Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting operation. It features a 16 mm bore size and includes an integrated magnetic piston that allows for precise position sensing. This makes it a reliable choice for applications where monitoring piston position is critical.
Equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, the cylinder ensures smooth and controlled motion, reducing impact and wear. It is available with standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm, providing flexibility to suit various operational needs.
Customers can choose between two piston rod thread options: an internal thread version (-P-A) or an external thread version (-A-P-A). The cylinder operates effectively within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar, making it suitable for a wide range of pneumatic automation tasks.
Thanks to its compact design and integrated position feedback, the ADVU-16 is ideal for automation applications where saving space without compromising on performance is essential.
Features:
Ultra-Compact Design
This cylinder boasts an ultra-compact design, requiring up to 50% less installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. It is an ideal solution for machinery with limited space, ensuring a perfect fit even in tight layouts.
Double-Acting Operation
Featuring double-acting functionality, the cylinder delivers driving force during both forward and return strokes. This ensures smooth, consistent, and controllable motion in both directions for enhanced operational efficiency.
Integrated Magnetic Piston
The integrated magnetic piston facilitates non-contact position sensing via proximity switches. These sensors can be conveniently mounted or replaced without the need for any mechanical adjustments, enhancing ease of maintenance.
Elastic Cushioning (P-type)
Equipped with flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends, the elastic cushioning system effectively absorbs impact energy. This design significantly reduces vibration and noise at the cylinder’s end positions, resulting in smoother operation.
Robust and Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Constructed from robust materials, including a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and durable NBR/TPE-U (PU) dynamic seals, the cylinder offers high corrosion resistance. It meets corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Flexible Mounting Options
The cylinder includes through-holes on the barrel and a wide selection of mounting accessories, enabling versatile installation possibilities. This flexibility allows it to be mounted in virtually any position according to application requirements.
Two Piston Rod Thread Variants
To accommodate diverse load attachments and application demands, there are two piston rod thread options available: an internal thread (-P-A) and an external thread (-A-P-A). This choice provides additional adaptability for various equipment setups.
