Festo Floating Joint FK-M8, For Use With Cylinder, To Fit M8 Bore Size

Festos range of mounting accessories for ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinders. They have a huge variety to choose from, offering versitle mounting options for Festos pneumatic cylinders.

Introducing one of Festos trusted piston rod attachments, it is a self-aligning quick coupler. The FK-M8 rod coupler links the piston rod end of all cylinder types to machine parts, to be moved to compensate for radial misalignment and angular deviations.

• Sturdy & Functional
• Free of copper and PTFE, whilst conforming to RoHS
• Forms part of a range of mounting accessories which are used in conjunction with Festos pneumatic cylinders
• The rod coupler has a corrosion resistance classification of 2, allowing for moderate corrosion stress
• Ambient temperature range of -40 to 150°C
• The bushing, housing, and nut are comprised of galvanised steel
• The ball pin and spherical washer are made from case hardened steel
• The product is lightweight - 50g
• Forms part of Festos Simplified Motion Series

The simplified motion series combines simplicity of pneumatics with the advantages of electrical automation tasks. The simplified motion series hosts a range of integrated drives which form the perfect solution for those seeking an electric alternative to simple movement and positioning tasks to that of traditional electric drive systems that are usually complex and over-complicated.
• Includes IO-Link and digital I/O (DIO), removing the need for software in your operation. This design is simply based on "plug and work"
• The plug and work principle provides easy commissioning, all parameters are manually adjustable directly on the actuator - no software required
• Each drive has been designed for simple movement between two end positions
• Provides users with a complete solution with an integrated actuator, motor and servo driver
• Designed for swivel tasks, also applications that involve high loads
• Has a hollow shaft for the integrated duct for cables and hoses
• Standardised mounting interface which is for the direct connection to the electric mini slides EGSL, EGSC and EGSS
• Integrated end positioning sensing
• Products of the Simplified Motion Series: does not need any external servo drive or any control cabinet for the installation

• Integrated - The integrated electronics in the drive are the core of the Simplified Motion Series
• Simple - For commissioning, simply set all relevant parameters directly on the drive (Speed and force, reference end position and cushioning, manual operation)
• Standardised - Electrical connection via M12 plug design (Power 4 pin: power supply for the motor, Logic 8 pin control signal, sensor signal and power for the integrated electronics)
• Connected - Use of extended functions possible via IO-Link (Motion parameters can be set remotely, copy and backup function for transferring parameters and read function for extended process parameters)
