Festo Silencers Aluminium Pneumatic Silencer 10 bar Threaded G

Festo Silencers Series Pneumatic Silencer, 1/2 inches Connection size, 10 Bar Maximum Operating Pressure - U-1/2-B, Numeric Part Number: 6844

This pneumatic silencer reduces exhaust noise and vents compressed Air in industrial pneumatic systems. It is designed for threaded installation into G-standard ports and suits environments where controlled depressurisation and noise attenuation are required. Its construction and rated operating limits make it suitable for routine use within specified temperature and pressure ranges.

Features & Benefits

• Male G thread enables direct threaded connection and simple fitting
  Aluminium construction provides lightweight corrosion resistance
  Maximum operating pressure 10 bar supports common pneumatic networks
  Noise reduction 81 dB lowers audible exhaust levels in plant areas
  Operating temperature range −10°C to 70°C allows varied ambient use
  Compact overall length 116.5mm permits installation in tight spaces

**Applications**

• Suitable for exhaust ports on pneumatic valves in automation panels
  Ideal for use with compressed Air actuators in mechanical assemblies
  Used for noise control on pneumatic cylinders in production lines
  Can be used for venting duties in electrical control enclosures
  Used with compressed Air systems in electronics manufacturing setups

What thread type is required for correct installation?

It fits into a G-standard threaded port with a male connection interface.

What materials should be considered for adjacent fittings?

Use fittings compatible with aluminium bodies and G-threaded connections to avoid galvanic issues.

How does temperature affect performance limits?

Continuous operation should remain within −10°C to 70°C to preserve material properties and noise attenuation.

Can it handle Peak pressure surges above rated pressure?

The component is specified for up to 10 bar
exceeding this risks compromised function and should be avoided.
