New variants of the pressure booster DPA from Festo are designed to help reduce the costs of compressed air - directly within the application.
With three sizes available and a new polyurethane piston material, Festo claims increased product service life from 1000 to 2000 operating hours is achieved.
Festo also offers a pressure booster software tool (online or CD catalogue) which will help in selecting the correct booster for your application.
According to Festo, the low-cost, compact variant DPA-D (without regulator) has an output pressure that is twice the supply pressure.
Other variants include a magnetic piston which can be equipped with Festo's proximity sensors allowing feedback and a special variant with a ratio of 1:3 allowing low primary pressure of up to 6 bar to generate a secondary pressure of up to 18 bar.
