Festo Stainless-steel cylinders
Their applications
Reliable components need to be fully functional and operational, even in harsh operating conditions. The aim is to maximise availability of machinery while minimising downtimes. Stainless-steel cylinders are therefore used in applications where the surface finish of normal pneumatic drives would not be able to withstand the surrounding media. However, designing a corrosion-resistant system involves more than simply selecting a suitable steel: it also requires the selection of a matching concept for mounting components and accessories.
ABB strength
Festo’s stainless-steel cylinders are characterised by resistant materials, such as 1.4301 and 1.4401. These popular high-alloy, stainless austenitic chrome-nickel and chrome-nickel-molybdenum steels protect against chemical or electrochemical stress as well as damage to the surface materials caused by cleaning agents or disinfectants. These groups of materials are
particularly resistant to uniform surface corrosion and offer increased protection against pitting and crevice corrosion.
The benefits to you
Festo’s worldwide service network ensures optimum availability of stainless steel cylinders. As well as a comprehensive range of standards-based cylinders to DIN ISO 15552 and 6432, we also offer a range of matching mounting components and accessories. The stainless-steel cylinders are assembled with grease that is compliant with NSF-H1 and wipers in accordance with BGVV (Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) guidelines. This means that they are suitable for use in the food area. We will be pleased to provide you with further information about
future additions to our stainless-steel range. Just get in touch with us.
