FESTO ADVUL‑80‑25‑P‑A PN156915 80x25mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Packaging Material Pushing

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. The part numbers for these models range from 156912 to 156920, offering flexibility to suit different application requirements.

Equipped 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. For enhanced performance, the suffix "-P" indicates dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and significantly reduce operating noise.

Additionally, models with the suffix "-A" feature an integrated T-slot designed for SME-8 / SMT-8 proximity switches. This integration enables precise position signal feedback, improving control and automation capabilities.

The cylinders are constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, complemented by a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod. These materials, combined with NBR and PU composite seals, ensure long-lasting durability even under heavy-duty industrial conditions. The G1/8 pneumatic port supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, enhancing versatility.

Fully compatible with genuine Festo accessories, the ADVUL-80 series can be equipped with FUA flanges, SUA swivel flanges, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This compatibility makes them ideal for applications requiring 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 effectively handle lateral loads. This innovation eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, this product boasts a slim-body construction that can be mounted in any orientation. Its versatile form factor makes it ideal for use in confined spaces where installation space is limited.

For enhanced durability, the dual-side elastic cushioning (-P version) includes built-in elastic cushion rings. These rings absorb the impact from end stops, reduce noise levels, and minimize component wear, ultimately extending the service life of the device.

The proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A version) is equipped with an integrated T-slot designed to accommodate SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. This feature facilitates home and end-position signal output, enabling seamless integration with PLC automation systems.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, this product features 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 well-suited for general factory environments.

Offering diversified mounting options, the device supports direct through-hole mounting and is compatible with genuine Festo accessories, including flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits. This flexibility simplifies the installation process.

The system is compatible with flexible air mediums through a G1/8 air port. It supports both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air, though permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is applied to ensure optimal performance.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL‑80 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machines with limited space that need anti‑rotation capabilities, strong lateral-load resistance, and exceptionally high thrust for linear motion.

They are ideal for use in automatic assembly equipment, where they can handle heavy-duty tasks such as locating workpieces, clamping, and press-fitting operations with high precision and reliability.

In conveyor systems, these cylinders serve effectively as stoppers for heavy materials, diverters, and blocking mechanisms, ensuring smooth and controlled handling of loads.

Packaging machinery applications benefit from ADVUL‑80 cylinders in functions like heavy-load pusher units, accurate container positioning, and fixture actuation, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, these cylinders provide short- to medium-stroke drives that resist twisting, suitable for heavy-duty drive requirements in various industrial settings.

Additionally, multi-position motion can be achieved by assembling ADVUL‑80 cylinders into 3- or 4-stop multi-position configurations using the DPVU kit, offering versatile motion control options.

They are well-suited for demanding environments such as injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light-industry automation tasks.

Note: It is important to avoid applying continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the datasheet specifications. For scenarios involving heavy offset loads, adding external guidance is recommended to maintain performance and extend cylinder life.
