CS1-M DNC/ADVU

The CS 1-M DNC/ADVU is a combination of two common types of pneumatic cylinders manufactured by Festo: the CS 1 (Standard Cylinder) and the DNC/ADVU (Compact/Short-stroke Cylinder).?? Pneumatic Cylinders in GeneralPneumatic cylinders, also known as air cylinders, convert the potential energy of compressed air into kinetic energy, generating a linear force and movement.1 They are essential components in automation and industrial machinery for tasks like pushing, pulling, lifting, and clamping.2??? Components and CharacteristicsThe specific nomenclature suggests a description of two primary cylinder lines:CS 1 (DNC- type 3$\rightarrow$ often DNC, DNCKE): These are standard cylinders with a tie-rod design and conform to ISO 15552 (previously ISO 6431).4 They are known for being robust and offering adjustable cushioning at both ends. They are generally used where longer strokes and high forces are required.Features: Through piston rod, magnetic piston for position sensing, standard mounting options.ADVU (Compact/Short-Stroke Cylinder): These cylinders are designed for applications with limited space where a shorter overall length is necessary.5 They are generally non-tie-rod and have a compact body. While they save space, they typically have shorter available strokes compared to the DNC series.Features: Shorter installation length, magnetic piston for position sensing, used for clamping or short-distance actuation.The designation CS 1-M DNC/ADVU likely refers to a modular series or system that utilizes components from both lines, potentially to achieve a customized or integrated solution that combines the robustness of the standard line with the space-saving features of the compact line, often featuring magnetic pistons ("-M") for non-contact position sensing.
