FESTO ADVUL‑50‑10‑P‑A PN156894 50x10mm Anti‑Rotation Guided Cylinder Elastic Cushion for Assembly Positioning

Product Description:

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

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL‑50 cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque. This innovative structure eliminates the need for additional external guides, enhancing installation flexibility and operational stability.

The suffix "-P" in the model number indicates the inclusion of dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and significantly reduces operating noise. Meanwhile, the suffix "-A" denotes an integrated T-slot designed to accommodate SME‑8 and SMT‑8 proximity switches, enabling precise position signal feedback.

Constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, paired with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, these cylinders are built for longevity even in heavy-duty industrial environments. The combination of NBR and PU composite seals further ensures durable and reliable performance.

The cylinders feature a G1/8 pneumatic port that supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, providing versatility in various applications. They are fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits, making them ideal for high-thrust linear actuation within tight machine installation spaces.

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 design, the slim-body construction allows the unit to be mounted in any orientation. This makes it especially suitable for installations in confined spaces.

The dual-side elastic cushioning (-P) includes built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb impacts at the end stops. This reduces noise levels and minimizes component wear, resulting in an extended service life.

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

Premium industrial materials are used throughout the construction, including a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, and NBR+PU composite seals. The CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance rating makes it suitable for general factory environments.

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

Designed for flexible air medium compatibility, it includes a G1/8 air port. The unit supports both oil-free operation and the use of lubricated compressed air, with permanent lubrication required once lubrication is applied.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

ADVUL-50 guided compact cylinders are specifically designed for machinery with limited space that demands anti-rotation capabilities, lateral load resistance, and high-thrust linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in applications where precision and durability are critical.

In automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL-50 cylinders are ideal for heavy-duty tasks such as locating workpieces, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robust design ensures accurate positioning and secure holding under challenging conditions.

Conveyor systems benefit from these cylinders by using them as stoppers for heavy materials, as well as diverters and blocking mechanisms. Their strength and stability help maintain smooth and efficient material handling processes.

Packaging machinery can rely on ADVUL-50 cylinders for heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. These cylinders support high-force movements necessary for effective packaging operations in industrial environments.

For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, ADVUL-50 cylinders serve as short to medium stroke anti-twist heavy-duty drive units. This makes them suitable for applications that require precise linear motion without rotational deviation.

Additionally, they can be integrated into multi-position motion systems by assembling 3 to 4 stop multi-position cylinders using the DPVU kit, enhancing their versatility in complex automation tasks.

These cylinders are also well-suited for injection molding processes and a variety of heavy-duty light-industry automation applications, providing dependable performance even under demanding conditions.

Note: It is important not to apply continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the specified datasheet limits. For applications involving heavy offset loads, adding external guidance is recommended to ensure proper function and longevity.
