What it is

The Festo DFM-12-50-P-A-KF is a guided actuator designed for precise linear motion in automation tasks. Supplied new in a single box under part number 170904, it carries a red finish and is built to Festo industrial standards. The unit integrates guiding and drive functions in one compact body for reliable positioning.

Who it suits

Engineers specifying pick-and-place, pressing or clamping stations will value the integrated guide that resists side loads and torsion. Buyers who need a standalone cylinder without built-in guidance or who require a different bore size should look at alternative actuator types. The three-year parts and one-year labour coverage supports planned maintenance cycles.

Sustained operation

Under continuous cycling the guided carriage maintains alignment, reducing wear on seals and bearings compared with unguided equivalents. The robust construction dissipates heat generated by repeated strokes, allowing consistent speed and force over long shifts. Regular lubrication intervals keep friction low and prevent premature component fatigue.

Questions about this item

What compressed-air supply is required for the DFM-12-50-P-A-KF guided actuator to operate?

The unit needs a clean, dry compressed-air source regulated to the pressure range specified in the Festo data sheet for the 12 mm bore size.

Can the 50 mm stroke actuator be mounted on the same profile rails as older Festo guided cylinders?

Mounting hole pattern and centre distances follow the DFM series standard, so it aligns with legacy DFM units of the same bore.

How do I verify the 170904 actuator is extending and retracting correctly after installation?

Pressurise the ports in turn and confirm smooth, repeatable 50 mm travel with no binding or side-play on the guide rods.
