Size 10 double-acting pneumatic semi-rotary vane drive. 180° fixed swivel angle, 0.85Nm torque at 6bar. Features hollow flanged shaft and elastic cushioning.
The Festo DSM-10-180-P-A-FW (part number 185944) is a compact, high-performance double-acting pneumatic semi-rotary vane drive designed for precision automation. Engineered for rotational movements up to a fixed 180-degree angle, it delivers a theoretical torque of 0.85 Nm at 6 bar operating pressure. This size 10 actuator features a robust hollow flanged drive shaft manufactured from high-alloy stainless steel, elastic cushioning plates at both ends to absorb kinetic impact, and integrated magnets allowing for contactless position sensing via proximity switches. Its lightweight yet durable construction utilizes an anodized aluminum housing and reliable TPE-U(PU) static seals. Capable of functioning in environments from 0°C to 60°C and pressures ranging from 2.5 to 8 bar, this actuator provides superior performance for automated sorting, end-of-arm tooling, and lightweight materials handling applications.

The actuator's quick 180-degree rotation and 3 Hz maximum swivel frequency make it ideal for rapidly flipping or reorienting small electronic or mechanical parts on high-speed conveyor lines.
Replaces complex linear-to-rotary conversion mechanisms, providing a direct, space-saving rotary motion to orient components correctly before final assembly.
Weighing only 159g with an anodized aluminum housing, this rotary actuator is perfect for mounting as a wrist axis on a pneumatic robotic arm or pick-and-place gantry, precisely rotating gripped workpieces.
Reduces the payload stress on robotic joints by offering an extremely lightweight rotary joint that still provides sufficient torque for small parts handling.
Installed in precise fluid control panels to open or close miniature ball valves or butterfly valves by utilizing the double-acting rotary stroke and elastic cushioning to minimize mechanical shock.
Ensures reliable, impact-dampened 180-degree valve operation in low-pressure industrial environments, maximizing valve lifespan and maintaining strict fluid control.
