3 Function
The piston movement of the DAPS is converted to a rotary movement by means of
yoke kinematics (Scotch yoke). These kinematics are only effective within an angle
of approx. 90°.
For double-acting quarter turn actuators:
Pressurising and venting of the cylinder chambers
cause the piston in the DAPS to move back and forth.
The Fig. 3
linear motion of the piston is transformed into a swiv-
el motion of the transmission shaft.
For single-acting quarter turn actuators:
Return is through spring force.
Product designs with different spring strengths are
available ( Fig. 2). Fig. 4

Note
Product variants without specification of an adjustment range have no possibility
for setting end positions, e.g. all product variants made of stainless steel
(DAPS-...-CR).
The now following description for end position setting refers to the following sizes
in the designs “Standard” and “Low temperature” (-T6):
– DAPS-…-R-…(double-acting); size 0015 up to 1920 ( section 8.2)
– DAPS-…-RS.. (single-acting); size 0015 up to 0960 ( section 8.3)
Information on adjustment of the end position for other sizes can be found, if ap-
plicable, in the appendix to the operating instructions supplied with the product
( www.festo.com). 1 2 3 4 5

For these product variants, the end position that the actuator takes during venting
through port 4 (B) can be adjusted (turn to the right - close process valve).
