Elastic Cushion Guided Cylinder ADVUL‑40‑15‑P‑A FESTO PN156886 40x15mm for Jig Positioning

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑40 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 40 mm bore. These cylinders are available in a variety of 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, covering the full selection of options.

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. For enhanced performance, the cylinders with the suffix “-P” offer dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to dampen the impact at the end of the stroke and minimize operating noise.

Another variant in this series is the ADVUL‑40 with the suffix “-A.” This version integrates a T-slot designed for SME‑8 and SMT‑8 proximity switches, enabling accurate position signal feedback during operation. The construction utilizes a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod and composite seals made of NBR and PU, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance even in demanding industrial environments.

The pneumatic port is rated at G1/8 and is compatible with both oil-free and lubricated compressed air supplies. Moreover, the ADVUL‑40 series is fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as FUA flanges, SUA swivel flanges, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This compatibility makes the series an excellent choice for applications requiring high-power linear actuation within limited installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism is designed to resist torque and withstand lateral loads. This innovative feature eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, the slim-body construction allows for installation in any orientation. This makes it ideal for environments where space is limited and a versatile mounting solution is required.

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

Equipped with a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A), the integrated T-slot accommodates SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home and end-position signal outputs, facilitating seamless PLC automation.

Crafted from premium industrial materials, the unit features a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and NBR+PU composite seals. It offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, making it suitable for typical factory settings.

Offering diversified mounting options, direct through-hole mounting is available. Additionally, it is compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits to meet various installation requirements.

The system supports flexible air medium compatibility via a G1/8 air port. It can operate with oil-free compressed air or lubricated air; however, permanent lubrication is necessary once lubricated compressed air is used.

Technical Parameters:

The DVUL‑32‑P‑A pneumatic cylinder is a 32mm bore anti‑rotation compact air cylinder known for its reliable performance. The DVUL‑32‑P‑A pneumatic cylinder series offers excellent cushioning and position sensing features.

Applications:

The ADVUL-40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space. They provide essential features such as anti-rotation capability, resistance to lateral loads, and the ability to deliver relatively high output force for linear motion applications.

These cylinders are ideal for use in automatic assembly equipment, particularly in stations that require heavy-duty workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robust design ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions.

In conveyor systems, the ADVUL-40 cylinders function effectively as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. This makes them suitable for managing the flow and positioning of materials in various industrial environments.

Packaging machinery also benefits from these cylinders where heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation are required. Their compact size and strength help optimize packaging processes.

Additionally, they are well-suited for machine-tool jigs and fixtures, providing short to medium stroke anti-twist drive units that enhance accuracy and stability. The cylinders can also be configured for multi-position motion by assembling three to four stop multi-position cylinders using a DPVU kit.

The ADVUL-40 guided compact cylinders find applications in light-industry settings and injection-molding auxiliary automation, supporting a variety of tasks that demand reliable linear motion solutions.

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