DSBG-100-500-PPVA-N3 Festo ISO cylinder

Technical Overview

The DSBG-100-500-PPVA-N3 is a high-performance double-acting ISO cylinder conforming to ISO 15552 standards. It features a 100 mm piston diameter and a 500 mm stroke, delivering a robust theoretical advance stroke force of 4712 N at 0.6 MPa. Designed for durability and precision, it includes adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends and is prepared for position detection via proximity switches. The unit is constructed with a coated die-cast aluminum cover and a smooth-anodised wrought aluminum alloy cylinder barrel, offering moderate corrosion resistance (CRC 2) and RoHS compliance.

Industrial Applications

1. Automotive Frame Transfer Station Pusher

Utilized in automotive assembly lines to push heavy chassis frames between conveyor tracks. The cylinder's 500 mm stroke allows it to bridge the gap between adjacent conveyors, while the high 4712 N advance force at 0.6 MPa ensures heavy loads are moved efficiently.

Problem Solved

Prevents mechanical shock and damage to heavy chassis frames during transfer by utilizing the adjustable PPVA pneumatic cushioning at both ends, which absorbs up to 2.5 J of impact energy.

2. Bulk Material Hopper Gate Actuation

Applied to actuate the opening and closing of heavy sliding gates on bulk material silos or hoppers in agricultural or mining facilities. The moderate corrosion resistance (CRC 2) and high-alloy steel piston rod provide durability against environmental exposure.

Problem Solved

Ensures reliable closing of heavy silo gates against friction and material weight to prevent material spillage. The 4418 N return force at 6 bar provides the necessary pull, and the ISO 15552 standard allows for robust trunnion or flange mounting.

3. Heavy-Duty Pallet Diverter Mechanism

Integrated into end-of-line packaging systems to divert fully loaded pallets onto secondary sorting lanes. The large 100 mm piston diameter provides the necessary thrust without requiring ultra-high pressure, operating effectively within the standard 0.4 to 12 bar range.

Problem Solved

Solves the problem of delayed sorting caused by underpowered diverters. The cylinder's 31 mm cushioning length smoothly decelerates the moving mass plus the external load, preventing pallet tipping and product damage.
