FESTO ADVUL‑40‑40‑P‑A PN156890 40x40mm Guided Cylinder Elastic Cushion for Conveyor Sorting

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL-40 series comprises guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders designed with a 40 mm bore. These cylinders come in various stroke lengths, including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The part numbers for this series range from 156884 to 156893, ensuring precise identification and ordering.

Featuring a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL-40 series effectively absorbs lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. The cylinders also offer optional features indicated by suffixes: “-P” denotes dual-side elastic cushioning that minimizes end-of-stroke impact and reduces operational noise, while “-A” includes an integrated T-slot designed for SME-8/SMT-8 proximity switches to provide position feedback signals.

Constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod and NBR+PU composite seals, these cylinders deliver long-lasting performance even under demanding industrial environments. The G1/8 pneumatic port supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, enhancing versatility and reliability.

Moreover, the ADVUL-40 series is fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This compatibility makes the series an ideal choice for applications requiring powerful linear actuation within compact machine installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism effectively resists torque while bearing lateral loads. This design eliminates the need for external guiding components, resulting in a more compact setup and saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, this device boasts a slim profile that can be mounted in any orientation. Its space-saving construction makes it ideal for installations where space is limited or confined.

The dual-side elastic cushioning (denoted as -P) includes built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb impacts at the end stops. This feature helps to minimize noise levels and reduce wear on components, thereby extending the service life of the product.

Designed with a proximity-sensor-ready profile (marked as -A), it incorporates an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors enable home and end-position signal output for seamless integration with PLC automation systems.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the product includes a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, and composite seals made from NBR and PU. It offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, making it suitable for general factory environments.

Diverse mounting options are available, including direct through-hole mounting. It is also compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits, providing flexibility for various application needs.

The device supports flexible air medium compatibility with a G1/8 air port. It can operate using oil-free compressed air or lubricated compressed air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is applied to ensure optimal performance.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that requires anti-rotation capabilities, resistance to lateral loads, and a relatively high output force for linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in demanding industrial applications where precision and strength are essential.

In automatic assembly equipment, the ADVUL‑40 cylinders are utilized for heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting stations. Their robust construction ensures stability and accuracy during these critical operations.

Conveyor systems benefit from these cylinders as well, where they serve as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their ability to withstand lateral loads makes them ideal for controlling the flow of materials effectively.

Packaging machinery also takes advantage of ADVUL‑40 cylinders in applications requiring heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. This enhances packaging speed and precision while handling substantial loads.

Additionally, the cylinders are suitable for machine-tool jigs and fixtures, particularly for short to medium stroke anti-twist drive units. They can be incorporated into multi-position motion systems, enabling the assembly of 3 to 4-stop multi-position cylinders using the DPVU kit.

These compact guided cylinders are commonly used in light industry and serve as auxiliaries in injection-molding automation, contributing to streamlined production processes.

Note: It is important not to apply continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. When dealing with heavy offset loads, external guidance should be added to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the cylinders.

Packing and Shipping:

Product Packaging and Shipping for Piston Pneumatic Cylinder

Each piston pneumatic cylinder is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. The cylinder is first wrapped in protective foam or bubble wrap to prevent any damage during transit. It is then placed in a sturdy cardboard box, with additional cushioning materials such as packing peanuts or air pillows to minimize movement inside the box.

The packaging is clearly labeled with product information, handling instructions, and shipping details to facilitate smooth delivery. For bulk orders, cylinders are packed in larger cartons with dividers to keep each unit secure.

Shipping is conducted through reliable carriers with options for standard or expedited delivery. Tracking information is provided once the order is dispatched, allowing customers to monitor their shipment until it arrives.

We also offer customized packaging solutions upon request to meet specific requirements or branding needs.
