Pneumatic mini slides

DGST pneumatic mini slides offer a small footprint, high feed force, precision operation, and ease of installation for precision handling, press fitting, pick and place, and electronic and light assembly applications.

A backlash-free piston rod/yoke connection extends the slide’s service life. Maintenance-free twin-piston drives and high force capacity recirculating ball bearing guides provide the DGST with 2x the power of other slides – from 7.6 lbf to 132.6 lbf (34N to 590N) at 6 bar.

Cushioning and proximity sensors do not extend beyond the slide’s footprint. Three cushioning options are available. Two slides can be piggybacked in minutes by bolting the units together – adaptor plates are not needed. Locating port connections, end-position sensing, and precision end-position adjustment on one side contributes to ease of installation.
