Name: Festo 178023 Profile cylinder DNC-3"-1"-PPV-A
Brand: Festo

Profile cylinder DNC-3"-1"-PPV-A

The Festo 178023 is a double-acting industrial component featuring a 3-inch piston diameter, a 1-inch stroke, and a 3/4-16 UNF-2A male piston-rod thread based on the ISO 15552 standard. It incorporates adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends (PPV) with a 32 mm cushioning length, a profile barrel design structure, and position detection capabilities for proximity sensors operating within a pressure range of 0.6 to 12 bar (0.06 to 1.2 MPa). Rated for an ambient temperature range of -20 to 80 °C, this single-ended piston rod unit utilizes compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] and maintains a CRC 2 moderate corrosion resistance classification with VDMA24364-B1/B2-L PWIS conformity.

Why no listed price?

Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.

Engineering context

Identification and RFQ Guidance

Confirm the exact configuration

Use the manufacturer part number and model code—not appearance alone. Connection, size, material, voltage, pressure, seal, and control options can differ within the same product family.

What to include in your RFQ

Provide quantity, delivery country and ZIP/postal code, required condition, target date, and photographs of the existing nameplate when available.
