The part number **CLR-32-10-R-P-A-B-K11-R8** identifies a specific configuration of a **Linear-Swivel Actuator** manufactured by **Festo**. These components are hybrid pneumatic-mechanical units designed for pick-and-place applications where a combined linear and rotary motion is required. --- ### Component Breakdown The following table decodes the electronic and electromechanical specifications based on the Festo naming convention: | Code | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **CLR** | Series | Linear-swivel actuator (pneumatic drive). | | **32** | Piston Diameter | 32 mm cylinder diameter. | | **10** | Stroke | 10 mm linear stroke length. | | **R** | Swivel Direction | Right-turning (clockwise rotation during the stroke). | | **P** | Cushioning | Flexible cushioning rings/plates at both ends (non-adjustable). | | **A** | Position Sensing | **Integrated Magnet** for proximity sensors (Electronic feedback). | | **B** | Swivel Angle | 90-degree swivel motion. | | **K11** | Protective Feature | Hexagon socket on the piston rod (mechanical interface). | | **R8** | Dust Protection | Enhanced dust protection/Scraper (extended service life). | --- ### Electronic and Sensing Characteristics While the actuator itself is powered by compressed air, the "Electronic" portion of this part number refers to its interaction with control systems and sensors: #### 1. Magnetic Position Sensing ("A") The "A" designation signifies that the internal piston is equipped with a **permanent magnet**. This allows for the installation of external electronic sensors (typically T-slot or C-slot sensors) to detect the position of the rod. * **Sensor Types:** Commonly used with SMT-8M or SME-8M proximity sensors. * **Output:** Transistor (PNP/NPN) or Reed switch signals sent to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). #### 2. Control Integration To operate this part electronically, it must be paired with: * **Solenoid Valves:** 5/2 or 5/3-way valves to control the air flow. * **Flow Control:** Electronic proportional valves or manual one-way flow control valves to regulate the speed of the swivel and linear motion. ### Technical Specifications Summary * **Operating Pressure:** 2 bar to 10 bar. * **Ambient Temperature:** -10°C to +80°C. * **Swivel Angle Tolerance:** +/- 2 degrees. * **Mounting:** Internal threads or through-holes for electronic sensor mounting rails. ---
