The nominal swivel angle is 180°, which is the standard half-turn most indexing and diverting duty calls for; vane-style half-turn actuators tend to be limited to under 270° by construction, so the buyer choosing this part is locking in a half-revolution stroke for flap, diverter, or clamp service. ## What the suffix codes PPVJ and A actually deliver PPVJ means pneumatic cushioning adjustable at both ends with end position adjustment — the air bleed at each end-of-stroke is tunable, and the end positions themselves can be set, which lets the integrator slow a heavy load into the stop without mechanical shock and trim the final rest angle without shimming the mount. The trailing A means the housing is prepared for proximity sensing — typically by accepting magnetic-field sensors on the body — rather than carrying an integrated position transmitter; the buyer sources the sensors separately and they click onto the rail.","metaTitle":"Festo DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A Semi-Rotary Drive, 63 mm, 180°","metaDescription":"Festo DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A semi-rotary drive, 63 mm piston, 180° swivel, PPVJ pneumatic cushioning.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["AC Drives (VFD)"],"specifications":{"title":"DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A","Cushioning":"PPVJ = Pneumatic cushioning adjustable at both ends with end position adjustment.","description":"Semi-rotary drive","Product Type":"Semi-rotary drive","Series Model":"DRQ = Rotary Actuator","Swivel angle":"180 = Nominal swivel angle1 80°","Product Number":"DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A","Shipping Weight":"12.0 Kg","lifecycle_stage":"current","Position sensing":"A = For proximity sensing","Diameter of piston":"63 = 63 mm","Estimated Lead Time":"1 - 10 Working Days."}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3,947.00 – $4,626.99","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/2e2793e708c43939be7f8d9d3301ccf6.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What does the PPVJ cushioning suffix actually do on DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A?","answer":"It specifies pneumatic cushioning adjustable at both ends with end position adjustment — the end-of-stroke air bleed is tunable and the final rest angle is settable, which lets the integrator slow a heavy load into the stop and trim the mechanical dwell without changing mounts."},{"question":"Will DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A drop into a panel that was specified around the DSR-12-180-P without rewiring?","answer":"No — the DSR-12-180-P is a 12 mm vane actuator with elastic cushioning rings, while the DRQ-63 is a 63 mm piston unit with adjustable pneumatic cushioning; the bore class, cushioning mechanism, and torque envelope differ enough that this is a duty-class neighbour rather than a drop-in."},{"question":"How is DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A quoted for volume purchases?","answer":"The part is sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ — the listed lead-time window is 1–10 working days and current price is confirmed at quote time, not carried as a posted figure."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/festo/DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/festo/DRQ-63-180-PPVJ-A when reusing this data.
