ADVUL‑40‑10‑P‑A FESTO PN156885 40x10mm Guided Cylinder Lateral‑load & Position‑Detection for Conveyor Stopping

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 available in a range of stroke lengths, including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm, and are identified by 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 without the need for additional external guides. The cylinders with the suffix "-P" include dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb end-of-stroke impacts and minimize operating noise. Meanwhile, those labeled with the suffix "-A" feature an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 or SMT-8 proximity switches, providing reliable position signal feedback.

Constructed from a wrought-aluminum barrel and end caps combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, these cylinders ensure durable, long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments. The use of NBR and PU composite seals further enhances their reliability. Equipped with a G1/8 pneumatic port, the cylinders support both oil-free and lubricated compressed air supply.

Fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits, the ADVUL-40 series is ideally suited for high-power linear actuation applications where space is limited within machine installations.

Features:

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

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

The dual-side elastic cushioning option (-P) includes built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb the impact at end-stops. This reduces noise levels and minimizes wear on the components, ensuring a longer service life for the device.

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A), the integrated T-slot is compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors, providing reliable home and end-position signal output for seamless PLC automation integration.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the cylinder features a wrought aluminum 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 general factory environments.

The product supports diversified mounting solutions, 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 for versatile installation options.

Designed for flexible air medium compatibility, the cylinder includes a G1/8 air port. It supports both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is applied.

Applications:

ADVUL-40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space, providing 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 a variety of industrial uses. In automatic assembly equipment, they are commonly used for heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fit stations, where robust performance is crucial.

In conveyor systems, ADVUL-40 cylinders serve effectively as stoppers for heavy materials, diverters, and blocking mechanisms, ensuring reliable handling and control of transported items.

Packaging machinery also benefits from these cylinders, utilizing them for heavy-load pusher units, accurate container positioning, and the actuation of fixtures, which demand strong and precise movements.

Additionally, machine-tool jigs and fixtures incorporate ADVUL-40 cylinders as short to medium stroke anti-twist drive units, contributing to enhanced stability and accuracy.

For applications requiring multiple positions, these guided compact cylinders can be combined into 3- or 4-stop multi-position cylinders through the use of the DPVU kit, offering flexible motion control.

ADVUL-40 cylinders are also well-suited for light-industry tasks and serve as auxiliary automation components in injection molding operations.

Note: It is important to avoid applying continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. When dealing with heavy offset loads, additional external guidance should be incorporated to ensure optimal cylinder performance and longevity.
