Festo – A Global Leader in Automation Technology
Festo is a renowned name in the field of industrial automation, trusted by engineers, technicians, and plant heads around the world. Known for its German engineering excellence, Festo delivers highly reliable pneumatic and electric automation solutions. In India, Festo cylinders are widely used in factories, process plants, machine-building setups, and even engineering colleges, due to their consistent performance, safety features, and long service life.
DSNU-16-50-PPS-A – Built for Precision and Endurance
The DSNU-16-50-PPS-A is a robust round cylinder with a 50 mm stroke and 16 mm piston diameter, designed for compact and precise motion control. It operates on compressed air (ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]) with a double-acting mechanism, delivering force in both forward and return strokes. What sets this model apart is its self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning at both ends, which automatically adapts to varying speeds and loads—reducing wear, noise, and vibration.
The cylinder features an M6 male thread piston rod, M5 pneumatic connection, and allows for optional mounting positions using standard Festo accessories. Built from anodised aluminium and high-alloy stainless steel, it meets RoHS compliance and is suitable for cleanroom use (Class 6 ISO 14644-1). With moderate corrosion resistance (CRC Class 2) and reliable position detection via proximity sensors, this cylinder is fit for most general industrial applications.
Where DSNU-12-70-P-A Cylinders Excel in Real-World Use
The DSNU-12-70-P-A is commonly used in automated workstations, compact machines, and testing setups where a 70 mm stroke is ideal for pushing, clamping, or lifting tasks. It’s particularly effective in pick-and-place systems, automated assembly lines, and small part handling units that require smooth and consistent motion without much footprint.
Maintenance engineers value it for its durable build, low maintenance, and compatibility with feedback sensors for smart factory applications. Its double-acting design ensures controlled forward and backward movement, while the slim profile makes it easy to integrate into tight or mobile setups. For engineering students and new technicians, it offers a hands-on understanding of pneumatic actuation, making it a useful tool in lab experiments or college projects.
This cylinder brings together ease of use, automation-readiness, and long-term reliability—making it a go-to choice for modern industrial systems.
