FESTO DSBC-50-50-PPVA-N3 ISO Cylinder

The FESTO DSBC-50-50-PPVA-N3​ is a standards-based double-acting pneumatic cylinder​ from the DSBC series, featuring 50mm bore diameter​ and 50mm stroke. This ISO 15552 compliant cylinder is designed for industrial automation applications requiring reliable linear motion with adjustable pneumatic cushioning. With profile barrel design, male thread piston rod, and compatibility with proximity sensors, it provides robust performance for medium-duty applications in manufacturing, packaging, and material handling systems where compact stroke length is required.

Key Features

• ISO 15552 Compliance:​ Standardized dimensions and mounting for easy integration

• Double-Acting Operation:​ Provides force in both extension and retraction directions

• Pneumatic Cushioning:​ Adjustable cushioning at both ends for smooth end-position damping

• Profile Barrel Design:​ Standard profile with sensor slots for position detection

• Male Thread Piston Rod:​ M16x1.5 external thread for accessory mounting

• Wide Operating Pressure:​ 0.4 to 12 bar operating range

• Position Sensing Compatible:​ Supports proximity sensor installation (requires magnetic piston)

• Standard Mounting:​ Multiple mounting options with ISO mounting pattern

• Compact Stroke:​ 50mm stroke for applications with limited space requirements

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are based on FESTO DSBC series technical documentation and industry standards. The exact configuration for this specific model number includes 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, pneumatic cushioning, and male thread piston rod.

Model Number Decoding (DSBC-50-50-PPVA-N3)

• DSBC:​ Series designation (Standards-based cylinder, double-acting)

• 50:​ Bore diameter (50 mm)

• 50:​ Stroke length (50 mm)

• PP:​ Cushioning type (PP = pneumatic cushioning, adjustable)

• V:​ Piston rod type (V = male thread, external thread)

• A:​ Position sensing capability (A = compatible with proximity sensors)

• N3:​ Standard designation (N3 = standard configuration according to ISO)

Note:​ The "PP" designation indicates pneumatic cushioning with adjustable end-position damping. The "V" specifies male thread piston rod configuration.

Key Differences from Similar Models

Compared to other DSBC series cylinders:

• DSBC-50-50-PPVA-N3:​ 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, pneumatic cushioning, male thread (this model)

• DSBC-32-50-PPVA-N3:​ 32mm bore with same stroke (lower force output)

• DSBC-40-50-PPVA-N3:​ 40mm bore with same stroke (lower force output)

• DSBC-50-80-PPVA-N3:​ Same bore but 80mm stroke (longer travel)

• DSBC-50-100-PPVA-N3:​ Same bore but 100mm stroke (longer travel)

The 50mm bore​ provides higher force output compared to smaller bore models, while the 50mm stroke​ offers compact travel distance suitable for applications with space constraints.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation:​ Short-stroke part positioning and clamping in assembly lines

• Material Handling:​ Compact conveyor and sorting system actuation

• Packaging Machinery:​ Product positioning and ejection operations with limited space

• Clamping Devices:​ Workpiece clamping in compact fixture applications

• Valve Actuation:​ Operating valves in process control systems with short stroke requirements

• Testing Equipment:​ Linear actuation in test stands with space limitations

• General Automation:​ Medium-duty linear motion applications requiring compact stroke

Important Selection & Installation Notes

1. Bore Size Consideration:​ The 50mm bore provides approximately 1178N force at 6 bar. Ensure this meets your application's force requirements. For higher force, select larger bore sizes; for lower force, consider 32mm or 40mm models.

2. Stroke Consideration:​ The 50mm stroke provides compact travel distance. Ensure this meets your application's movement requirements. For longer strokes, select 80mm, 100mm, or longer stroke models.

3. Piston Rod Thread:​ This model has male thread (external thread) configuration. If you need female thread for mounting, select "I" type models (e.g., DSBC-50-50-PPIA-N3).

4. Cushioning Performance:​ Pneumatic cushioning provides adjustable end-position damping. For applications with high speeds or heavy loads, ensure cushioning is properly adjusted.

5. Operating Pressure:​ Do not exceed 12 bar maximum operating pressure. For optimal performance and longevity, operate between 4-6 bar.

6. Air Quality:​ Use filtered, lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. If using lubricated air, maintain consistent lubrication.

7. Mounting:​ Ensure proper alignment during installation to avoid side loads, which can reduce seal life and cause premature failure.

8. Position Sensing:​ This model is compatible with proximity sensors for position detection. Ensure the piston has a magnetic ring (standard on most DSBC models) if position sensing is required.

9. Force Requirements:​ With 1178N maximum force at 6 bar, this cylinder is suitable for medium-duty applications requiring higher force output.

10. Temperature Range:​ Do not operate outside -20°C to +80°C range. For extreme temperatures, consider special variants.

11. Maintenance:​ Regular inspection of seals is recommended. Check for air leaks and proper cushioning performance periodically.

12. Space Constraints:​ The 50mm stroke makes this model suitable for applications with limited installation space.
