Textile Machinery ADVU-16-20-A-P-A 156596 Festo External Thread Double-Acting Cylinder 16mm Bore 20mm Stroke M5 Port Magnetic Piston Compact ISO 6432

Product Description:

The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with double-acting functionality. It features a 16 mm bore size and an integrated magnetic piston, which allows for precise position sensing during operation.

Equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, referred to as P-type cushioning, this cylinder ensures smooth and controlled motion. The product is available in standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm, catering to various application needs.

Customers can choose between different piston rod thread options, including internal thread (-P-A) and external thread (-A-P-A), to best suit their mounting requirements. The ADVU-16 operates efficiently within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar.

This compact design is particularly suitable for automation tasks where space savings are crucial, while also providing reliable position feedback through its integrated magnetic piston.

Features:

This cylinder boasts an ultra-compact design, occupying up to 50% less installation space compared to standard ISO 15552 cylinders. This makes it an ideal choice for machines with limited layout space, allowing for more efficient use of available area.

Featuring double-acting functionality, the cylinder generates driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures consistent and controllable motion in both directions, enhancing operational reliability.

The piston is equipped with an integrated magnetic feature that supports non-contact position detection through proximity switches. These sensors can be installed or replaced effortlessly without the need for mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance.

Elastic cushioning rings and plates are positioned at both ends of the cylinder, effectively reducing impact energy. This design minimizes vibration and noise when the piston reaches end positions, contributing to smoother and quieter operation.

Constructed from high-quality materials such as wrought aluminium alloy for the barrel and end caps, and high-alloy stainless steel for the piston rod, this cylinder ensures durability. Additionally, the dynamic seals are made from NBR and TPE-U (PU), with a corrosion resistance class of CRC 2 tailored for industrial environments.

The cylinder is designed with through-holes on the barrel and accommodates a broad range of mounting accessories. This versatile configuration allows it to be installed in virtually any position to suit various application requirements.

Users can select between two piston rod thread options: internal thread (‑P‑A) or external thread (‑A‑P‑A). This flexibility enables compatibility with different load attachments and meets diverse application needs.
