Description
Festo SLG-18-500-YSR-A Pneumatic Linear Slide 18mm Bore 500mm Stroke 8 Bar
The Festo SLG-18-500-YSR-A is a flat-profile pneumatic linear slide from Festo's SLG series — a guided, rodless-style actuator built around a slim extruded aluminum profile body with an integrated dual-rail linear guide. The slide carriage rides along two parallel hardened guide rails and is driven by an internal pneumatic piston, producing smooth, guided linear motion without a protruding piston rod. The YSR suffix designates an integrated sensor mounting rail that runs the length of the body for position sensing accessories.

Applications
Festo SLG series flat linear slides are used in factory automation and machine-building applications where compact, guided linear motion is needed without the overhang of a conventional piston rod. The flat profile makes them well suited for integration into tight assemblies — pick-and-place systems, part transfer and indexing stations, clamping and pressing fixtures, and multi-axis gantry setups. The integrated guide rails handle moment loads that a standard round-body cylinder cannot, making the SLG suitable as a direct actuator for tooling plates, grippers, and fixtures. The 500 mm stroke and 18 mm bore place this unit in a mid-range output class for light to medium payloads. The YSR sensor rail allows magnetic proximity switches or reed sensors to be mounted at any position along the stroke for position feedback in automated sequences. Festo SLG slides of this generation are a common find in semiconductor handling, electronic assembly, and general industrial automation lines.
This Festo SLG-18-500-YSR-A pneumatic linear slide has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition overall. The aluminum extrusion body and carriage are intact with no visible damage to the structure or guide rails. The drive-end fittings and surrounding area show some grime and surface discoloration consistent with industrial service, as visible in the photos. The unit was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use; it has not been powered up or tested at our facility.
