Light-load mechanical systems equipped with separate external linear guides

Selection Pitfalls for G Variant

1.-G` has no integrated guide. It cannot bear lateral forces or tilting moments independently. An external linear rail is mandatory; de outra forma, the sealing band will wear rapidly and the slide may jam.

2. For heavy loads, high precision or large tilting moments, upgrade to DGC-40-600-KF-PPV-A (integrated recirculating ball guide with zero clearance and greatly improved load capacity).
3. For strokes longer than 1000 mm running at high speed, add intermediate HPC support brackets to prevent profile deflection.
4. Install protective bellows accessory for dusty environments or applications with cutting fluid splashes.
5. Direct Replacement Models with Same Bore & AVC
6. High-precision integrated guide alternative: DGC-40-600-KF-PPV-A (derived from same part number series 532449)
7. Cost-effective plain bearing guide alternative: DGC-40-600-GF-PPV-A
8. Compact short-stroke substitute: DGPL series guided rodless cylinder
9. Domestic equivalent alternatives: Airtac HTD40×600, SMC MY3B40-600
10. Falhas Comuns & Manutenção
11. Stick-slip motion / insufficient thrust: Cushion throttle fully closed, insufficient supply pressure, foreign debris trapped on sealing band
12. Vazamento de ar: Worn end cap seals, damaged stainless steel band, aged cushion screw sealing rings
13. Slide jamming: Deformation caused by excessive lateral load, misalignment without external guiding
14. Ciclo de manutenção: Maintenance-free up to 5000 km under standard operating conditions; clean and lubricate the sealing band every 2000 km in dusty environments

9. Maximum allowable protrusion height of fixture bolts on slide top: ≤6 mm to avoid scratching the sealing band
10. Quick Reference Dimension Table (Unidade: milímetros)

7. Precauções de instalação

1.-G` variant has no integrated guide. The cylinder body is only fixed by bottom T-slots; all lateral loads must be supported by an external linear guide.

2. Total length of 600 mm stroke unit is 858 milímetros. For horizontal mounting under heavy load, add one intermediate HPC-40 support bracket to prevent profile sagging.
3. M8 fixture screws on slide top must not be screwed deeper than 9 milímetros, to avoid damaging internal piston assembly.
4. Magnetic switches are inserted into full-length A-type grooves on both sides; switches can be installed at any position along the full 600 curso mm.
