ADVUL‑40‑50‑P‑A FESTO PN156891 40x50mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Tooling Clamping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑40 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders with a bore diameter of 40 mm. These cylinders are available in a variety of stroke lengths, including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. Their part numbers range from 156884 to 156893, covering the complete selection.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL‑40 cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. This feature enhances stability and reliability during operation. The suffix "-P" denotes cylinders equipped with dual-side elastic cushioning, which minimizes impact at the end of the stroke and reduces operating noise.

Models with the suffix "-A" come with an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches, allowing for precise position feedback signals. The cylinders are constructed from a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. The use of NBR and PU composite seals ensures durability and long service life even in industrial environments.

The pneumatic ports are G1/8 sized and can handle both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. The ADVUL‑40 series is fully compatible with authentic Festo accessories, such as FUA flanges, SUA swivel flanges, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This makes them an excellent choice for high-power linear actuation applications within limited machine installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism effectively resists torque while supporting 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 for mounting in any orientation, making it ideal for installations where space is limited.

The dual-side elastic cushioning (designated as -P) incorporates built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb the impact at end-stops. This reduces noise and minimizes wear on components, extending the overall service life of the product.

Equipped 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 barrel and end caps are made of wrought aluminum, while the piston rod is crafted from high-alloy stainless steel. Additionally, NBR+PU composite seals provide CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for general factory environments.

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

With flexible air medium compatibility, the unit features a G1/8 air port and supports operation with either oil-free or lubricated compressed air. Note that permanent lubrication is required when lubricated air is used.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL-40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space, offering robust anti-rotation capabilities, lateral load resistance, and a relatively high output force for linear motion applications.

These cylinders are ideal for use in automatic assembly equipment, where they handle heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their strength and precision make them well-suited for demanding industrial environments.

In conveyor systems, ADVUL-40 cylinders serve important roles including heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their reliable performance ensures smooth and controlled handling of materials on production lines.

Packaging machinery also benefits from these cylinders, particularly in heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. Their compact design and power enable efficient packaging processes with precise motion control.

Additionally, ADVUL-40 cylinders are useful in machine-tool jigs and fixtures for short to medium stroke anti-twist drive applications. For multi-position motion requirements, they can be assembled into 3- or 4-stop multi-position cylinders using a DPVU kit, expanding their versatility in various automation tasks.

These cylinders are commonly employed in light-industry and injection-molding auxiliary automation as well, where space constraints and reliable motion control are crucial.

Note: Continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the datasheet limits should be avoided. When operating under heavy offset loads, it is necessary to provide additional external guidance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the cylinders.
