Product Information

Full details

The Festo DSNU-50-200-PPS-A is designed for automation engineers and industrial maintenance professionals who require a high-precision, double-acting pneumatic solution for linear motion tasks. Its primary benefit is the self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning system that saves significant setup time by automatically adapting to varying speeds and loads. While it offers superior reliability and ease of integration via its magnetic piston, users should note that as a double-acting cylinder, it requires a directional control valve and proper pneumatic plumbing to operate effectively compared to single-acting alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the force output of this cylinder?

At 6 bar, the cylinder provides a theoretical advancing force of 1178.1 N.

Does this cylinder require manual cushioning adjustments?

No, the PPS suffix indicates self-adjusting pneumatic end-position cushioning, which removes the need for manual adjustment.

Can I use proximity sensors with this model?

Yes, the cylinder includes a magnetic piston specifically for sensing applications.

Is this a single-acting or double-acting cylinder?

This is a double-acting cylinder, meaning it requires air to move in both the extend and retract directions.

What is the total stroke length?

The cylinder features a 200 mm stroke length.

What is the bore diameter?

The bore diameter is 50 mm.

Troubleshooting

Piston is moving sluggishly or erratically

Check the air supply pressure and ensure the control valve is fully switching; clean or replace the air filter to ensure flow.

Cushioning seems ineffective

Ensure the air pressure is within the operating range and check that there are no leaks in the tubing connecting the valve to the cylinder.

Sensors fail to trigger

Verify that the proximity sensors are compatible with the cylinder magnetic field and check that they are positioned correctly within the mounting grooves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatic cushioning reduces maintenance and setup time
  • Magnetic sensing capabilities enable precise automation control
  • Consistent force output of 1178.1 N at 6 bar
  • Durable design for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Requires external valve hardware to operate
  • Larger footprint compared to compact guided cylinders
  • Requires clean, filtered air to maintain optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, mount the cylinder using appropriate rod clevises or flange mounts to ensure proper alignment with the load. Always install a pneumatic filter/regulator to ensure clean, dry air is supplied at the recommended operating pressure. Use a standard 5/2 or 5/3 directional control valve to manage the extension and retraction of the piston. For position monitoring, slide proximity sensors into the designated slots on the cylinder body and secure them according to the sensor documentation. Regularly inspect the piston rod for debris and ensure the seals remain lubricated through standard air-line oiling if the system is not specifically designed for non-lubricated operation.
