"Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again."
Festo part 532317 is a DFM-25- -B guided pneumatic cylinder designed to deliver stable, precise linear motion where side loads and high repeatability matter. With a 25 mm piston diameter and stroke options from 20 mm to 400 mm, this double-acting actuator combines a compact body with an integrated guidance system to help minimise play and resist twisting during operation. It features adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends, alongside elastic end stops/plates and a smooth characteristic shock profile to reduce impact energy at end positions.
This unit supports proximity sensor position detection, offers flexible mounting in any orientation, and uses G1/8 pneumatic ports. It is specified for 1.5 to 10 bar operating pressure using compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4], and operates from -20 °C to +120 °C (Ex ambient -20 °C to +70 °C). The construction includes a forged aluminium body and cover, NBR seals, and a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, with RoHS compliance. The DFM-25- -B variant is also rated for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments (Category II 2G, protection type Ex h IIC T4 Gb).

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
