• Take into consideration the legal regulations applicable for the destination, as
well as:
– regulations and standards,
– regulations of the testing organizations and insurers,
– national specifications.
• Observe the warnings and notes on the product and in the relevant operating
instructions.
• Remove all transport packaging, such as transparencies, caps and cartons
(with the exception of any covers in the pneumatic ports).
The packaging is intended for recycling
(exception: oil paper = residual waste).
• Take into account the materialspecifications ( 11 Technical data).
• Use the product in its original status, without any unauthorised product modifications.
• Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use.
Corrosive elements in the environment (e.g. ozone) will reduce the service life of
the product.
• Compare the limit values specified in these operating instructions with your
actual application (e.g. pressures, forces, torques, temperatures, masses,
speeds, etc.).
Operation of the product in compliance with the relevant safety regulations is
contingent on adherence to the load limits.
• Take the tolerance of the tightening torques into account. Unless otherwise
specified, the tolerance is ± 20 %.
• Do not modify any screws or threaded pins unless this is requested in these
instructions. For safety reasons, they are fixed with a screw locking agent.
For vertical installation:
• Make sure that the drive has reached a stable position when it comes to a stop
(e.g. the lowest point or secured with external stops).
• Make sure there is a supply of correctly prepared compressed air
( 11 Technical data).
• Having selected a medium, stick with it for the entire life of the product
(e.g. always use unlubricated compressed air).
• Pressurize your entire system slowly.
There will then be no uncontrolled movements. For slow start-up pressurisation,
use on-off valve HEL.

2 Function and application
The DRRD semi-rotary drive is a double-acting twin-piston drive. Whe n the compressed air supply ports are pressurised reciprocally, two pistons arranged in parallel move in the opposite direction backwards and forwards. This linear motion is
converted through pinions into a swivel motion of the flanged shaft. The DRRD has
an elastic end-position c ushioning.
The DRRD semi-rotary drive is intended for swivelling payloads which have to execute a defined angular movement.
4 Installation
4.1 Mechanical installation
Note
• Handle the DRRD with care to prevent damage to the flanged shaft. This applies in particular to the following points:
1. Position the DRRD so that you can easily reach the control sections and connections.
2. Secure the DRRD at the mounting interface 6 by using two screws and two
centring sleeves each.
Observe the tightening torque ( Fig. 3).

3 Requirements for product use
Note
Malfunction and material damage due to incorrect handling.
• Always comply with the specifications of this c hapter.
Only in this way can you ensure that the product functions correctly and
safely.
3. Pull tubing and cables through the
hollow flanged shaft, if necessary.
Diameter for wiring ( Fig. 6).
4. When mounting the payload, observe the following specifications:
– installation without tilting
– permissible radial force Fy
– permissible axial force Fx
– permissible mass moment of
inertia
– a structure that is as rotationally
symmetrical as possible.
Fig. 4
The mass moment of inertia of the payload should be calculated. Lever arms,
cantilevers and masses should be considered in the calculation (maximum permissible values www.festo.com/catalogue).
Note
If there are demanding requirements for concentricity of the components on the
flanged shaft:
• Use the middle centring hole 4 as well as one of the 4 existing centring holes.
5. Secure the payload to the drive
flange at the mounting interface 5
by using at least two screws positioned opposite one another and
centring sleeves.
Observe the tightening torque
( Fig. 6).

4.2 Pneumatic installation
• If necessary, remove the covers in the
pneumatic ports.
To adjust the swivel speed:
• Use the GRLA one-way flow control
valves.
These are screwed directly into the
compressed air supply ports.

• Place the proximitysensors for
sensing the end positions into the
slots 7.

5 Commissioning
Caution
Danger of injury from rotating loads.
• Make sure the DRRD is only set into motion with protective devices.
• Make sure that in the swivel angle of the DRRD
– nobody can reach in
– no foreign objects can enter
(e.g. by means of an individual protective guard).
Note
• Comply with the following prerequisites:
– the sh ock absorbers are secured with lock nuts
– the o perating conditions are within the permissible ranges.
5.1 Commissioning end-position adjustment
1. Rotate both upstream one-way flow
control valves (B):
– at first completely closed
– thenopenthemagain
approximately one turn.
2. Pressurize the drive optionally in one
of the following ways:
– slow pressurisation of one side
– simultaneous pressurisation of
both sides with subsequent
exhausting of one side.
Fig. 9
Note
Risk of damage!
If the shock absorber is unscrewed too far, it will result in the piston colliding
with the end cap with insufficient cushioning.
• Observe the permissible shock absorber settings ( Fig. 13).
3. Pressurize the corresponding port to
swivel the DRRD into the desired end
position.
4. Loosen the lock nut on the shock
absorber.

(B)
For vertical installation and eccentric loads:
• Use the controlled check valve HGL or a compressed air spacer compensation
reservoir VZS.
In this way you can prevent the effective load from sliding down suddenly if
there is a sudden pressure drop.
4.3 Electrical installation
Note
Multiple switching cycles of proximity sensors are possible, dependent on the
design.
• Make sure the proximity sensors are always set to the first switching point.
To do this, push the cylinder switch (A Fig. 8) in from the slot end where the
piston to be sensed is located until the first switching occurs.
5. Turn the corresponding shock
absorber until the desired end
position adjustment has been
reached.
