DNCI
2
Method of operation and application
When the compressed air connections are pressurized alternately, the piston rod of
the piston rod drive with integrated incremental measuring system DNCI moves in
and out.
There is a magnetic tape in the piston rod. A sensor in the bearing cover converts
the magnetic pulses of the magnetic tape into electric signals depending on the
positioning path of the standard cylinder.
The DNCI has been designed for transporting work masses.
The integrated measuring system has been designed for monitoring the piston
position in combination with a positioning controller from Festo (e.g. CMPX, CMAX,
SPC200, SPC11 "Soft Stop") or for use as a measuring cylinder.
The DNCI is not intended for use in manufacturing processes which are sensitive to
copper or PTFE.

Transport and storage
Take into account the weight of the DNCI.
S
Depending on the design the DNCI can weigh over 10 kg.
Ensure storage conditions as follows:
S
short storage periods,
cool, dry, shaded storage locations protected from corrosion,
no influence from magnetic fields.

Conditions of use
Please note
Special conditions apply to the electronic control of the DNCI:
S Take into account the warnings and instructions in the descriptions of the
positioning controller.
