Product Information

Full details

This Festo DSNU-40-250-PPS-A double-acting round cylinder is designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise and reliable linear motion. Its key benefit lies in its self-adjusting pneumatic end-position cushioning, which optimizes performance and reduces setup time. A potential caveat is the requirement for a minimum operating pressure of 1 bar. Key features include a 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, magnetic piston for position sensing, and robust construction for durability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?

The maximum operating pressure for the Festo DSNU-40-250-PPS-A cylinder is 10 bar.

What is the minimum ambient temperature for operation?

The minimum ambient temperature for operation is -20 °C.

How does the self-adjusting cushioning work?

The pneumatic cushioning automatically adapts to changes in load and speed at the end of the stroke, providing smooth deceleration without manual adjustment.

Can I use this cylinder without position sensing?

Yes, the magnetic piston is an optional feature for position sensing. The cylinder will function correctly for linear motion without external sensors.

What material is the piston rod made of?

The piston rod is made of steel.

What is the stroke length of this cylinder?

The stroke length of this cylinder is 250 mm.

How do I determine the correct mounting accessories?

Mounting accessory selection depends on the specific application, orientation, and environmental conditions. Consult the Festo documentation for compatible mounting options.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder not extending or retracting smoothly

Check air pressure is within the 1-10 bar range. Ensure air supply is clean and free of debris. Verify that the piston rod is not obstructed or misaligned. Inspect pneumatic lines for leaks.

Inconsistent end-of-stroke cushioning

The self-adjusting cushioning should handle most variations. If issues persist, ensure the operating speed and load are within the cylinder's specified limits. Check for obstructions near the end of the stroke.

Position sensor not detecting cylinder position

Ensure the sensor is compatible with the magnetic piston and is correctly positioned. Check sensor wiring and power supply. Verify that the cylinder is within the sensor's detection range.

Air leaks from cylinder body or ports

Inspect seals and connections. Tighten pneumatic fittings. If leaks persist, the internal seals may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Self-adjusting cushioning simplifies setup and improves operational efficiency.
  • Magnetic piston allows for easy integration with position sensors.
  • Durable construction ensures long service life in industrial settings.
  • Double-acting design provides controlled movement in both directions.
  • Suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum operating pressure of 1 bar.
  • Maximum operating pressure is limited to 10 bar.
  • May require specific mounting accessories for certain applications.
  • Weight of 1261 g might be a consideration for very lightweight applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the cylinder to a compressed air supply via the G1/4" pneumatic connector. Ensure the air supply meets the ISO 8573-1:2010 standard ([7:4:4]). Mount the cylinder using appropriate accessories that match the required orientation and load. Adjust air pressure to be within the 1 to 10 bar operating range. For position sensing, attach compatible magnetic sensors to the cylinder's exterior.

Compatibility: This cylinder is designed to work with standard pneumatic control systems. The G1/4" port is a common industrial standard. Ensure your control system can provide air within the specified quality and pressure range. The magnetic piston is compatible with standard Festo magnetic field sensors and other similar sensors.

Care: Regularly inspect the cylinder for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the air supply is clean and dry to prevent contamination of internal components. Periodically check pneumatic connections for leaks. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. For long-term maintenance, consult the manufacturer's detailed service manual.
