Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting functionality. It features a 16 mm bore size, making it suitable for applications where space is limited.
Equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, this cylinder allows for accurate position sensing. Additionally, it includes elastic cushioning rings on both ends, known as P-type cushioning, which helps to absorb shocks and extend the lifespan of the cylinder.
The ADVU-16 model is available in standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm to 40 mm. Customers can choose between piston rods with internal threads (-P-A) or external threads (-A-P-A), depending on their specific mounting requirements.
With an operating pressure range between 1.0 and 10 bar, this pneumatic cylinder is well-suited for automation tasks where reliable and consistent position feedback is essential. Its compact design and robust features make it an excellent choice for space-saving automation solutions.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of these cylinders requires up to 50% less installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. This makes them ideal for use in machines with limited space, allowing for tighter and more efficient layouts.
Featuring double-acting operation, these cylinders deliver driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures smooth, controllable motion in both directions, enhancing the precision and reliability of your applications.
An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing through proximity switches. This design means sensors can be installed or replaced easily without the need for any mechanical adjustments, improving maintenance efficiency.
The elastic cushioning system (P-type) incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends of the cylinder. This effectively reduces impact energy, minimizing vibrations and noise when the piston reaches the end positions, thus extending the component's operational life.
Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinders feature a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, as well as NBR/TPE-U (PU) dynamic seals. They comply with corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Installation is versatile thanks to through-holes on the barrel and a wide range of mounting accessories. This flexibility allows for mounting in virtually any position to suit your machinery setup.
Additionally, there are two piston rod thread options available: internal thread (‑P‑A) and external thread (‑A‑P‑A). This choice provides adaptability to different load attachments and application requirements.
