Description
The Festo EZH Series Flat Cylinder offers a compact, extremely flat design with a rectangular piston cross-section that protects the unit from rotation. It operates with compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 with operation with oil lubrication possible. The EZH series may be configured with equivalent piston diameters ranging between 3.4 to 22.2mm and up to 50mm stroke length. A magnetic piston provides position sensing for proximity sensors and is included with the 22.2mm size.
The EZH series represents a compact combination of a linear guiding function and a pneumatic drive function. It reduces the center-to-center distance of adjacent cylinders by approximately 40%, compared to round cylinders. This is ideal for maximizing space in compact systems.
When proximity sensing is included, a permanent magnet on the cylinder piston provides a magnetic field that actuates reed-type proximity switches. One or more proximity switches can be clamped in the longitudinal dovetail groove. These switches permit contactless sensing of the end or intermediate positions of the cylinder.
Applications
- Cutting thread
