FAQ

What does the "-P-A" suffix in DSNU-40-160-P-A signify?
The "-P-" indicates that the cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings/plates at both ends to reduce impact and noise. The "-A" signifies that the piston contains a magnet for position sensing with external proximity sensors.

What is the required compressed air quality for this cylinder?
According to Festo standards, this cylinder operates best with compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. This means the air should be filtered and can be lubricated or non-lubricated. Using lubricated air will require continuous lubrication for the cylinder's lifespan.

Can this cylinder be operated without lubrication?
Yes, the DSNU series is designed for both lubricated and non-lubricated operation. However, if you start using lubricated air, you must continue to do so for the rest of the cylinder's operational life to prevent seals from drying out.
