In India, maintenance engineers and OEMs trust Festo for its reliable performance, precise German engineering, and long-lasting durability. Whether in automotive plants, packaging lines, or food processing units, Festo products are known for helping machines run smoother, faster, and with minimal downtime. From basic pneumatic cylinders to intelligent motion systems, Festo delivers proven solutions across industries.
DSNU-50 – Heavy-Duty Cylinder with Broad Customization and ATEX Certification
The Festo DSNU-50 series offers robust linear motion with a piston diameter of 50 mm and a stroke range up to 500 mm, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. It supports multiple cushioning types—elastic rings, adjustable pneumatic, and self-adjusting end-position cushioning—giving engineers flexibility based on speed and load. Its design includes piston, rod, and stainless-steel barrel, with a G1/4 port for airflow and proximity switch support for position sensing.
What sets this cylinder apart is its wide range of variants: extended rods, male/female threads, rotation protection, axial/lateral air supply, metal scrapers, dust protection, heat-resistant seals (up to 120°C), and ATEX/UKEX certifications. It’s rated for Zone 1, 2, 21, and 22 explosive environments, and supports ambient temperatures up to 120°C. The corrosion resistance class CRC 2/3 and RoHS-compliant materials ensure longevity, even in chemically aggressive or wet environments. With theoretical output forces of 1178 N (advance stroke) and 990 N (return) at 6 bar pressure, the DSNU-50 delivers powerful motion with control.
Where the DSNU-12-70-P-A Fits in – Application Insights
Let’s now look at the Festo DSNU-12-70-P-A, a smaller but precise version of the DSNU family. With a 12 mm piston diameter and 70 mm stroke, it’s ideal for light-duty operations that require accurate, quick actuation. This cylinder is commonly used in pick-and-place units, labelling machines, or compact assembly stations where space is tight but reliability is essential.
For junior engineers, this cylinder helps build foundational knowledge on how motion control works in pneumatic systems. For senior maintenance professionals, its ISO 6432 conformity and easy mounting options mean quicker replacements and fewer errors in high-speed environments. The elastic cushioning ensures quiet operation, and the proximity switch compatibility helps integrate it into automated lines for feedback and safety.
From small component handling to synchronized movement in automation cells, the DSNU-12-70-P-A proves that even compact actuators can play a big role in machine efficiency—especially when backed by Festo's engineering standards.
