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.
