Festo Introduces the New DSBC Pneumatic Family of Cylinders That Save Significant Design and Install
New Festo cushioning technology - PPS - adapts itself automatically to changing loads and speeds.
Festo introduces the new DSBC family of ISO 15552 standard pneumatic cylinders, all of which feature the company's unique PPS self-adjusting cushioning capability. PPS ensures that cushioning into the end position is dynamic, but gentle, and requires no manual intervention. PPS eliminates the time consuming back and forth typically required during the adjustment stage of installing pneumatic cylinders.
The DSBC has the reliability and sturdiness of the popular ISO 15552 standard Festo cylinders DNC and DNCB and takes those actuators one step further with its unique self-adjusting cushioning capabilities. This self-adjusting ability ensures optimum cushioning performance at all times without the need for any manual intervention - even for changes in parameters such as friction and pressure, thus reducing wear and vibration.
A wide range of configuration options are available for the following: Seals, including chemical resistant; Scrapers, including those optimized for high dust areas, i.e. packaging;Safety, including rob clamp or mechanical end lock; Low friction or slow speed; Environments - low to high temperature conditions; and high moisture, including wash down.
A bumper has been integrated into the DSBC seal for both noise and vibration reduction. Sizes range from 1.3 to 4.9 inches (32 to 125 millimeters).
"The overall capabilities, wide range of options, and the fact it meets the ISO 15552 standard makes the DSBC ideal for those OEMs seeking the benefits of standardizing on a single family of pneumatic cylinders - shorter engineering time, smaller inventory, less training, and, in the case of DSBC, improved performance," said Frank Langro, director marketing / product management. "The Festo online product configurator makes ordering quick and efficient. In terms of the total package, no one in the pneumatics industry offers a family of cylinders comparable to the DSBC."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
