Bore 32 Mm ADVUL‑32‑50‑P‑A FESTO PN156881 32x50mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Tooling Clamping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑32 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 32 mm bore. These cylinders come with a variety of stroke lengths, including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The product range spans part numbers from 156874 to 156883, providing versatile options for different applications.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL‑32 series effectively absorbs lateral forces and torque without requiring any additional external guides. Additionally, models with the suffix "-P" include dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to mitigate the impact at the end of the stroke and reduce noise levels during operation. The suffix "-A" indicates the presence of an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches, enabling reliable position feedback.

These cylinders are constructed using a wrought aluminum barrel and end caps, combined with high-alloy stainless steel piston rods. They also utilize composite seals made of NBR and PU materials to ensure durability and long-term performance in industrial environments. The pneumatic port is sized at G1/8, and the cylinders are suitable for use with either oil-free or lubricated compressed air.

The ADVUL‑32 series is fully compatible with the complete range of original Festo accessories. This includes options such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. Thanks to their compact size and integrated features, these cylinders are ideal for linear actuation tasks, especially in applications where machine installation space is limited.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism effectively resists torque and supports lateral loads. This design eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, the slim-body construction allows the unit to be mounted in any orientation. This flexibility makes it ideal for installations in confined or limited spaces.

The dual-side elastic cushioning option (-P) incorporates built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb end-stop impacts. This reduces noise levels and minimizes component wear, resulting in an extended service life.

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A), the integrated T-slot is compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home and end-position signal outputs, facilitating seamless PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the product features a wrought aluminum barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, and NBR+PU composite seals. It offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, perfectly suited for general factory environments.

The design includes diversified mounting solutions, such as direct through-hole mounting. It is also compatible with genuine Festo accessories, including flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

Supporting flexible air medium compatibility, the device is equipped with a G1/8 air port. It can operate with oil-free air or lubricated compressed air; permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is introduced.

Applications:

The ADVUL-32 guided compact cylinders are specially designed for machinery with limited space that require both anti-rotation capabilities and lateral load resistance to ensure precise linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in various automated systems where space constraints are critical.

In the realm of automatic assembly equipment, these cylinders are ideal for tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fit operations. Their compact design and stability make them perfect for stations that demand high accuracy and repeatability.

Conveyor systems also benefit from the ADVUL-32 cylinders, where they function effectively as material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their robust construction supports smooth and controlled material handling processes.

Packaging machinery commonly utilizes these cylinders in applications like pusher units, carton positioning, and fixture actuation. Their resistance to lateral forces ensures consistent performance in high-speed packaging environments.

For specialized equipment such as 3C devices and machine-tool jigs, the ADVUL-32 cylinders serve as short to medium stroke anti-twist drive units, enhancing operational stability. Additionally, by integrating with a DPVU kit, they can be configured into multi-position cylinders with 3 to 4 stops, enabling versatile multi-position motion control.

The cylinders are also suited for light-industry and injection-molding auxiliary automation, providing dependable support to various automated processes in these fields. However, it is important to avoid continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. In cases of heavy offset loads, the use of external guidance mechanisms is recommended to maintain cylinder integrity and prolong service life.

Packing and Shipping:

Product Packaging and Shipping for Piston Pneumatic Cylinder

Each piston pneumatic cylinder is carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery and to prevent any damage during transit. The cylinder is first wrapped in protective foam or bubble wrap to safeguard against scratches and impacts. It is then placed inside a sturdy cardboard box, which is reinforced with additional padding materials such as foam inserts or air cushions to secure the product firmly in place.

For bulk orders, multiple units are packed in a larger carton with appropriate separators to avoid contact between individual cylinders. All packages are clearly labeled with product information, handling instructions, and shipping details to facilitate smooth processing and delivery.

Shipping options include standard ground freight, expedited air shipping, and international courier services, depending on customer requirements and destination. We ensure timely dispatch and provide tracking information so customers can monitor their shipment status.

Special care is taken to comply with all applicable shipping regulations and guidelines, particularly for export shipments, to guarantee that the piston pneumatic cylinder arrives safely and in optimal condition.
