DNC-32-100-PPV-A

Product information

Product Overview

The DNC is Festo’s standards-based profile cylinder to ISO 15552 (the standard that supersedes ISO 6431, DIN ISO 6431, VDMA 24562, NF E 49 003.1 and UNI 10290). Festo positions it as a wide-range cylinder: the barrel is a profile design with slots for proximity sensors, the end caps accept the full range of ISO mounting accessories, and cushioning is available as fixed elastic cushioning plates or as adjustable pneumatic cushioning. The DNC-…-PPV-A code on our page means pneumatic cushioning adjustable at both ends plus a proximity-sensing magnet, i.e. the variant usually specified when the cylinder has to be monitored and the end-position impact has to be tuned.

This page covers DNC-32-100-PPV-A — Festo type code DNC-32-100-PPV-A, order number 163309. Everything below is taken from Festo’s own product data for this order number: the technical values, the category path, the GTIN and the lifecycle notice are all reproduced from the manufacturer’s page rather than paraphrased, so you can check them against Festo’s documentation before you buy.

Why Buyers Specify This Model

• Standards-based to ISO 15552 — dimensions, mounting pattern and port threads are interchangeable with any other ISO 15552 cylinder
• Piston diameters from 32 mm to 125 mm according to Festo’s type code, with stroke lengths from 10 mm to 2000 mm
• Pneumatic cushioning adjustable at both ends (PPV) so the end-position impact can be tuned on site instead of being fixed by the factory
• Profile barrel with sensor slots and a magnet piston for non-contact position sensing
• The same barrel accepts foot, flange, trunnion and clevis mounting from Festo’s ISO 15552 accessory range
• ISO 15552 (ISO 6431, VDMA 24562)
• Wide range of variants for customised applications

We publish this notice rather than omit it. If the notice applies to your variant, we will tell you what Festo still supplies and what the current alternative is, so you can decide between a like-for-like spare and a platform change.

Official Documentation

Every figure on this page comes from Festo. Use the manufacturer’s own documents to verify it:

• Festo official product page — DNC-32-100-PPV-A — the source of the technical values and the lifecycle notice above.
• Festo official series catalogue (PDF) — Festo’s own catalogue for this series, including the type code breakdown and the ordering data for every variant.

Ordering This Part

Before we quote, please confirm:

• the complete Festo type code, exactly as it appears on the drawing or the nameplate — not just the series name;
• the order number if you have it, so we can cross-check the code against Festo’s catalogue;
• the quantity and the delivery address;
• for cylinders, the stroke and the mounting style, because both are fields in the order code;
• for valves and sensors, the electrical connection and the voltage, because these are fields in the order code.

Send us a photograph of the nameplate if the code is hard to read — that is usually the fastest way to avoid shipping the wrong variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -PPV-A suffix mean on a DNC cylinder?
In Festo’s type code the cushioning field is ‘PPV’ = pneumatic cushioning, adjustable at both ends, and the trailing ‘A’ is the position-sensing field = for proximity sensor. So DNC-…-PPV-A is an ISO 15552 cylinder with adjustable air cushioning and a magnet piston, which is the variant you specify when the cylinder will carry reed or magneto-resistive sensors.

What is the difference between DNC and DSBC?
Both are ISO 15552 profile cylinders. The DSBC is Festo’s newer generation and its headline difference is self-adjusting pneumatic end-position cushioning; the DNC uses either elastic cushioning plates or manually adjustable pneumatic cushioning. If your drawing calls up a DNC, a DSBC is not a drop-in substitute on paper — check the order code and the accessory set before substituting.

Is the DNC still in Festo’s current programme?
Festo’s own product page for these DNC variants currently carries a lifecycle notice that the product is planned to be discontinued and that a newer product is available. We reproduce that notice rather than hide it, and we can quote both the DNC and the successor platform so you can decide which one your machine should take.

Which accessories do I need for ISO 15552 mounting?
The DNC takes foot mounting, flange mounting, trunnion flange, trunnion support, swivel flange, clevis foot, rod eye and rod clevis from Festo’s ISO 15552 accessory range. Tell us the mounting style on your drawing and we will quote the cylinder together with the matching mounting kit.

Can you supply the exact stroke I need?
Yes. Stroke is one of the fields in the Festo type code, so the cylinder is ordered with the stroke in the code. Send us the full code — for example DNC-40-100-PPV-A — and we will quote against it.
