ADVUL 100 Series FESTO ADVUL‑100‑10‑P‑A PN156921 100x10mm Anti‑Rotation Guided Cylinder Elastic Cushion for Assembly Positioning

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 various stroke lengths, including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The part numbers for this series range from 156921 to 156929, covering the full spectrum of stroke options.

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 suffix -P designates models equipped with dual-side elastic cushioning, which serves to reduce end-of-stroke impact and minimize operational noise. Meanwhile, the suffix -A identifies models that include an integrated T-slot, compatible with SME-8 and SMT-8 proximity switches, enabling position signal feedback.

Constructed from high-quality materials, the ADVUL‑100 series features wrought-aluminium barrels and end caps, as well as high-alloy stainless-steel piston rods. Combined with NBR and PU composite seals, these components ensure long-lasting performance even under demanding heavy-duty industrial conditions. The G1/4 pneumatic port accommodates both oil-free and lubricated compressed air, enhancing the cylinder's versatility.

These cylinders are fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories such as the FUA flange, SUA swivel flange, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits. Due to their compact design and high thrust capabilities, the ADVUL-100 series is ideal for applications requiring extra-high-thrust linear actuation within confined machine installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism is designed to resist torque and handle 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 mounting in any orientation. This makes it ideal for installation in areas where space is limited.

The dual-side elastic cushioning (‑P) includes built-in elastic cushion rings that absorb end-stop impacts. This reduces noise levels and minimizes component wear, ultimately extending the service life of the equipment.

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 output, facilitating automation through PLC systems.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the barrel and end caps are made of wrought aluminium, while the piston rod is crafted from high-alloy stainless steel. The seals combine NBR and PU composites, offering CRC‑2 moderate corrosion resistance suitable for general factory environments.

A variety of mounting options are available, including direct through-hole mounting. The design is also compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

The system supports flexible air medium compatibility via a G1/4 air port. It can operate with oil-free air or lubricated compressed air; however, permanent lubrication is required once lubricated air is applied.

Applications:

The ADVUL‑100 guided compact cylinders are designed specifically for machinery with limited space that demands anti-rotation capabilities, strong lateral-load resistance, and exceptionally high thrust linear motion. These cylinders provide reliable performance in environments where precision and durability are essential.

In automatic assembly equipment, the ADVUL-100 cylinders excel in handling heavy-duty tasks such as workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting stations. Their robust design ensures stable and efficient operation during these critical manufacturing processes.

For conveyor systems, these cylinders serve as effective stoppers, diverters, and blocking mechanisms designed to manage heavy materials. Their ability to withstand substantial loads makes them ideal for maintaining smooth and controlled material flow.

Packaging machinery benefits from the ADVUL-100 cylinders through their capacity to operate heavy-load pusher units, accurately position containers, and actuate fixtures. This enhances the speed and reliability of packaging lines, contributing to increased productivity.

Additionally, in machine-tool jigs and fixtures, the cylinders provide short to medium stroke anti-twist solutions for heavy-duty drive units. Their guided design minimizes rotation and improves the precision of tooling operations.

For applications requiring multi-position motion, the ADVUL-100 cylinders can be assembled into 3- or 4-stop multi-position cylinders using the DPVU kit, offering versatility for complex automation tasks.

Overall, these guided compact cylinders are well-suited for injection molding, heavy industry, and heavy-duty light industry automation applications, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of demanding industrial environments.

Packing and Shipping:

Product Packaging and Shipping for Piston Pneumatic Cylinder

Each piston pneumatic cylinder is carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery and optimal protection during transit. The cylinder is first wrapped in anti-static foam or bubble wrap to prevent scratches and damage. It is then placed inside a sturdy cardboard box, with additional cushioning materials such as foam inserts or packing peanuts to minimize movement and absorb shocks.

The packaging box is clearly labeled with the product name, model number, and handling instructions such as "Fragile" and "This Side Up" to ensure proper care during shipping.

For bulk orders, multiple units are packed securely in larger cartons or wooden crates, with proper separators to avoid any contact between cylinders.

Shipping is typically carried out via reliable courier services or freight carriers, with tracking information provided to the customer. Depending on the destination, options for expedited shipping or standard delivery are available.

We ensure that all packaging materials comply with environmental standards and are recyclable wherever possible.
