DGC

Function

When the compressed air ports are pressur
ized alternately, the piston moves backwards
and forwards in the tubing. By means of a
rigid connection, the outer slide also moves.
The slot in the cylinder barrel required for this
is covered by a band system.

Application

The DGC has been desigined for the space−
saving transport of masses.
It is permitted for operation in slide mode and
yoke mode (observe loading limits).
The pressureless movement of the slide is
only permitted for rectifying faults and at low
speed.
If the speed is too high, the resulting low pressure can pull the sealing band into
the piston chamber. This can lead to:
excessive leakage and
non−permitted accelerations (e.g. if fitted in a vertical position).
