Overview
The Festo DNC-40-60-PPV-A is a compact ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder designed for industrial automation and process control applications. With a 40mm bore diameter and 60mm stroke, this double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivers consistent performance at pressures up to 10 bar (145 psi). The unit features a smooth anodized aluminum barrel, high-alloy steel piston rod, and M12×1.25 male thread connection for reliable, repeatable operation in demanding environments.
Key Features
- ISO 15552 Compliance: Standards-based design ensures interchangeability and global serviceability
- Double-Acting Operation: Provides powered extension and retraction for load-bearing applications
- Adjustable Cushioning: Pneumatic cushioning adjustable at both ends minimizes shock and extends component life
- Magnetic Piston: Built-in magnet enables proximity sensor position detection without additional mounting
- G1/4 Connections: Standard 1/4″ BSPP pneumatic ports for easy integration with compressed air systems

Compatibility & Replacements
The Festo DNC-40-60-PPV-A is part of the widely standardized DNC metric series. Ensure your application requires the exact stroke length (60 mm) and bore (40 mm) before ordering.
Compatible With
- ISO 15552 standard pneumatic valve manifolds
- G1/4 (1/4″ BSPP) threaded pneumatic fittings and tubing connectors
- Proximity sensors (NAMUR-compatible via built-in magnet)
- Pneumatic directional control valves (solenoid and manual operated)
- Standard compressed air supply systems operating 0.6–12 bar
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The DNC-40-60-PPV-A may serve as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders with identical bore (40 mm), stroke (60 mm), and connection type (G1/4 male rod thread). Always verify port orientation and piston rod endstop style with your system integrator before cross-substitution. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering.
Works With
- Festo pneumatic tubing (PUN series polyurethane hose for 8mm and larger diameters)
- Festo push-in fittings (QS series connectors for G1/4 and 8mm tubing)
- Festo one-way flow control valves for cushioning and speed regulation
- Position sensors with magnetic piston detection (NPN and PNP switching outputs)
- ISO 8573-1 compliant compressed air systems (minimum [7:4:4] purity)
