FESTO ADVUL‑50‑25‑P‑A PN156897 50x25mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Packaging Material Pushing

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑50 series comprises guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 50 mm bore. These cylinders come in a range of stroke lengths including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm, with part numbers spanning from 156894 to 156902.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, these cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque. This innovative structure eliminates the necessity for additional external guides, enhancing reliability and simplifying installation.

Certain models include special suffixes to enhance functionality: the ‑P suffix indicates dual-side elastic cushioning that diminishes end-of-stroke impacts and reduces operational noise. Meanwhile, the ‑A suffix denotes an integrated T-slot, compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches, thereby facilitating precise position signal feedback.

Constructed from high-quality materials, the cylinders feature a barrel and end caps made of wrought aluminum, complemented by a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod. The use of NBR and PU composite seals ensures durable, long-lasting performance, even under demanding industrial conditions.

Equipped with a G1/8 pneumatic port, these cylinders support both oil-free and lubricated compressed air environments. Furthermore, they are fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories, including the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This makes them an ideal choice for high-thrust linear actuation tasks, especially where installation space is limited.

Features:

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

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

The dual-side elastic cushioning option (-P) incorporates built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb impacts at end stops. This reduces noise and minimizes component wear, contributing to an extended service lifespan.

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

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the product 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, suitable for typical factory environments.

The design supports diversified mounting options, including direct through-hole mounting. It is also compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flanges, swivel flanges, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

Equipped with a G1/8 air port, the unit supports flexible air medium compatibility. It can operate with oil-free compressed air or lubricated compressed air, with permanent lubrication required once lubricated air is used.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑50 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space where there is a need for anti-rotation features, resistance to lateral loads, and the capability to deliver high-thrust linear motion. These cylinders offer reliable performance in compact environments, making them ideal for various industrial applications.

In automatic assembly equipment, these cylinders are used for demanding tasks such as heavy-duty workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fit operations. Their robust construction ensures precision and stability throughout the assembly process.

The cylinders are also well-suited for conveyor systems, where they serve as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their ability to withstand significant lateral forces allows for efficient and safe material handling.

Within packaging machinery, ADVUL‑50 cylinders function as powerful pusher units capable of handling heavy loads. They assist in container positioning and the actuation of fixtures, ensuring smooth and accurate packaging operations.

Additionally, in machine-tool jigs and fixtures, these compact cylinders provide short to medium stroke, anti-twist heavy-duty drive solutions. Their guided design effectively prevents rotation, enhancing the reliability of tooling setups.

For applications requiring multi-position motion, such as those involving 3 to 4 stop points, the ADVUL‑50 can be integrated with the DPVU kit to form a versatile multi-position cylinder. This enables flexible and precise control over complex motion sequences.

Moreover, these guided compact cylinders are suitable for use in injection molding and heavy-duty light-industry automation environments, where their durability and high thrust capacity contribute to improved productivity.

Note: It is important not to subject the cylinders to continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. In situations involving heavy offset loads, the addition of external guidance is recommended to ensure long-term performance and safety.

Packing and Shipping:

Product Packaging and Shipping

Each Piston Pneumatic Cylinder is carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery and maintain product integrity. The cylinder is first wrapped in protective foam or bubble wrap to prevent any damage during transit. It is then placed in a sturdy, custom-fitted cardboard box designed to minimize movement and absorb shocks.

For added protection, the box may be sealed with reinforced tape and labeled with handling instructions such as “Fragile” and “Handle with Care.” Depending on the order size, multiple units may be packed together with appropriate cushioning materials separating each item.

Shipping options include standard ground transportation, expedited air freight, or express courier services to meet customer requirements. All shipments are tracked and insured to ensure timely and secure delivery.

Customers will receive a tracking number once the order has been dispatched, allowing them to monitor the shipment status until it arrives at the designated location.
