Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting functionality. It features a 16 mm bore and includes an integrated magnetic piston, which allows for accurate position sensing during operation.
This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, to ensure smooth and controlled movements. It is available in standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm, catering to various application needs.
Users can choose between piston rods with internal thread (-P-A) or external thread (-A-P-A) configurations, depending on their installation requirements. 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 ideal solution for automation tasks where space saving is crucial.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of this cylinder offers up to 50% reduction in installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited and machine layouts are tight.
Featuring double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures consistent and controllable bidirectional motion, enhancing the precision and reliability of the equipment.
An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing through the use of proximity switches. These sensors can be easily mounted or replaced without requiring any mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance and setup.
The elastic cushioning (P-type) incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates positioned at both ends of the cylinder. This design effectively reduces impact energy, minimizing vibration and noise when the piston reaches the end positions.
Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder includes 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.
Installation is highly versatile thanks to through-holes located on the barrel combined with a wide range of mounting accessories. This flexibility allows the cylinder to be mounted in virtually any position to meet specific application requirements.
Two options for piston rod threading are available: internal thread (‑P‑A) and external thread (‑A‑P‑A). This selection enables users to choose the most appropriate thread type to accommodate different load attachments and application needs.

Packing and Shipping:
Product Packaging and Shipping for the Piston Pneumatic Cylinder:
Each piston pneumatic cylinder is carefully packaged to ensure maximum protection during transit. The cylinder is first wrapped in a protective plastic film to prevent moisture and dust damage. It is then securely placed in a custom-fitted foam insert that cushions the product against shocks and vibrations.
The foam insert and cylinder are enclosed within a sturdy, corrugated cardboard box designed to withstand handling and stacking during shipping. For added security, the box is sealed with industrial-grade packing tape and labeled with handling instructions such as "Fragile" and "This Side Up."
Multiple units are palletized and shrink-wrapped for bulk shipments to prevent movement and enhance stability. Shipping options include air freight, sea freight, and ground transportation, depending on the destination and delivery requirements.
Tracking information and estimated delivery dates are provided to customers to ensure transparency and timely receipt of the piston pneumatic cylinders.
