Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-12 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with a 12 mm bore and features a double-acting mechanism. It includes an integrated magnetic piston, which allows for precise position sensing during operation.
Equipped with elastic cushioning rings on both ends, known as P-type cushioning, this cylinder ensures smooth and controlled movement. It is available in standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm to 40 mm, catering to various automation needs.
Customers can choose between piston rods with internal threading (‑P‑A) or external threading (‑A‑P‑A), providing flexibility for installation. The operating pressure of the ADVU-12 ranges from 1.2 to 10 bar, making it suitable for a wide range of pneumatic applications.
Overall, the Festo ADVU-12 is ideal for space-saving automation scenarios where reliable position feedback and durability are essential.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of this cylinder requires up to 50% less installation space when compared to ISO 15552 cylinders. This feature makes it exceptionally suitable for applications where machine layouts are tight and space is limited.
Featuring double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures smooth, reliable, and controllable motion throughout its cycle, enhancing overall performance.
Equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, it allows for non-contact position detection using proximity sensors. Additionally, these sensors can be replaced or adjusted without the need for any mechanical modifications, simplifying maintenance.
The elastic cushioning (P-type) system effectively absorbs impact energy at the cylinder’s end positions. This design significantly reduces vibrations and noise levels, contributing to quieter operation and extended component life.
Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder features an anodised aluminium barrel and end caps, a stainless steel piston rod, and NBR/TPE-U seals. It achieves a corrosion resistance rating of CRC 2, making it well-suited for demanding industrial environments.
Installation is made flexible by the provision of through-holes on the barrel, along with a broad selection of mounting accessories. This ensures versatile mounting options to accommodate various application requirements.
To cater to different load attachment needs, two piston rod thread options are available: an internal thread (‑P‑A) and an external thread (‑A‑P‑A). This choice allows users to select the most appropriate configuration for their specific setup.
