Elastic Cushion Guided Cylinder ADVUL‑80‑20‑P‑A FESTO PN156914 80x20mm for Jig Positioning

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑80 series consists of guided compact double‑acting pneumatic cylinders with an 80 mm bore diameter. 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.

Featuring a built‑in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation design, these cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. The model suffix ‘‑P’ indicates dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and minimizes operating noise.

Additionally, the ‘‑A’ suffix denotes the inclusion of an integrated T-slot, compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches to provide precise position signal feedback. The cylinder's construction includes a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod and NBR+PU composite seals, ensuring reliable long-term performance under demanding industrial environments.

Equipped with a G1/8 pneumatic port, the ADVUL-80 series supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. These cylinders 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 applications that require extra-high-thrust linear motion 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, this slim-body construction can be mounted in any orientation. It is especially suitable for applications with restricted installation spaces.

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

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A variant), the integrated T-slot accommodates SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors facilitate home and end-position signal outputs, enhancing PLC automation capabilities.

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 also offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, making it suitable for general factory environments.

Multiple mounting options are supported, including direct through-hole mounting. The product is compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flanges, swivel flanges, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits, allowing for versatile installation configurations.

The device supports flexible air medium compatibility with a G1/8 air port. It can operate with oil-free compressed air or lubricated air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is used.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑80 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that demands anti-rotation capability, resistance to lateral loads, and exceptionally high thrust for linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in applications where space and precision are crucial.

In automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL‑80 cylinders are ideal for handling heavy-duty tasks such as locating workpieces, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robustness ensures consistent performance even under demanding conditions.

Conveyor systems benefit from these cylinders as well, where they serve as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their strength and reliability make them suitable for managing large loads and precise positioning on conveyors.

Packaging machinery also utilizes ADVUL‑80 cylinders for tasks like heavy-load pushing, container positioning, and fixture actuation. Their compact design and high thrust capacity support efficient and accurate packaging processes.

Additionally, these cylinders are well-suited for machine-tool jigs and fixtures, providing short to medium stroke, anti-twist, heavy-duty drive units. This makes them valuable in setups that require precise, stable movements during machining operations.

For applications requiring multi-position motion, ADVUL‑80 cylinders can be configured into 3- or 4-stop multi-position cylinders by using the DPVU kit, expanding their versatility and functionality.

These cylinders are widely used across various industries including injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, thanks to their robust design and high performance.

Note: It is important not to apply continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. In cases of heavy offset loads, external guidance should be added to ensure safe and reliable operation.
