ADVUL‑100‑15‑P‑A FESTO PN156922 100x15mm Guided Cylinder Lateral‑load & Position‑Detection for Conveyor Stopping G1/4

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑100 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 100 mm bore. These cylinders come in various stroke lengths including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. Their part numbers range from 156921 to 156929, ensuring a broad selection to suit different application requirements.

Designed with a built-in guide-rod-and-yoke anti-rotation mechanism, these cylinders effectively absorb lateral forces and torque without the need for additional external guides. The models with the suffix "-P" include dual-side elastic cushioning that helps absorb the impact at the end of the stroke, thereby reducing operating noise and enhancing overall performance.

Additionally, versions marked with the suffix "-A" feature an integrated T-slot that is compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches. This integration enables position signal feedback, facilitating accurate and automated control within pneumatic systems.

Constructed from a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps, combined with a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, the ADVUL-100 series promises durability and long-life performance even under heavy-duty industrial conditions. The cylinders employ composite seals made from NBR and PU, which contribute to their reliability and longevity.

The cylinders use a G1/4 pneumatic port, which supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. They are fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories, including the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. This makes them ideal for applications requiring extra-high-thrust linear actuation 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, the slim-body construction allows for mounting in any orientation. This flexibility makes it ideal for installations where space is limited.

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

Designed with a proximity-sensor-ready profile (-A), the integrated T-slot accommodates SME-8 and SMT-8 magnetic sensors. This enables precise home and end-position signal output, supporting PLC automation seamlessly.

Manufactured from premium industrial materials, the product includes a wrought aluminum 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.

Diverse 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.

The flexible air medium compatibility features a G1/4 air port that supports both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. When using lubricated air, permanent lubrication is required to maintain optimal performance.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑100 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that require anti-rotation capabilities, resistance to lateral loads, and exceptionally high thrust linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable and efficient performance in demanding industrial environments.

In automatic assembly equipment, ADVUL‑100 cylinders excel in handling heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fit operations. Their robust design ensures stability and precision in these critical manufacturing processes.

For conveyor systems, these guided cylinders are ideal as heavy-material stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms. Their ability to withstand lateral forces and deliver strong thrust makes them well-suited for controlling material flow and positioning on production lines.

Packaging machinery benefits from the ADVUL‑100’s capacity to manage heavy-load pusher units, container positioning, and fixture actuation. This ensures smooth operation and accurate handling of packaging components, even under demanding conditions.

The cylinders are also used in machine-tool jigs and fixtures, providing short to medium stroke, anti-twist drive units capable of heavy-duty performance. This enhances the stability and precision required for complex machining tasks.

Additionally, the ADVUL‑100 cylinders support multi-position motion applications by assembling into 3-4 stop multi-position cylinders using the DPVU kit. This flexibility allows for versatile automation solutions in various industrial sectors.

These guided compact cylinders find applications across injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation, making them a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of heavy-duty linear motion requirements.

Packing and Shipping:

Product Packaging and Shipping for Piston Pneumatic Cylinder

Each piston pneumatic cylinder is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. The cylinder is first wrapped in a protective layer of anti-corrosion paper or plastic to prevent any damage during transit. It is then securely placed in a custom-fitted foam insert or molded plastic tray inside a sturdy cardboard box to minimize movement and absorb shocks.

For bulk orders, multiple units are arranged neatly in larger cartons with additional cushioning materials such as bubble wrap or air pillows to provide extra protection. All packaging materials used are industrial-grade to withstand handling and environmental factors during shipping.

Shipping is available via air, sea, or land freight depending on the destination and customer requirements. Each shipment includes clear labeling with product information, handling instructions, and relevant certifications to facilitate smooth customs clearance and delivery.

We prioritize timely and safe delivery, working with trusted logistics partners to ensure the piston pneumatic cylinders reach our customers promptly and in excellent condition.
