Festo DYSS Series Industrial Shock Absorber

The Festo DYSS-4-4-Y1F-G2 is a small industrial shock absorber used to slow down moving parts and reduce impact forces in automation systems. It is designed to protect machinery from sudden stops, vibration, and mechanical stress that can cause wear or damage over time. With a compact 29.5 mm body length, it fits easily into tight spaces where controlled deceleration is required. This unit is typically used where components move repeatedly and need smooth, reliable stopping without noise or rebound.

Notable Advantages of Buying the Festo DYSS Series Shock Absorber

This shock absorber converts kinetic energy into heat through internal damping. Instead of parts hitting a hard stop, motion is gradually slowed, which helps extend machine life and improve overall system stability.

• Controlled deceleration of moving loads.
• Reduced mechanical shock and vibration.
• Smoother operation in repetitive motion setups.
• Short 29.5 mm body for limited spaces.
• Threaded mounting for secure installation.
• Designed for repetitive industrial use.

Compact Design for Tight Installations

The short body length makes this model suitable for compact automation assemblies. It is typically installed in pneumatic systems, linear slides, pick-and-place units, and light mechanical stops. Its size makes it easy to integrate without redesigning existing layouts.

Wide Application Range

It is mainly chosen for applications that require controlled stopping without adding complexity.

• Pneumatic cylinders and actuators
• End-of-stroke damping in automation systems
• Conveyor stops and positioning systems
• Light industrial machinery and fixtures
