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.

Get your machinery on the move with this pneumatic piston rod cylinder from Festo. Its double-acting design means it delivers powerful forces in both directions, making it suitable for two-step actions such as pushing and pulling. This small but mighty unit handles pressures of up to 12 bar, so it's a versatile option. Reliable PU seals keep air in and debris out to minimise the risk of damage from corrosion and ensure your system runs like a well-oiled machine.

• Performs reliably even in demanding temperatures between -20°C and +80°C
• Standard G1/4 connections for wide compatibility with your existing kit
• Built-in cushioning at both ends absorbs impact energy to minimise wear and tear

• Food and drinks industry
• Agricultural machinery
• Manufacturing facilities

You can secure this unit to the rest of your system by attaching it to a swivel flange (121-5851), trunnion flange (203-0934) or foot mounting (121-4376). These screw directly onto support surfaces to give your cylinder the stability needed to position or clamp heavy items.
