Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-20 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting operation. It features a 20 mm bore and incorporates an integrated magnetic piston, allowing for accurate position sensing during its movement.
This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings and plates at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, which helps to absorb shocks and reduce wear. It is available with standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 50 mm to suit various application needs.
Customers can choose between two piston rod thread configurations: an internal thread option designated as -P-A, or an external thread option labeled -A-P-A. The ADVU-20 operates efficiently within a pressure range of 0.8 to 10 bar.
Due to its compact size and reliable position feedback capability, the ADVU-20 is an excellent choice for automation systems where space constraints are a concern but precise control is essential.
Features:
Ultra-Compact Design
This cylinder offers an ultra-compact design that requires 50% less installation space compared to ISO 15552 standard cylinders. Its reduced size makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited, ensuring seamless integration into tight machine layouts.
Double-Acting Operation
Featuring double-acting operation, this cylinder delivers driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures consistent and controllable bidirectional motion, enhancing performance and precision in various automated processes.
Integrated Magnetic Piston
The cylinder includes an integrated magnetic piston that allows for non-contact position sensing using proximity switches. Sensors can be installed or replaced easily without any mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance and improving reliability.
Elastic Cushioning (P-type)
Equipped with flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends, the elastic cushioning system effectively reduces impact energy. This minimizes vibration and noise when the piston reaches the end positions, contributing to smoother and quieter operation.
Robust and Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Constructed from a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, along with a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, the cylinder boasts excellent durability. It uses NBR, TPE-U, or PU dynamic seals to enhance sealing performance and is rated with corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Flexible Mounting Options
The barrel features through-holes and there is a wide range of mounting accessories available, allowing for versatile installation. This flexibility enables the cylinder to be mounted securely in virtually any position according to application requirements.
Two Piston Rod Thread Variants
Customers can select between two piston rod thread configurations: an internal thread (-P-A) or an external thread (-A-P-A). These options cater to different load attachments and application needs, providing adaptability across various use cases.
