Festo DYSW-4-6-Y1F, Shock Absorber

The Festo DYSW-4-6-Y1F is a small shock absorber that slows moving parts at the end of their travel. It is designed to absorb impact energy in pneumatic and mechanical systems where repeated motion needs to stop smoothly rather than hit hard. This helps protect equipment, reduce noise, and extend the life of moving components. It is generally installed in compact automation setups where space is limited but reliable damping is still required.

Unparalleled Benefits of Buying the Festo DYSW-4-6-Y1F Shock Absorber

This shock absorber controls motion by converting kinetic energy into heat through internal hydraulic damping. Instead of an abrupt stop, moving parts decelerate gradually, reducing stress on frames, guides, and actuators.

• Reduces impact force at end positions.
• Protects mechanical assemblies from damage.
• Improves system reliability over time.

Designed for Compact Automation Systems

The DYSW-4-6-Y1F has a small body size, making it suitable for tight installations. It fits nicely into automated machinery, pick-and-place units, linear slides, and small handling systems. Once installed, it works automatically without any external adjustment. Its build quality supports frequent cycling, which is essential in production environments where components move continuously.

Typical Areas of Use

It is primarily used to prevent hard stops that can cause misalignment, vibration, or premature wear.

• Pneumatic cylinders and end-of-stroke damping
• Small automation and assembly machines
• Linear guides and slides
• Packaging and handling equipment
