ADVUL‑80‑30‑P‑A FESTO PN156916 80x30mm Guided Cylinder Elastic Cushion for Assembly Clamping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL-80 series consists of guided, compact, double-acting pneumatic cylinders with an 80 mm bore. These cylinders come in various stroke lengths including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm, with part numbers ranging from 156912 to 156920.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation structure, these cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque, eliminating the need for additional external guides. The suffix "-P" variant features dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and reduce operational noise.

Additionally, the suffix "-A" models are equipped with an integrated T-slot that accommodates SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches, enabling precise position signal feedback. The cylinders are constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, coupled with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. NBR and PU composite seals ensure durable, long-lasting performance even in demanding industrial environments.

With a G1/8 pneumatic port, these cylinders support 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 makes the ADVUL-80 series ideal for applications requiring extra-high thrust linear actuation while operating within limited machine installation space.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism provides excellent resistance to torque while supporting lateral loads. This design eliminates the need for external guiding parts, thereby saving valuable installation space.

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

Equipped with dual-side elastic cushioning (–P), the built-in elastic cushion rings effectively absorb the impact at end stops. This reduces noise levels and minimizes component wear, resulting in a longer service life.

The proximity-sensor-ready profile (–A) includes an integrated T-slot that accepts SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. This facilitates home and end-position signal output, which is essential for PLC automation systems.

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

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

The device supports flexible air medium compatibility through a G1/8 air port. It can operate with either 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 specifically for machinery where space is limited but high performance is essential. These cylinders offer excellent anti-rotation capabilities, strong lateral-load resistance, and the ability to deliver extra high-thrust linear motion, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.

In automatic assembly equipment, the ADVUL‑80 cylinders are used for heavy-duty tasks such as locating workpieces, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robust construction ensures precise and reliable performance in these critical areas.

For conveyor systems, these cylinders serve as effective stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms, capable of handling heavy materials with ease. Their strength and reliability contribute to smooth and safe conveyor operations.

Packaging machinery benefits from the ADVUL‑80 in applications like heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. Their compact size combined with high thrust power makes them well-suited for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of packaging processes.

In the field of machine-tool jigs and fixtures, the ADVUL‑80 provides short to medium stroke, anti-twist, heavy-duty drive capabilities. Additionally, it can be configured for multi-position motion by assembling 3 to 4 stop cylinders using the DPVU kit, allowing for versatile motion control.

These cylinders are widely used in injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, where robust and precise motion solutions are critical for operational success. However, users should be cautious not to apply continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. When dealing with heavy offset loads, it is necessary to add external guidance to ensure safe and effective operation.
