Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with a 16 mm bore. It features a double-acting mechanism, which allows it to extend and retract using air pressure on both sides of the piston for smooth and efficient motion.
Equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, this cylinder supports precise position sensing, making it suitable for applications that demand accurate feedback. Additionally, it includes elastic cushioning rings on both ends, known as P-type cushioning, to absorb impact and reduce noise during operation.
Customers can choose from a range of standard stroke lengths, ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm. The piston rod is available in two configurations: with an internal thread (-P-A) or with an external thread (-A-P-A), providing flexibility for various mounting requirements.
Operating within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar, the ADVU-16 is an excellent choice for automation tasks where space is limited but reliable position feedback is critical. Its robust design and versatile options make it ideal for compact and precise automation systems.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of this cylinder saves up to 50% of installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where space is limited and machine layouts are tight.
Equipped with double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers driving force during both forward and return strokes. This ensures a consistent and controllable bidirectional motion, enhancing the precision and efficiency of the system.
Featuring an integrated magnetic piston, the cylinder supports non-contact position sensing through proximity switches. This allows sensors to be mounted or replaced easily without requiring any mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance and monitoring.
Designed with elastic cushioning (P-type) at both ends, flexible cushioning rings and plates effectively reduce impact energy. This minimizes vibration and noise at the cylinder’s end positions, contributing to a quieter and smoother 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 from NBR and TPE-U (PU). It meets corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Flexible mounting options are available, featuring through-holes on the barrel and a wide range of mounting accessories. This versatility allows for installation in virtually any position to accommodate various application requirements.
To cater to different load attachments and application needs, two piston rod thread options are offered: an internal thread (‑P‑A) and an external thread (‑A‑P‑A). This flexibility ensures compatibility with a variety of setups.
