Festo DNC-32 – ISO 15552 Double-Acting Cylinder | Bore 32mm | Murali Pneumatics Coimbatore

Festo DNC-32 – ISO 15552 Standard Pneumatic Cylinder, 32mm Bore

The Festo DNC series is one of the most widely deployed ISO 15552-compliant pneumatic cylinders in Indian industry — and the DNC-32 is the workhorse of the range. With a 32 mm bore, adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends, and stroke availability from 2 mm up to 2000 mm, this cylinder is designed to slot directly into any machine design that calls for an ISO-standard linear actuator. The profile barrel construction ensures dimensional interchangeability across brands, while Festo's manufacturing quality adds the reliability that production engineers depend on.

Key Features

• ISO 15552 Compliance — Fully interchangeable with any ISO 15552 cylinder mount, simplifying retrofits and replacements without redesigning the machine frame.
• 32 mm Bore with High Force Output — Delivers 483 N advancing and 415 N retracting at 6 bar, suitable for clamping, feeding, pressing, and positioning tasks.
• Adjustable Pneumatic Cushioning at Both Ends — Reduces end-of-stroke impact on both extension and retraction, protecting the cylinder and the driven load from shock damage.
• Wide Stroke Range: 2 mm to 2000 mm — A single part number family covers short-stroke clamping and long-travel transfer applications; specify your exact stroke at time of order.
• Wide Pressure Range: 0.6 to 12 bar — Operates reliably at low circuit pressures as well as high-force high-pressure applications without valve or regulator changes.
• Any Mounting Position — Internal thread mounting plus a full range of ISO-standard accessories (pivot pins, foot brackets, flanges, clevis) means installation in any orientation.
• Double-Acting Operation — Delivers positive force in both directions, unlike spring-return designs, giving full control over both stroke and return speed.
• LABS/PWIS Conformity (VDMA 24364-B1/B2-L) — Suitable for use in paint shops and coating environments where paint-wetting impairment substances must be avoided.
• RoHS-Compliant Construction — Materials meet EU RoHS requirements, important for export machinery and OEM customers with compliance obligations.
• Corrosion Resistance Class 2 — Rated for moderate corrosion stress; appropriate for standard factory environments, though not for direct washdown or salt-spray exposure.
