ADVUL‑40‑25‑P‑A FESTO PN156888 40x25mm Guided Cylinder Elastic Cushion for Assembly Clamping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑40 series consists of compact, guided double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 40 mm bore. These cylinders are offered in various stroke lengths, including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The product range is identified by part numbers from 156884 to 156893, catering to diverse application requirements.

Designed with a built-in guide rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL-40 series effectively absorbs lateral forces and torque. This innovative structure eliminates the need for additional external guides, simplifying installation and enhancing reliability. Two suffix options are available to enhance functionality: the -P suffix adds dual-side elastic cushioning that minimizes end-of-stroke impacts and reduces operational noise, while the -A suffix incorporates an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 or SMT-8 proximity switches for accurate position signal feedback.

Constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps combined with a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, these cylinders provide robust durability suitable for demanding industrial environments. The use of NBR and PU composite seals further ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to wear. The G1/8 pneumatic port is compatible with both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, offering versatility for different pneumatic systems.

Moreover, the series is fully compatible with original Festo accessories, such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This compatibility makes the ADVUL-40 series an ideal solution for high-power linear actuation applications, especially where installation space is limited within machinery.

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 parts, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, the slim-body construction allows for mounting in any orientation. This flexibility makes it ideal for installations where space is limited.

The dual-side elastic cushioning, indicated by the -P option, includes built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb end-stop impacts. This results in lower noise levels and reduced component wear, contributing to an extended service life.

A proximity-sensor-ready profile, labeled as -A, integrates a T-slot that accommodates SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors enable home and end-position signal outputs, facilitating PLC automation processes.

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

Offering diversified mounting solutions, the design supports direct through-hole mounting and is compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flanges, swivel flanges, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

The unit is compatible with flexible air media options through its G1/8 air port. It supports both oil-free operation and the use of lubricated compressed air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is applied.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery that has limited space but requires strong anti-rotation capabilities, excellent lateral-load resistance, and a relatively high output force for linear motion applications. Their robust construction makes them ideal for various industrial uses where precision and durability are critical.

In automatic assembly equipment, these cylinders are perfect for demanding tasks such as heavy-duty locating, clamping, and press-fitting of workpieces. Their ability to maintain stability under load ensures reliable and consistent performance in production lines.

They are also widely used in conveyor systems, where they function effectively as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. This versatility helps in managing the flow of materials safely and efficiently across different processing stages.

Packaging machinery benefits from the ADVUL‑40 cylinders by employing them as heavy-load pusher units, container positioning devices, and fixture actuators. Their strength and precise movement improve packaging accuracy and speed.

Furthermore, these cylinders are suitable for machine-tool jigs and fixtures, particularly for short to medium stroke anti-twist drive units, enhancing the reliability of tooling processes. For multi-position motion requirements, the cylinders can be configured into 3- or 4-stop multi-position units using the DPVU kit.

In addition, the ADVUL‑40 cylinders find applications in light industry and auxiliary automation in injection molding processes, supporting various auxiliary tasks with dependable linear motion.

Important Note: Continuous eccentric side loads should not exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. In cases of heavy offset loads, it is recommended to add external guidance to prevent damage and ensure optimal cylinder performance.
