The Festo self-adjusting cushioning PPS means no more toing-and-froing when adjusting the cushioning of hygienic pneumatic cylinders. This cushioning system, available as an option with stainless-steel round cylinders CRDSNU and “Clean Design” cylinders DSBF, makes commissioning easier and also saves time. It allows dynamic but gentle deceleration into the end positions without the need for users to intervene manually.
Until now, users needed to adjust the cylinders’ integrated end-position cushioning manually. This takes time, making the commissioning of systems with large numbers of cylinders requiring cushioning a lengthy process.
Completely without any need for manual intervention, the Festo self-adjusting cushioning PPS ensures an optimum cushioning action every time, even if parameters such as friction and pressure vary. This reduces wear and minimizes vibration which costs cycle time. Thanks to PPS, there is no need for an adjusting screw, which makes the cylinders easier to clean.
