Technical Parameters:

The Festo ADVU series pneumatic cylinder features a bore size of 12 mm and operates with a double-acting mechanism. It is equipped with elastic cushioning rings and pads at both ends, providing smooth operation and durability. Additionally, the piston is integrated with a magnetic feature for advanced sensing capabilities.

This cylinder functions efficiently within an operating pressure range of 1.2 to 10 bar, utilizing compressed air conforming to ISO 8573‑1:2010 [7:4:4] standards. It supports both lubricated and unlubricated mediums. The ambient temperature range for optimal performance extends from -20°C to +80°C, making it suitable for diverse environments.

The pneumatic connection is designed as M5, and the product exhibits a corrosion resistance class of CRC 2, indicating moderate resistance against corrosion. At a pressure of 6 bar, the theoretical forces are 68 N during extension and 51 N during retraction. The cylinder can withstand an end position impact energy of 0.07 J.

Regarding mechanical characteristics, the moving mass at a zero stroke length is 8 grams, with an additional 2 grams per 10 mm of stroke. The basic weight of the cylinder at zero stroke is 87 grams, increasing by 15 grams for every additional 10 mm of stroke length.

The construction materials emphasize durability and quality: the barrel and end caps are made from wrought aluminium alloy, while the piston rod consists of high-alloy stainless steel. Dynamic seals are manufactured from NBR and TPE-U (PU) materials to ensure reliable sealing and longevity.

This cylinder complies with standards CETOP RP 52 P and ISO 6432, highlighting its round design and reliable performance in pneumatic applications.

Applications:

In automated assembly lines, various tasks such as clamping, positioning, sorting, stopping, and ejecting workpieces are efficiently carried out within compact stations. This setup enhances the speed and accuracy of the manufacturing process.

The electronics and semiconductor industry benefits greatly from precise operations including pick-and-place procedures, handling integrated circuits (ICs), depaneling printed circuit boards (PCBs), and assembling delicate components with high precision.

Packaging and filling machinery utilize mechanisms for carton pushing, sealing presses, and valve actuation even within confined spaces. These functionalities contribute to streamlined packaging processes and improved productivity.

Medical devices and laboratory automation require smooth, low-force movements to handle diagnostic equipment, sample transportation, and liquid management. Such gentle motion is crucial to ensure accuracy and reliability in medical and lab environments.

In the realm of printing and textile machines, operations like paper positioning, cutting presses, and yarn clamping are performed effectively even in challenging conditions involving oily or inky surroundings.

Robot end effectors incorporate compact pneumatic gripper drives that are ideal for collaborative robots and pick-and-place units, enabling versatile and precise automated handling solutions.
