Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with a 16 mm bore and features a double-acting mechanism. It includes an integrated magnetic piston, which enables precise position sensing for enhanced operational control.
This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, characterized as P-type cushioning, to ensure smooth and controlled motion. It is available in a range of standard stroke lengths, from 5 mm up to 40 mm, catering to various application requirements.
Customers can choose between two piston rod options: one with an internal thread, designated as -P-A, and another with an external thread, marked as -A-P-A. The device operates efficiently within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar.
Due to its compact size and reliable position feedback capabilities, the ADVU-16 is ideal for automation scenarios where saving space is crucial without compromising performance.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of this cylinder offers up to 50% reduction in installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. This makes it an ideal choice for machines with limited space, where a compact layout is essential.
Equipped with double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This feature ensures consistent and controllable bidirectional motion, enhancing overall performance and reliability.
An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing through the use of proximity switches. This design enables sensors to be mounted or replaced easily without requiring any mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance and setup.
The elastic cushioning found in the P-type model incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends. These components help to absorb impact energy, thereby reducing vibration and noise when the piston reaches the end positions.
Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder features a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, along with a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod and dynamic seals made from NBR and TPE-U(PU). This combination offers a corrosion resistance class of CRC 2, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
For versatile installation, the cylinder includes through-holes on the barrel and supports a wide range of mounting accessories. This flexibility allows the unit to be installed securely in any desired position to suit specific application requirements.
Additionally, there are two piston rod thread options available. Users can select between an internal thread (‑P‑A) or an external thread (‑A‑P‑A) configuration, enabling compatibility with various load attachments and adapting to different operational needs.
