Festo ADVU-16-10-P-A 156508 16mm Bore 10mm Stroke Internal Thread Double-Acting Compact Cylinder M5 Port Magnetic Ring ISO 6432 Electronics Manufacturing

Product Description:

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

This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings on both ends, referred to as P-type cushioning, ensuring smooth and controlled movements. It comes in a variety of standard stroke lengths, ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm, catering to different application requirements.

Users can choose between piston rods with internal threading (-P-A) or external threading (-A-P-A), providing flexibility in mounting and installation options. The ADVU-16 operates efficiently within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar.

Thanks to its compact design and reliable position feedback capabilities, the Festo ADVU-16 is an excellent choice for automation tasks where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

Features:

The ultra-compact design of this cylinder requires up to 50% less installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. This makes it an ideal choice 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, consistent, and controllable bidirectional motion throughout its use.

An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing through proximity switches. This design enables sensors to be mounted or replaced easily without the need for mechanical adjustments, enhancing convenience and reliability.

The elastic cushioning, referred to as the P-type, incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends of the cylinder. These components effectively reduce impact energy, minimizing vibration and noise when the piston reaches the end positions.

Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder features a barrel and end caps made from wrought aluminium alloy, a piston rod crafted from high-alloy stainless steel, and dynamic seals composed of NBR and TPE-U (PU). It boasts a corrosion resistance classification of CRC 2, making it well-suited for demanding industrial environments.

The cylinder offers flexible mounting options with through-holes on the barrel, complemented by a broad array of mounting accessories. This versatility allows installation in virtually any position, adapting to various 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), depending on the type of load attachments and specific needs of the application.
