Overview
The Festo DZH-50-125-PPV-A is a compact, double-acting flat cylinder designed for space-constrained pneumatic applications. With a 50mm piston diameter and 125mm stroke length, this unit delivers reliable actuation at standard industrial pressures. The flat profile and non-rotating design make it ideal for precision positioning, clamping, and assembly tasks where rotation must be prevented. This is a used, tested unit in fully functional condition.
Key Features
- Compact flat cylinder design—optimized for tight mounting spaces and block assembly integration
- Non-rotating piston with special oval shape—prevents unwanted torque and rotation
- Adjustable pneumatic cushioning (PPV) at both ends—smooth deceleration, adjustable end-of-stroke dampening
- Built-in magnetic piston—compatible with proximity sensors for position feedback without external switches
- Multiple mounting options—flexible port and rod thread configurations for custom integration
- Operating range −20 to +80 °C—suitable for most industrial and workshop environments
