Specification

SEODescription

The FESTO QST-16-12 Pneumatic Actuator (QST1612 Festo Actuator) is a compact linear drive designed for industrial automation. It operates within a pressure range of 2-8 bar and temperature limits of -20°C to +80°C, compatible with 24V DC control systems. This double-acting actuator features a 16mm piston stroke and 12mm bore size, supporting direct integration with Festo valve terminals and CPX modular control systems. It interfaces via pneumatic signals without onboard I/O but enables seamless communication through Festo's IO-Link or fieldbus protocols via external controllers. Widely used in packaging, automotive assembly, and material handling, the QST-16-12 excels in rapid cycling applications due to its low friction design and corrosion-resistant aluminum housing. Key advantages include high repeatability and minimal maintenance, though its performance depends on precise air supply regulation. The actuator's standardized mounting simplifies integration with grippers and sensors in modular automation setups.
