Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are based on FESTO DSBC series technical documentation and industry standards. The exact configuration for this specific model number includes 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, pneumatic cushioning, and male thread piston rod.

Model Number Decoding (DSBC-100-200-PPVA-N3)

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

• 100:​ Bore diameter (100 mm)

• 200:​ Stroke length (200 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-100-200-PPVA-N3:​ 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, pneumatic cushioning, male thread (this model)

• DSBC-80-200-PPVA-N3:​ 80mm bore with same stroke (lower force output)

• DSBC-125-200-PPVA-N3:​ 125mm bore with same stroke (higher force output)

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

• DSBC-100-250-PPVA-N3:​ Same bore but 250mm stroke (longer travel)

The 100mm bore​ provides significantly higher force output compared to smaller bore models (32-80mm), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. The 200mm stroke​ offers moderate travel distance for various industrial applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation:​ Heavy part positioning and transfer in assembly lines

• Material Handling:​ Heavy-duty conveyor and sorting system actuation

• Press Operations:​ Clamping and pressing applications requiring high force

• Packaging Machinery:​ Heavy product positioning and ejection operations

• Machine Tools:​ Fixture clamping and tool positioning

• Testing Equipment:​ High-force linear actuation in test stands

• General Automation:​ Heavy-duty linear motion applications

Important Selection & Installation Notes

1. Bore Size Consideration:​ The 100mm bore provides approximately 4712N force at 6 bar. Ensure this meets your application's force requirements. For higher force, select 125mm or larger bore sizes; for lower force, consider 80mm or smaller models.

2. Stroke Consideration:​ The 200mm stroke provides moderate travel distance. Ensure this meets your application's movement requirements. For shorter strokes, select 100mm or 125mm models; for longer strokes, consider 250mm or longer 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-100-200-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, especially important with high-force applications.

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. Heavy-duty cylinders require robust mounting.

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 4712N maximum force at 6 bar, this cylinder is suitable for heavy-duty applications. Verify load requirements and safety factors.

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. Air Consumption:​ Larger bore cylinders consume more air. Ensure your compressed air system can supply sufficient flow rate.
