Festo DSBC series pneumatic cylinders with adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends of the actuator barrel. Featuring a high-alloy steel piston rod provides excellent running performance, low overall weight and long service life. These double acting pneumatic actuators have dual connection ports for compressed air to be applied for advancing and retracting the piston rod in a linear motion. Magnetic piston rods allow contactless position detection via a proximity sensor mounted in slots along the cylinder body.

The DSBC PPV type adjustable cushioning pneumatic cylinders are equipped with a special cushioning piston as an extension to the main piston. This pneumatic cushioning builds up an air cushion to absorb energy in the end positions, building up and exhausting air in a targeted fashion.. This energy absorbing method makes these cylinders ideal for medium to heavy loads and high speed applications.

The DSBC series pneumatic round actuators conform to ISO 15552 standards allowing them to be mounted in any position to suit the required application. The ISO 15552 standard establishes metric mounting dimensions for cylinders providing interchangeability of commonly used hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Optional mounting accessories provide further flexibility allowing the cylinder to be attached with a swivel bracket for free movement, foot mounted for support under high loads or combined with other actuators to give a wider range of movement.

Pushing and pulling loads in your automated system is a breeze with this pneumatic piston rod cylinder from Festo. It's a versatile piece of kit that handles up to 12 bar of pressure to tackle demanding operations with ease. Thanks to its long 500mm stroke, it's ideal for opening and closing doors, lifting and lowering platforms and handling similar large-scale movements. Attach a proximity switch (such as 121-5836), and this unit's primed and ready to deliver precise positioning.
