Festo
161242
Flat cylinder DZF-18-100-A-P-A
The Festo 161242 is a double-acting industrial component featuring an 18 mm equivalent piston diameter, a 100 mm stroke, and an M8 piston rod thread with an oval piston providing an integrated anti-torsion guide. Operating at pressures from 1 bar to 10 bar using compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4], this unit includes elastic cushioning rings at both ends and accommodates position sensing via proximity switches in any mounting position. It achieves a theoretical retracting force of 123 N at 6 bar while withstanding a maximum torque of 0.2 Nm and an ambient temperature range of -20 °C to 80 °C.

Request a QuoteWhy no listed price?
Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.
