Bore 40 FESTO ADVUL‑40‑20‑P‑A PN156887 40x20mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Packaging Material Pushing

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑40 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders with a bore size of 40 mm. 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 spanning from 156884 to 156893, catering to diverse application needs.

Designed with 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 suffix "-P" indicates models equipped with dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to minimize end-of-stroke impacts and reduces operational noise for smoother performance.

For enhanced functionality, the suffix "-A" models incorporate an integrated T-slot designed to accommodate SME‑8 or SMT‑8 proximity switches. This allows for precise position signal feedback during operation. The cylinders feature a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod and NBR+PU composite seals, ensuring durable performance even under demanding industrial environments.

The pneumatic port is sized at G1/8 and supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. Moreover, the ADVUL‑40 series is fully compatible with Festo's genuine accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. These cylinders are particularly suited for high-power linear actuation applications within confined 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, thereby saving valuable installation space.

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

The dual-side elastic cushioning (-P variant) incorporates built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb impact at end-stops. This reduces noise levels and minimizes component wear, ultimately extending the service life of the equipment.

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A variant), the integrated T-slot is designed to accommodate SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors enable home and end-position signal outputs, facilitating seamless PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the product features a wrought aluminum barrel and end caps, along with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. The seals are made from an NBR and PU composite, providing CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance suitable for general factory environments.

It offers diversified mounting options, including direct through-hole mounting. Additionally, it is fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits, enhancing installation versatility.

The device supports flexible air medium compatibility with a G1/8 air port. It can operate with either oil-free compressed air or lubricated compressed air, with permanent lubrication required once lubrication is applied.

Technical Parameters:

This 40 mm bore guided compact pneumatic cylinder is part of the ADVUL series, offering double-acting operation with elastic cushioning on both sides. It is designed similarly to the 32mm bore anti‑rotation compact air cylinder, such as the Festo ADVUL‑32 compact guided cylinder, ensuring reliable and precise positioning.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that demands anti‑rotation capabilities, lateral load resistance, and a relatively high output force to achieve efficient linear motion.

These cylinders are ideal for a variety of industrial applications. In automatic assembly equipment, they excel in heavy‑duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press‑fit operations. Their robust design ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions.

In conveyor systems, ADVUL‑40 cylinders serve as key components for heavy‑material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms, providing dependable operation and extended service life. Similarly, packaging machinery benefits from their ability to handle heavy‑load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation with precision.

Machine-tool jigs and fixtures utilize these cylinders for short to medium stroke anti‑twist drive units, enhancing accuracy and stability during machining processes. Additionally, the ADVUL‑40 cylinders can be incorporated into multi‑position motion assemblies, creating 3‑4‑stop multi‑position cylinders when combined with a DPVU kit.

These compact cylinders are also well-suited for applications in light industry and auxiliary automation in injection molding. However, it is important to note that continuous eccentric side loads exceeding the limits specified in the datasheet should be avoided. For situations involving heavy offset loads, the installation of external guidance is strongly recommended to ensure safe and reliable operation.
