DSNU-16-40-PPS-A – High-Precision Pneumatic Cylinder with Auto Cushioning
The DSNU-16-40-PPS-A is a double-acting round cylinder designed for smooth linear motion with a 16 mm piston diameter and 40 mm stroke. It features self-adjusting pneumatic end-position cushioning, which adapts automatically to different operating conditions, reducing shock and vibration without manual tuning. The unit operates at a pressure range of 1 to 10 bar using clean compressed air, and conforms to ISO 6432 standards, ensuring global compatibility.
The cylinder body is built with high-alloy stainless steel, while the cover is anodised aluminium, offering strong corrosion resistance (CRC class 2). The piston rod is male-threaded (M6) and supports position sensing via proximity switches. With a compact design, RoHS compliance, and cleanroom suitability (Class 6), the DSNU-16-40-PPS-A is ideal for modern automated systems requiring reliable and low-maintenance actuation.
Applications of DSNU-12-70-P-A – Where This Compact Cylinder Excels
The DSNU-12-70-P-A cylinder is often used in applications where longer stroke lengths are needed in tight spaces, such as in pick-and-place arms, automated inspection stations, or light mechanical pushing operations. It is particularly useful in industries where motion needs to be accurate, quick, and repeatable—without adding unnecessary weight or complexity.
In an assembly line, for instance, this cylinder can move small parts across a defined range, ensuring precise placement with minimal delay. Maintenance engineers appreciate its durability, ease of mounting, and clean design, which simplifies integration into both new and retrofit systems. The double-acting design provides consistent force in both directions, making it ideal for tasks that require controlled in/out motion with minimal shock at the ends—especially when paired with elastic or self-adjusting cushioning.
Overall, the DSNU-12-70-P-A stands out as a dependable solution for those seeking compact, efficient, and high-cycle linear actuation in pneumatic systems.
