Product Information

Full details

This guide is for engineers and technicians working with industrial automation. The Festo 63mm Bore, 20mm Stroke Double Acting Cylinder offers reliable pneumatic actuation with an adjustable cushioning system, providing a key benefit of precise control over movement. A potential caveat to consider is its specific stroke length, which may require alternative models for longer travel needs. This cylinder, part of the DSBC series, is compliant with ISO 15552 and features a magnetic piston for position sensing, two sensor slots, and a standard profile design for broad compatibility with mounting accessories.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?

While not explicitly stated in the provided data, ISO 15552 cylinders typically operate up to 10 bar. Always refer to the specific product datasheet for exact specifications.

How do I adjust the pneumatic cushioning?

The cylinder features adjustable cushioning at both ends. Use the dedicated adjustment screws (typically located at the cylinder cap ends) to tune the deceleration. Turn clockwise to increase cushioning and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

Can I use this cylinder for applications requiring a longer stroke?

This specific model has a 20mm stroke. For longer travel requirements, Festo offers various other DSBC series cylinders with different stroke lengths, such as the 80mm or 160mm stroke variants.

What type of mounting accessories are compatible?

This cylinder has a standard profile design and is compatible with a wide range of standard mounting accessories from Festo, including foot mounts, flange mounts, and clevis adapters.

How does the magnetic piston work?

The magnetic piston allows for non-contact detection of the cylinder's position. When the piston moves, its integrated magnet can be detected by compatible magnetic field sensors (e.g., proximity switches) mounted externally to the cylinder body.

What is the expected force output?

At an operating pressure of 6 bar, the cylinder delivers 1870 N of force when advancing (extending).

Troubleshooting

Cylinder does not move

Verify compressed air supply to both ports. Check for air leaks in lines and connections. Ensure control valve is functioning correctly and directing air to the cylinder.

Slow or jerky movement

Check air pressure and flow rate. Ensure the air supply is clean and free of debris. Adjust cushioning screws if they are set too restrictively. Inspect for internal wear or damage.

Cushioning is ineffective or too harsh

Adjust the pneumatic cushioning screws. Turn clockwise to increase cushioning (slower deceleration) and counter-clockwise to decrease it (faster deceleration). Ensure screws are properly seated.

Sensor not detecting position

Ensure the magnetic piston is present and correctly oriented. Check sensor alignment and connection to the control system. Verify sensor compatibility and settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction for industrial environments.
  • Adjustable cushioning enhances control and component longevity.
  • Standard compliance simplifies integration into existing systems.
  • Magnetic piston supports easy automation and control integration.
  • Versatile mounting options due to standard profile.

Cons

  • Limited stroke length (20mm) may not suit all applications.
  • Requires a compressed air supply and associated infrastructure.
  • Force output is dependent on air pressure.
  • Specific mounting accessories may be required and sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the cylinder using compatible Festo mounting accessories, ensuring secure and aligned installation.
  2. Connect compressed air lines to the appropriate ports for advancement and retraction. Ensure air quality meets specified standards.
  3. If using sensors, install them in the designated sensor slots and connect to your control system.
  4. Adjust the pneumatic cushioning screws at both ends to achieve the desired deceleration profile for your application. Start with a few turns and test.

Compatibility:

  • This cylinder is ISO 15552 compliant, ensuring compatibility with other components following this standard.
  • It is designed to work with standard pneumatic control valves and compressed air systems.
  • A wide range of Festo mounting accessories, such as clevis, flange, or foot mounts, are compatible with its standard profile.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect air connections for leaks.
  • Maintain the compressed air supply, ensuring it is clean, dry, and lubricated as per pneumatic system guidelines.
  • Periodically check the cushioning adjustment and re-tune if performance degrades or operating conditions change.
  • Clean the exterior of the cylinder with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
