Until now, users always needed to adjust the end-position cushioning integrated into Pneumatic accessory cylinders manually, with the risk of slow cycle times or excessive noise generation. Manual adjustment of Micro cylinder end-position cushioning also takes time; this makes commissioning a very long drawn-out process in the case of installations with a lot of drives requiring cushioning.
Without any need Multi-quick fitting for manual interventions, self-adjusting cushioning PPS from Festo now ensures an optimum cushioning action every time, even if parameters such as friction and pressure change. It also reduces the acceleration forces acting on components and workpieces. This cuts down wear and minimises time-consuming vibration. What is more, in comparison with shock absorbers, self-adjusting cushioning is less expensive and more robust. This unique cushioning, not offered by any other supplier, is now available with the Festo round cylinder DSNU, of which millions of examples have already been sold.
