Product Description:
The FESTO ADVUL-40 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders with a 40 mm bore diameter. These cylinders are offered in a variety of stroke lengths, including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm, with corresponding part numbers ranging from 156884 to 156893.
Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL-40 series effectively absorbs lateral forces and torque. This eliminates the need for additional external guides, simplifying installation and enhancing durability. Additionally, models with the suffix “-P” feature dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb end-of-stroke impacts and reduce operational noise.
For applications requiring position feedback, the suffix “-A” variants incorporate an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches. This integration enables precise position signal detection for automated control systems. The cylinders are constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod and NBR+PU composite seals, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding industrial environments.
The pneumatic port uses a G1/8 thread and is compatible with both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. Furthermore, these cylinders are fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This makes the ADVUL-40 series ideal for delivering high-power linear actuation within confined machine installation spaces.
Features:
Integrated Guide-Rod & Yoke Anti-Rotation Mechanism
This mechanism effectively resists torque and is capable of bearing lateral loads. By eliminating the need for external guiding parts, it helps save valuable installation space, ensuring a more compact setup.
Compact Double-Acting Design
Featuring a slim-body construction, this design allows for mounting in any orientation. It is especially suitable for applications with limited installation space, offering greater flexibility and convenience.
Dual-Side Elastic Cushioning (-P)
Equipped with built-in elastic cushion rings on both sides, this feature absorbs the impact at end stops. It helps reduce noise levels and minimize component wear, thereby extending the overall service life of the equipment.
Proximity-Sensor-Ready Profile (-A)
The integrated T-slot design accommodates SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors, facilitating home and end-position signal output. This capability is ideal for seamless PLC automation integration.
Premium Industrial Materials
Constructed with high-quality materials, this product features 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.
Diversified Mounting Solutions
The design supports direct through-hole mounting and is compatible with genuine Festo accessories, including flanges, swivel flanges, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits. This versatility simplifies installation across various applications.
Flexible Air Medium Compatibility
Equipped with a G1/8 air port, the device supports both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air, although permanent lubrication is required if lubricated air is used. This ensures adaptable and reliable performance under different air medium conditions.

Applications:
The ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space. These cylinders offer excellent anti-rotation capabilities, strong lateral-load resistance, and the ability to deliver relatively high output force for linear motion applications.
They are commonly used in automatic assembly equipment, where they perform heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robust construction makes them ideal for these demanding environments.
In conveyor systems, ADVUL‑40 cylinders serve as reliable components for heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their strength and precision ensure smooth and effective material handling.
Packaging machinery benefits from these cylinders as well, particularly in heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. Their compact size and power make them suitable for intricate packaging processes.
Additionally, machine-tool jigs and fixtures utilize ADVUL‑40 cylinders for short to medium stroke anti-twist drive functions. This ensures stability and precision during machining operations.
For applications requiring multi-position motion, these cylinders can be integrated into 3 to 4-stop multi-position units by using the DPVU kit, providing versatility in motion control.
The ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders are also well suited for light-industry applications and injection-molding auxiliary automation, where their compact design and dependable performance prove advantageous.
Important Note: Continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet should be avoided. When facing heavy offset loads, it is recommended to add external guidance to ensure the longevity and reliability of the cylinder.
