The cylinder is also said to have an increased service life, enabling engineers to reduce costs associated with maintenance and downtime. The DFSP is also available with an internal thread in the piston rod, allowing the possibility of mounting customer specific parts and tooling, for instance plates for braking systems.
Other key features include reduced clearance between the piston rod and bearing, improving the accuracy of the cylinder, and protection against rotation, meaning the rod will always align the stopper blade precisely with approaching carriers.
These features make the DFSP suitable for use in industries including materials handling, machine tooling, automotive and all sectors that utilise conveyor technologies.
