Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-20 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with a double-acting mechanism and a 20 mm bore diameter. It features an integrated magnetic piston that enables precise position sensing during operation.
This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings and plates at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, to ensure smooth operation and reduce impact. It is available with standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 50 mm, offering flexibility for various application requirements.
Customers can choose between piston rods with internal threads (designated as -P-A) or external threads (-A-P-A) depending on their installation needs. The operating pressure for the ADVU-20 ranges from 0.8 bar to 10 bar, making it suitable for a wide range of pneumatic automation systems.
Overall, the Festo ADVU-20 is ideal for automation projects that prioritize space efficiency and require dependable position feedback for controlled pneumatic movement.
Features:
Ultra-Compact Design
This cylinder features an ultra-compact design that requires 50% less installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. Its reduced dimensions make it ideally suited for applications with limited space and tight machine layouts.
Double-Acting Operation
The double-acting mechanism delivers driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures consistent and controllable bidirectional motion, enhancing the efficiency and precision of your machinery.
Integrated Magnetic Piston
Equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, this design allows for non-contact position sensing by utilizing proximity switches. Sensors can be easily installed or replaced without needing any mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance tasks.
Elastic Cushioning (P-type)
At both ends of the cylinder, flexible cushioning rings or plates help absorb impact energy. This elastic cushioning effectively reduces vibrations and noise when the piston reaches its end positions, improving overall operational smoothness.
Robust and Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Constructed from a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps paired with a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, this cylinder offers excellent durability. The dynamic seals are made of NBR/TPE-U (PU), providing enhanced sealing performance. It also meets corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Flexible Mounting
Versatile installation options are facilitated by through-holes on the barrel along with a broad selection of mounting accessories. These features allow the cylinder to be mounted securely in almost any position to accommodate various application requirements.
Two Piston Rod Thread Options
Users can select between two piston rod thread configurations to match specific load attachments and application demands: an internal thread (-P-A) or an external thread (-A-P-A). This flexibility ensures compatibility with diverse mechanical setups.
