Festo solutions have been completing our catalog dedicated to industrial automation for years. This time, we will delve into how this renowned manufacturer provides the ability to configure pneumatic actuators from a variety of options.
We will also present the main features of one of the latest proposals from Festo: the double-acting round cylinder DSNU-S. This new product promises to provide a solution to the space issues that many designers and equipment manufacturers have to deal with on a daily basis.
Customized Festo pneumatic drives
Industry is a constantly changing dimension and demands increasingly customized solutions to meet market needs. Festo enables equipment manufacturers to configure pneumatic drives from a wide variety of options, among the most common:
- Cushioning. Taking this variable into account will prevent end stroke and, consequently, increase cylinder life.
- Plunger location detection. This issue will be more or less important depending on the type of applications.
- Blocking. Securing the initial position of the actuator in case the pressure drops below a minimum is crucial to ensure the safety of the equipment.
- Anti-spin. Having the ability to configure this option will reduce the twisting movements that the stems themselves may undergo.
The new space-saving pneumatic drive from Festo
Among the new products that Festo is presenting this year is the DSNU-S cylinder. This shorter and narrower actuator is presented as a compact solution for space-saving applications.
Features of the Festo double-acting round cylinder DSNU-S
The DSNU-S cylinder is the equivalent of the standard cylinder (ISO 6432) and is distinguished by a more compact and robust design. The materials used in its manufacture guarantee a long service life, which is undoubtedly a very important aspect when choosing one industrial solution over another. In addition, Festo has launched this product at a very competitive price.
The main features of this Festo drive are:
- It is very easy to fix in tight spaces.
- Its assembly system has been designed to save time thanks to its self-adjusting PPS damping.
- They are very easy to identify thanks to the Product Key code that unequivocally identifies a product.
