Festo DNC-3-2-PPV-A Pneumatic Air Cylinder Double Acting

The Festo DNC-3-2-PPV-A is a 3 in bore, 2 in stroke square-profile double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the DNC family. The PPV variant provides adjustable air cushioning at both ends for controlled deceleration and smoother operation, with a cushioning length of about 1.7 in for this size. The cylinder body uses a wrought aluminum alloy barrel with a smooth anodized finish and a high-alloy steel piston rod, while the seals are made from TPE-U (PU) for reliable sealing and RoHS compliance. An optional magnet for position sensing enables sensor feedback for stroke confirmation, and mounting is via internal (female) threads with compatible accessories. Piping is configured for a standard 3/8 in NPT pneumatic connection on this size, and the unit follows ISO 15552 dimensioning conventions for easy mounting in common automation setups. This model provides repeatable actuation suitable for pick-and-place, indexing, and material handling where a compact footprint and cushioned end-of-stroke movement are beneficial.
