Important information1

About these repair instructions1.1

This document contains important

information about the professional

repair of the linear drive type DGC-…-G.

The DGC-…-G linear drive is fully

repairable. However, in case of larger

defects, the costs of carrying out a

repair must be considered.

Before carrying out a repair, the

relevant chapter in these instructions

must be read in full and followed

consistently.

For reasons of clarity, these repair

instructions do not contain complete,

detailed information. The following

documents should therefore also be

available while doing repair work on

the linear drive:

Operating instructions•

Contains information about the

control parts and connections

for the linear drive, as well as

information about function, con-

struction, application, installation,

commissioning, care and mainten-

ance, etc. It can be found on the

Festo website (www.Festo.com).

Spare parts documentation•

Contains an overview of the spare

and wearing parts as well as infor-

mation on their installation. The

spare parts documentation can

be found in the online spare parts

catalogue on the Festo website

(spareparts.Festo.com).

Assembly tools•

Contains an overview of the

available assembly tools such as

lubricants, thread locking agents,

maintenance tools etc. (aids for

assembly and maintenance). They

can be found in the online spare

parts catalogue on the Festo web-

site (www.Festo.com).

General safety instructions1.3

Warning

The linear drive must only be repaired by authorised and trained persons in accordance with the specications in the

technical documentation and using original spare parts.

Installation and repair by unauthorised and untrained persons, repairs using non-original spare parts, as well as with-

out the technical documentation required for installation and/or repair, are dangerous and therefore not permitted.

Repairs must only be carried out in conjunction with these repair instructions as well as the respective device-specic

operating instructions.

Note

Instead of carrying out the repair yourself, your local Festo sales ofce offers the option of having the repair carried

out by Festo.

Environment

Components and equipment replaced as part of a repair must be disposed of in accordance with the locally valid envir-

onmental protection regulations.

General product description2

Functional description2.1

The DGC-…-G is the basic version of the DGC linear drive family. It is a linear drive with the functional principle of a

double-acting piston for power transmission. When compressed air is applied to the ports alternately, the piston moves

backwards and forwards in the piston chamber. A rigid connection moves the slide with the attached load (e.g. adapter

plate with drive) on the guide rail. The slot in the cylinder barrel required for this is covered by a band system. The slide is

mounted on slide elements and thus only designed for low-level loads. The operating behaviour in case of torsional loads

is in the medium range.

The DGC-…-G, when used properly, is used for transporting loads in a space-saving manner and is approved for the

operating modes slide mode and yoke mode (adhere to the load limits).

These graphics provide you with an overview of the construction of the linear drive using the DGC-25-…-G as an example.
