Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting operation. It features a 16 mm bore diameter, making it suitable for various precision automation tasks. In addition, the cylinder is equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, which facilitates accurate position sensing during operation.
This cylinder includes elastic cushioning rings located at both ends, known as P-type cushioning. These cushions help to absorb impact and reduce wear, enhancing the durability and smoothness of the cylinder’s movement.
The ADVU-16 is available with standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm to 40 mm. Customers can choose between two piston rod thread options: an internal thread (-P-A) or an external thread (-A-P-A), allowing flexibility to meet different mounting and connection requirements.
Operating within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar, this pneumatic cylinder is a reliable component for automation systems that require both compact design and dependable position feedback. Its space-saving structure and integrated sensing capabilities make it an ideal choice for modern industrial applications.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of this cylinder requires up to 50% less installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders, making it an excellent choice for machines with limited space or tight layouts.
Featuring double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers driving force in both the forward and return strokes. This ensures smooth, consistent, and controllable bidirectional motion for precise application performance.
An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing through proximity switches. These sensors can be easily mounted or replaced without the need for mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance and enhancing reliability.
The elastic cushioning mechanism, identified as P-type, incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends. This design effectively reduces impact energy while minimizing vibration and noise at the cylinder’s end positions, contributing to quieter operation.
Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder features 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 achieves corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Installation is highly adaptable thanks to through-holes on the barrel and a wide variety of mounting accessories. This flexibility allows the cylinder to be securely mounted in virtually any orientation to meet diverse application requirements.
Users can select between two piston rod thread options to accommodate different load attachments and operational needs: an internal thread (-P-A) or an external thread (-A-P-A), providing versatility in connection methods.
