Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the theoretical advancing force at 6 bar?

The theoretical advancing force for the DSBF-C-50-500-PPVA-N3-R at 6 bar is 1178 N.

What does ISO 15552 compliance mean for this cylinder?

It means the cylinder adheres to international standards for dimensions, mounting, and performance, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of accessories and systems.

Can this cylinder be used in food processing applications?

Yes, it is suitable for food processing due to its NSF-H1 grease and FDA-compliant seals.

How do I adjust the cushioning?

Use the adjustable pneumatic cushioning screws located at each end of the cylinder. Turn clockwise to increase resistance and counter-clockwise to decrease it for a smoother stop.

What is the benefit of the magnetic piston?

The magnetic piston allows for easy integration with magnetic sensors, enabling reliable position detection for automation and control systems.

What type of air supply is recommended?

A clean, dry compressed air supply is recommended. For optimal longevity, consider air preparation units including filters and regulators.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder does not extend or retract.

Verify compressed air supply pressure and flow. Check for air leaks at connections and seals. Ensure the control valve is functioning correctly.

Cylinder moves slowly or with reduced force.

Check air pressure and flow rate. Inspect for internal friction or blockages. Ensure the piston seal is not damaged. Verify the load is within the cylinder's force capacity.

Cylinder impacts hard at the end of stroke.

Adjust the pneumatic cushioning screws. Increase cushioning by turning the screws clockwise. Ensure cushioning is properly enabled.

Position sensor is not detecting the piston.

Confirm the sensor is compatible with magnetic pistons and is correctly positioned along the cylinder's stroke. Ensure the magnetic piston is intact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High hygiene standards suitable for sensitive industries.
Adjustable cushioning for optimized performance and reduced stress on machinery.
Magnetic piston allows for straightforward integration with sensing systems.
Robust construction compliant with ISO 15552 standard.
Significant force output for its size.

Cons

Requires a clean and dry compressed air supply.
Proper installation and alignment are critical for optimal performance.
Specialized fittings may be needed depending on the connection type.
Pneumatic cushioning requires initial adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure a clean and dry compressed air supply that meets the cylinder's operational pressure requirements.
Connect the pneumatic lines to the appropriate ports, ensuring a secure fit.
Mount the cylinder using compatible ISO 15552 mounting accessories, ensuring proper alignment with the driven load.
Adjust the pneumatic cushioning screws at both ends. Turn clockwise to increase cushioning resistance and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Test operation to achieve smooth stopping.
Install magnetic sensors on the cylinder's profile for position feedback if required.

Compatibility:

This cylinder is compliant with the ISO 15552 standard, ensuring compatibility with standard profile cylinder mounting hardware and accessories.
It requires a compressed air supply with appropriate filtration and lubrication (if not using self-lubricating variants).
Check specific port connection sizes (e.g., G thread) to ensure compatibility with your existing pneumatic fittings.

Care:

Regularly inspect the cylinder for any signs of wear or damage.
Maintain the compressed air supply, ensuring it is free from contaminants and moisture. Use appropriate filters.
If the cylinder is used in a high-hygiene environment, follow established cleaning protocols for the surrounding equipment. The cylinder itself is designed for minimal particle generation.
