Guided Cylinder With Elastic Cushion FESTO ADVUL‑80‑80‑P‑A PN156920 80x80mm for Material Sorting

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑80 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring an 80 mm bore. These cylinders are available in a variety of stroke lengths including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The part numbers for these models range from 156912 to 156920, catering to a wide spectrum of application requirements.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL‑80 series effectively absorbs lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. The suffix “-P” designates models equipped with dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and significantly reduces operational noise.

Additionally, models marked with the suffix “-A” include an integrated T-slot designed for SME-8 or SMT-8 proximity switches, enabling precise position signal feedback. The construction features a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. These materials, together with NBR and PU composite seals, ensure long-lasting performance even under heavy-duty industrial conditions.

The pneumatic port is sized at G1/8 and supports the use of either oil-free or lubricated compressed air, providing versatility in different operating environments. Furthermore, the ADVUL‑80 series is fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This makes the series ideal for delivering extra-high-thrust 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 effectively. This 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 versatile mounting in any orientation, making it ideal for installations with limited space.

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

The proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A) comes with an integrated T-slot designed to accommodate SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. This enables home and end-position signal output, facilitating seamless PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the product features a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and composite seals made from NBR and PU. It offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for general factory environments.

There are diverse mounting options available, including direct through-hole mounting. The product is also compatible with genuine Festo accessories, such as flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits, providing great installation flexibility.

The flexible air medium compatibility includes a G1/8 air port and supports both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air. It is important to note that permanent lubrication becomes necessary once lubricated air is applied.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL-80 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that requires capabilities such as anti-rotation, lateral-load resistance, and exceptionally high-thrust linear motion. These cylinders are ideal for applications where precision and strength are critical.

In automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL-80 cylinders excel in handling heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fit stations. Their robust construction ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

They are also highly effective in conveyor systems, where they are used as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms, providing reliable control over the movement of materials.

In packaging machinery, these cylinders serve as heavy-load pusher units, assist in container positioning, and drive fixture actuation, making them essential components for high-load operations.

For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, the ADVUL-80 provides short to medium stroke anti-twist heavy-duty drive units, delivering precise and stable motion control.

The cylinders can also be combined with a DPVU kit to form multi-position cylinders with 3 to 4 stops, enabling versatile multi-position motion capabilities.

These cylinders are suitable for a wide range of industries, including injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, due to their high-force output and compact design.

Important Note: Continuous eccentric side loads beyond the datasheet limits should be avoided. For applications involving heavy offset loads, it is recommended to add external guidance to ensure system integrity and prolong cylinder life.
