Mount attachment components
Fitting hoses to pressure compensation opening
For pressurising and depressurising the pressure compensation opening on ESBF-...-S1/F1:
Tighten suitable screw connection into the thread 4.
Connect a tube for the supply and exhaust of fresh air.
Alternatives to the routing of this hose:
– in a protected area (dust-free and dry)
– in a large expansion tank
– with low positive pressure (max. 0.2 bar) as sealing air.
Mount attachment component
Place the centre of gravity of the attachment component, if
possible, centrally to the piston rod.
Transmit as little torque as possible to the piston rod. Brace
against key surface 7. Excessively high torque can damage
the mechanism inside the cylinder (è Tab. 2).
Mount the attachment component to the piston rod.
Do not exceed permitted level of transverse force (deflection of
piston rod è Appendix 13 characteristics curves).

Mount accessories
To protect the end positions against uncontrolled overtravel:
Check whether proximity sensors are necessary (as safety limit switches or hardware limit switches).
Use appropriate proximity switches, sensor strips or mounting construction kits. Proximity switches
for polling the internal magnet must be arranged centrally on the flat profile surface
(è www.festo.com/catalogue).
Use proximity sensors with normally-closed function. These protect the ESBF from overrunning of
the limit position if the proximity sensor cable is fractured.
Avoid external influence caused by magnetic or ferritic parts in the vicinity of the proximity sensors.
