FESTO ADVUL‑80‑15‑P‑A PN 156913, 80mm Bore 15mm Stroke Guided Cylinder With Lateral Load Capacity & Position‑Detection for Conveyor Stopping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑80 series comprises guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring an 80 mm bore diameter. These cylinders are available in a range of stroke lengths, including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The product line includes part numbers from 156912 through 156920, catering to various industrial needs.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, the ADVUL‑80 cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque without requiring any additional external guides. For enhanced performance, the suffix “-P” indicates dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to minimize end-of-stroke impact and decrease operating noise. Additionally, the suffix “-A” designates an integrated T-slot compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches, enabling precise position signal feedback.

Constructed using a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, these cylinders boast superior durability. The NBR and PU composite seals ensure long-lasting operation even under demanding heavy-duty industrial conditions. The G1/8 pneumatic port supports the use of both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, offering versatility to suit different applications.

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 them especially suitable for applications requiring extra-high-thrust linear actuation within limited installation spaces, offering a reliable and compact solution for industrial automation.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism is designed to resist torque and withstand lateral loads effectively. This innovation eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

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

The dual-side elastic cushioning option (‑P) incorporates 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.

Equipped with a proximity-sensor-ready profile (‑A), the integrated T-slot is compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home or end-position signal outputs, facilitating seamless PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the device features a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and NBR+PU composite seals. With CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, it is well-suited for typical factory environments.

A variety of mounting options 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, offering versatile installation possibilities.

The unit supports flexible air medium compatibility through its G1/8 air port. It can operate using oil-free compressed air or lubricated air; in the latter case, permanent lubrication must be maintained once lubrication is applied.

Applications:

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

In automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL‑80 cylinders are ideal for handling heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting stations. Their robust construction ensures stable operation even under demanding conditions.

They are also well-suited for conveyor systems, serving as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. This functionality helps maintain smooth and controlled material flow throughout the production line.

Packaging machinery benefits from the ADVUL‑80’s ability to manage heavy-load pusher units, accurately position containers, and actuate fixtures. These features enhance efficiency and reliability in packaging operations.

For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, the cylinders provide short to medium stroke anti-twist heavy-duty drive units, ensuring precise and stable movement. Additionally, with the DPVU kit, they can be configured into multi-position cylinders with 3 to 4 stops for versatile motion control.

The ADVUL‑80 cylinders are widely used in injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, demonstrating their adaptability across various demanding industrial environments.

Note: It is important to avoid applying continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. For applications involving heavy offset loads, adding external guidance is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
