second slide for particularly heavy loads. A common feature across the entire range is improved guidance quality, higher characteristic load values and torque capacity.

The drives can also be delivered faster as bore sizes 18, 25, 32 and 40 mm are now assembled in Australia. In these sizes, a ‘made to order’ DGC drive can be despatched within three working days. The drives have minimised installation space requirements and proximity sensors integrated into the cylinder profiles. The actuators also employ a sealing strip which is mechanically clipped into the extrusion, which ensures low air leakage, even over long strokes.

Faster installation is made possible because the end-position adjustment, sensor, mounting, air connections and pneumatic-end position cushioning are all accessible from the same side
