Medical Device Application ADVU-16-15-A-P-A 156595 Festo External Thread Air Cylinder 16mm Bore 15mm Stroke Double-Acting M5 Port Magnetic Ring Compact ISO 6432

Product Description:

The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting operation. It features a 16 mm bore and includes an integrated magnetic piston, which enables precise position sensing. This makes it suitable for applications where accurate feedback is essential.

Equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, the cylinder ensures smooth operation and reduces wear, extending the product's service life. The ADVU-16 is available with a variety of standard stroke lengths, ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm, allowing it to accommodate different automation needs.

Customers can choose between piston rods with either internal threads (-P-A) or external threads (-A-P-A), providing flexibility in mounting and installation. The cylinder operates efficiently within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar, making it a reliable choice for various pneumatic systems.

Overall, the Festo ADVU-16 is ideal for compact automation setups where space is limited, yet accurate position feedback and dependable performance are required.

Features:

The design of this cylinder is ultra-compact, occupying up to 50% less installation space compared to standard cylinders based on ISO 15552. This compactness makes it an ideal choice for applications where machine layouts are tight and space is at a premium.

Featuring double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures consistent and controllable motion in both directions, enhancing precision and efficiency in various mechanical processes.

An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing using proximity switches. This design enables sensors to be mounted or replaced easily without requiring any mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance and improving reliability.

Equipped with elastic cushioning of the P-type, the cylinder includes flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends. These components effectively reduce impact energy, minimizing vibration and noise at the end positions for smoother and quieter operation.

The cylinder is constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, including a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and dynamic seals made of NBR/TPE-U(PU). It meets corrosion resistance class CRC 2 standards, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

For versatile installation, the cylinder features through-holes on the barrel as well as a wide range of mounting accessories. This flexibility allows it to be mounted securely in any position according to the specific requirements of the application.

Customers can select between two piston rod thread options to accommodate different load attachments and needs. These include an internal thread (‑P‑A) and an external thread (‑A‑P‑A), providing adaptability across various uses.
