Festo Rodless DGC-K Cylinder: Compact Linear Solutions for Industrial Automation
As an authorized Festo dealer serving the vital industrial zones of Saurashtra and Kutch, we are proud to offer the Festo DGC-K rodless cylinder. This mechanically coupled linear drive is engineered for industries that demand high precision and reliability within a minimal footprint. Whether you are operating in Rajkot, Navsari, Patan, or Dwarka, the DGC-K series provides a robust solution for simple drive functions without the need for external guides.
Understanding the Mechanically Coupled Design
The FESTO DGC-K cylinder operates on a mechanically coupled principle. Unlike traditional piston rod cylinders, the slide of the DGC-K is moved via a mechanical coupling connected directly to the piston. This design requires the pneumatic chamber to be open longitudinally, which is then sealed by a high-durability, flexible sealing band. This innovative approach allows the FESTO rodless cylinder DGC-K to facilitate much longer stroke lengths than conventional cylinders, making it the primary choice for large-scale machinery across Gujarat.
Key Features and Advantages
- Compact Footprint: The DGC-K FESTO rodless cylinder is designed for space-sensitive applications. It is 30% smaller than the basic DGC-G design, allowing for denser machine layouts.
- Eccentric Sealing System: Featuring a state-of-the-art sealing mechanism, this drive ensures virtually leak-free operation over long strokes, reducing energy costs and maintenance intervals.
- Symmetrical Design: The symmetrical architecture allows for versatile mounting and integration into existing systems without complex re-engineering.
- Low Moving Dead Weight: By eliminating the heavy piston rod, the DGC-K reduces the moving mass, allowing for faster cycle times and reduced wear on the drive components.
- Cost-Effective Simplicity: Optimized for simple drive functions without external guides, it provides a high return on investment for straightforward positioning tasks.

Optimized for Long-Stroke Performance
One of the primary challenges in industrial automation is managing space. In cities like Rajkot, Gandidham, Mundra, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Surendranagar, Saurastra and Kutchand Patan, where manufacturing floor space is at a premium, the FESTO rodless DGC-K cylinder offers a significant advantage. Because the cylinder length is only slightly longer than the stroke itself, it eliminates the need for the clearance required by a protruding piston rod. This makes it ideal for door opening mechanisms, material transfer stations, and conveyor sorting systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does the DGC-K differ from the DGC-G model?
The Festo DGC-K rodless cylinder is specifically designed to be 30% smaller than the DGC-G. While the G-model often incorporates more robust guiding systems, the K-model is optimized for simple functions where external guides are either not required or provided by the machine frame itself.
2. What is the maximum stroke length available for the DGC-K?
The FESTO rodless DGC-K cylinder can accommodate strokes up to 8500 mm, depending on the piston diameter. This makes it far superior to piston rod cylinders for long-distance linear movement.
3. Is the sealing band replaceable?
Yes, as an authorized dealer in Gujarat, we provide genuine Festo spare parts, including the flexible sealing bands and eccentric seal components, to ensure your drive maintains its leak-free performance for years.
4. Where can I get technical support for Festo products in Dwarka or Kutch?
We provide localized support across Saurashtra and Kutch. Our engineers can visit your site in Dwarka, Patan, or Navsari to help with product selection and troubleshooting of your FESTO DGC-K cylinder systems.
