Festo launched its new large cylinder DSBG that weighs 20% less than its predecessor and is even sturdier.
The tie rod design and newly developed end cap make this large cylinder the lightest in its class. The new large cylinder DSBG is available in four sizes, 160mm, 200mm, 250mm and 320mm. With X-strokes and a large modular system with many variants such as ATEX and heat-resistant up to 150°C, the DSBG is extremely flexible in use and delivers excellent performance even in harsh conditions. The adaptable and easy-to-install cylinder sensors SMT-8M-A and the powerful pneumatic connection technology make the DSBG even more attractive.
A less apparent but crucial feature is the P cushioning. An elastic ring completely absorbs low-level impact energy and at the same time reduces noise and vibration. At higher energy levels, the P cushioning provides effective support for the pneumatic PPV cushioning. The piston requires far less abrupt braking than with its predecessor. Despite this, the DSBG is very precise in its end positions: even at 3–4 bar, the rubber component is compressed after a short time, and the piston makes metal-to-metal contact.
