FESTO ADVUL‑40‑5‑P‑A PN156884 40x5mm Anti‑Rotation Guided Cylinder Elastic Cushion for Assembly 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 these models range 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 without the need for additional external guides. Models with the suffix "-P" include dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to minimize the impact at the end of the stroke and significantly reduce operating noise during use.

Additionally, versions marked with the suffix "-A" come equipped with an integrated T-slot, which allows for the installation of SME-8 or SMT-8 proximity switches. This feature enables precise position signal feedback, enhancing control and automation capabilities.

The cylinders are constructed from high-quality materials, including a wrought-aluminum barrel and end caps, as well as a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod. Seals made of a composite of NBR and PU contribute to the units’ durability and long service life, even under demanding industrial conditions. The G1/8 pneumatic port supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, adding to the system’s versatility.

Fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories such as FUA flanges, SUA swivel flanges, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits, the ADVUL-40 series is ideal for providing high-power linear actuation within limited machine installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism effectively resists torque and supports lateral loads. This innovative design eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, the slim-body construction allows for versatile mounting options. It can be installed in any orientation, making it ideal for applications where installation space is limited.

Equipped with dual-side elastic cushioning (-P), built-in elastic cushion rings absorb the impact at the end-stops. This feature helps reduce noise levels and minimizes component wear, resulting in an extended service life.

The proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A) includes an integrated T-slot designed to accommodate SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home and end-position signal outputs, enabling seamless PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the product boasts a wrought aluminum barrel and end caps, along with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. It is sealed with NBR and PU composite materials, offering CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance suitable for general factory environments.

Multiple mounting solutions are available to enhance installation flexibility. Direct through-hole mounting is possible, and the design is compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flanges, swivel flanges, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

The device supports flexible air medium compatibility through a G1/8 air port. It can operate efficiently using oil-free air or lubricated compressed air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is introduced.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that demands anti-rotation capability, resistance to lateral loads, and a relatively high output force for linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in a variety of industrial applications where precision and durability are critical.

In the realm of automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL‑40 cylinders excel at handling heavy-duty tasks such as locating workpieces, clamping them securely, and performing press-fit operations. Their robust design ensures consistent operation even under challenging conditions.

Conveyor systems benefit from the ADVUL‑40's strength as well, making them ideal for use as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. This enhances the efficiency and safety of material handling processes.

Packaging machinery often requires powerful pusher units, accurate container positioning, and reliable fixture actuation. The ADVUL‑40 cylinders are perfectly suited for these tasks, providing the necessary force and guidance to maintain smooth operation.

For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, these cylinders serve as short to medium-stroke anti-twist drive units, offering stability and precision. Additionally, when combined with a DPVU kit, they can be configured into 3-to-4-stop multi-position cylinders to support complex multi-position motion requirements.

Light industry applications and injection-molding auxiliary automation also utilize the ADVUL‑40 guided compact cylinders, benefiting from their compact size and high performance.

Note: It is important not to apply continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the specified limits in the datasheet. For heavy offset loads, adding external guidance is recommended to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage.
