ADVUL‑32‑10‑P‑A FESTO PN156875 32x10mm Guided Cylinder Lateral‑load & Position‑Detection for Conveyor Stopping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑32 series consists of guided compact double‑acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 32 mm bore. These cylinders offer a variety of stroke lengths including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm, with part numbers ranging from 156874 to 156883.

Designed with a built‑in guide‑rod‑and‑yoke anti‑rotation mechanism, this series effectively absorbs lateral forces and torque, eliminating the need for additional external guides. Models with the suffix ‑P are equipped with dual‑side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and reduces noise during operation. Additionally, variants marked with the suffix ‑A include an integrated T‑slot designed to accommodate SME‑8 or SMT‑8 proximity switches, providing reliable position feedback.

The cylinders are constructed using high-quality materials such as a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, coupled with a high‑alloy stainless‑steel piston rod and composite seals made from NBR and PU. This ensures durability and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a G1/8 pneumatic port, the ADVUL‑32 series operates efficiently with both oil‑free and lubricated compressed air.

Compatibility with the full range of original Festo accessories, including FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi‑position kits, makes these cylinders an excellent choice for precise linear actuation, especially within limited machine installation spaces.

Features:

This mechanism effectively resists torque while supporting lateral loads. As a result, it eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a slim-body construction, this design allows mounting in any orientation, making it ideal for installations with limited space.

Equipped with built-in elastic cushion rings, this feature absorbs the impact at end-stops, reduces noise levels, and minimizes wear on components, ultimately extending the service life of the product.

The integrated T-slot design accommodates SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors, which provide home and end-position signal outputs compatible with PLC automation systems.

Constructed with a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, and NBR+PU composite seals, this product offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for general factory environments.

Direct through-hole mounting is available, and the product is compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flanges, swivel flanges, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

Featuring a G1/8 air port, this product supports both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air. Note that permanent lubrication is required after initiating the use of lubricated air.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL‑32 guided compact cylinders are specially designed for machinery with limited space where anti-rotation capability and resistance to lateral loads are essential for linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in applications that require precise motion control and stability.

In automatic assembly equipment, these cylinders are ideal for tasks such as locating workpieces, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robust construction ensures consistent accuracy and enhances the efficiency of assembly line processes.

They are also widely used in conveyor systems, serving important functions such as material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. This makes them invaluable components for maintaining smooth and controlled material flow in various packaging and handling setups.

Packaging machinery benefits from ADVUL‑32 cylinders as well, where they act as pusher units, help in carton positioning, and facilitate fixture actuation. Their compact size and guided action make them suitable for tight spaces and repetitive movements.

Moreover, these cylinders find applications in 3C equipment and machine-tool jigs, providing short to medium-stroke anti-twist drive capabilities. They can also be assembled into multi-position cylinders with 3 to 4 stop positions using the DPVU kit, enabling complex motion control in a single compact unit.

Additional uses include light-industry automation and injection-molding auxiliary systems, where precision and compactness are highly valued.

Note: It is important not to subject the cylinders to continuous eccentric side loads exceeding the limits specified in the datasheet. For operations involving heavy offset loads, the use of external guidance is recommended to ensure safe and reliable performance.
