Air cushioning

Thorite can now supply cylinders with integral self-adjusting air cushioning, for use in a variety of machinery found in processing, manufacturing, packaging, food and printing industries.

Cushioning is an important aspect of cylinder operation, improving product life by taking out sharp impacts that can damage the actuator, product, or the machine itself. However, excessive cushioning can result in extended cycle times.

The new cylinders - DSNU-PPS - from Festo offer the benefits of adjustable air cushioning but without the need to set up. No adjustment is needed for varying speed or mass and there is no need to open or work within guards.
