ADVUL‑80‑60‑P‑A FESTO PN156919 80x60mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Tooling Clamping

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 various stroke lengths including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The product range covers part numbers from 156912 to 156920, catering to diverse application requirements.

A unique built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation design allows these cylinders to absorb lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. This design enhances operational stability and simplifies installation. The suffix “-P” indicates dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke, effectively minimizing operating noise.

Furthermore, the suffix “-A” signifies an integrated T-slot specifically designed for SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches. This feature provides reliable position signal feedback, facilitating precise control and monitoring in various automation systems. Construction-wise, the cylinder includes a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. The use of composite seals made from NBR and PU ensures long-lasting performance even under heavy-duty industrial conditions.

Equipped with a G1/8 pneumatic port, the ADVUL-80 series supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air systems. They are fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This compatibility makes them an ideal solution for applications requiring extra-high thrust 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 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 flexibility makes it ideal for applications where installation space is limited.

The dual-side elastic cushioning (indicated by -P) incorporates built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb the impact at end stops. This reduces noise levels and minimizes wear on components, resulting in an extended service life.

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (marked as -A), the integrated T-slot is designed to accommodate SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home and end-position signal outputs, facilitating seamless PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the device includes a wrought aluminium 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 typical factory environments.

A variety of mounting solutions are available, 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, providing great versatility.

The unit supports flexible air medium compatibility via a G1/8 air port. It is capable of operating with oil-free air or lubricated compressed air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is used.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑80 guided compact cylinders are designed for machinery with limited space, offering features such as anti-rotation capability, lateral load resistance, and exceptionally high-thrust linear motion. These cylinders are ideal for applications where stability and durability are critical under demanding conditions.

In automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL-80 cylinders are used for heavy-duty tasks such as precise workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fit operations. Their robust construction ensures reliable performance in environments requiring consistent and powerful motion control.

For conveyor systems, these cylinders serve as strong material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their ability to handle heavy loads makes them suitable for managing the movement and direction of substantial materials efficiently.

Packaging machinery also benefits from ADVUL-80 cylinders, where they are employed in heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. Their compact design allows them to fit in tight spaces without compromising performance.

Additionally, in machine-tool jigs and fixtures, ADVUL-80 cylinders provide short to medium stroke anti-twist heavy-duty drive units that enhance precision and operational stability. They can also be integrated into multi-position motion systems by assembling 3 to 4-stop multi-position cylinders using the DPVU kit.

These cylinders are widely used in injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, proving their versatility across various demanding industrial sectors.

Note: It is important not to subject the ADVUL-80 cylinders to continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. For applications involving heavy offset loads, external guidance should be implemented to maintain proper function and prolong the lifespan of the cylinders.
