ADVUL‑100‑60‑P‑A FESTO PN156928 100x60mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection for Tooling Clamping

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL-100 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 100 mm bore. These cylinders are available in a variety of stroke lengths, including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The corresponding part numbers range from 156921 to 156929.

Designed with an integrated guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, these cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. Models with the suffix "-P" include dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and reduces operational noise.

Additionally, the suffix "-A" indicates the presence of an integrated T-slot that accommodates SME-8 or SMT-8 proximity switches, allowing for precise position signal feedback. The cylinder barrel and end caps are made from wrought aluminum, while the piston rod is constructed from high-alloy stainless steel. Composite seals made from NBR and PU ensure long-lasting performance even in heavy-duty industrial environments.

The pneumatic port is sized at G1/4 and supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. Compatibility with genuine Festo accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits makes these cylinders ideal for achieving extra-high-thrust linear actuation in limited installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism effectively resists torque and supports lateral loads. This innovative design eliminates the need for external guiding components, thereby saving valuable installation space.

Featuring a compact double-acting design, the slim-body construction allows for mounting in any orientation. This flexibility makes it ideal for installations within confined spaces where room is limited.

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

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A), it integrates a T-slot designed to accommodate SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home and end-position signals, facilitating PLC automation for enhanced control.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the barrel and end caps are made of wrought aluminum, while the piston rod utilizes high-alloy stainless steel. The sealing system combines NBR and PU composites, offering CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance suitable for general factory environments.

Installation is made versatile with diversified mounting options 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.

The air medium compatibility is flexible, featuring a G1/4 air port. It supports both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air, with the requirement that permanent lubrication must be applied once lubricated air is in use.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL‑100 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that requires features such as anti‑rotation capability, lateral‑load resistance, and exceptionally high thrust for linear motion.

These cylinders are ideal for use in automatic assembly equipment, particularly in stations handling heavy-duty tasks like workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting operations. Their robust design ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

In conveyor systems, ADVUL‑100 cylinders serve as effective components for managing heavy materials. They function efficiently as stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms, helping to maintain smooth and controlled material flow.

Packaging machinery benefits from these cylinders as well, where they are used in heavy-load pusher units, precise container positioning, and fixture actuation. Their compact size combined with high thrust makes them suitable for complex packaging processes.

For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, ADVUL‑100 cylinders provide short to medium stroke anti-twist drives that are capable of handling heavy-duty applications. This enhances the stability and accuracy of tooling operations.

Additionally, these cylinders can be configured into multi-position motion systems by assembling them into 3 to 4-stop multi-position cylinders using the DPVU kit, adding versatility to their range of applications.

Overall, ADVUL‑100 guided compact cylinders are well-suited for injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, offering reliable and powerful performance in a compact form factor.
