Festo DSNU-S-12-40-P-A-MQ – Round Cylinder | Bore 12mm, Stroke 40mm | Murali Pneumatics Coimbatore

Festo DSNU-S-12-40-P-A-MQ – Stainless Steel Round Cylinder, Bore 12mm × Stroke 40mm

Key Features

• Stainless steel piston rod and cylinder barrel — Corrosion resistance class CRC 2, suitable for washdown environments, mild chemical exposure, and humid operating conditions without premature degradation.
• ISO 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom suitability — Tested and measured per ISO 14644-14; suitable for deployment in controlled manufacturing environments including pharmaceutical and electronics assembly.
• Double-acting operation — Positive drive in both advance and return strokes; advance stroke force 67.9 N and return stroke force 50.9 N at 6 bar, delivering consistent actuation under load.
• Elastic cushioning rings at both ends — Absorbs end-of-stroke impact (rated at 0.07 J) without requiring external shock absorbers on light-load applications, reducing installation complexity.
• M5 pneumatic connections — Industry-standard port size compatible with a wide range of Festo push-in fittings and miniature flow control valves, simplifying circuit build.
• Proximity switch–compatible position detection — External sensors can be mounted for position feedback without modifying the cylinder, enabling PLC-controlled automation sequences.
• Any mounting position — No orientation restriction; mount horizontally, vertically, or at any angle without performance compromise.
• LABS (PWIS) conformity to VDMA 24364-B2-L — Safe for use near paint and coating lines; no paint-wetting impairment substances in the materials used.
• RoHS compliant — Meets EU and UK RoHS directives; suitable for export-oriented production facilities with compliance requirements.
• Wide operating temperature range (−20 °C to +80 °C) — Handles both cold storage adjacent automation and elevated-temperature industrial environments without seal degradation.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

• Food and beverage packaging lines — Stainless steel construction and cleanroom Class 5 rating make this cylinder appropriate for pick-and-place, lid pressing, and filling station actuators where hygiene standards apply.
• Pharmaceutical blister pack and tablet handling machinery — Low particle generation and PWIS conformity suit controlled production environments in Coimbatore's growing pharma component supply base.
• Textile machinery auxiliary functions — Compact 12mm bore fits into tight shuttle guides, thread tensioner actuators, and weft insertion mechanisms on looms and winding machines.
• Precision assembly jigs and fixtures — Small bore and accurate stroke allow controlled clamping, component positioning, and micro-actuation in electronics and instrument manufacturing.
• Plastic injection moulding gate actuation — Stainless rod resists mould-release agents and cleaning solvents; suitable for hot-runner gate pin drives in moulding operations.
• Laboratory and analytical instrument automation — Cleanroom suitability and smooth operation support sample handling, pipette positioning, and slide actuation in automated lab systems.
