For Automation Assembly Festo ADVU-16-5-P-A 156507 Compact Double-Acting Cylinder 16mm Bore 5mm Stroke Internal Thread M5 Port Magnetic Piston ISO 6432
Product Description:
The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with a 16 mm bore, featuring a double-acting mechanism. It includes an integrated magnetic piston that enables precise position sensing, ensuring accurate operation in various automation tasks.
This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings on both ends, known as P-type cushioning, which help to reduce impact and enhance the durability of the device. It is offered with standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm, providing flexibility to meet different application requirements.
Customers can choose between two piston rod designs: one with an internal thread (-P-A) and another with an external thread (-A-P-A). The operating pressure range for the ADVU-16 spans from 1.0 to 10 bar, making it suitable for a wide range of pneumatic systems.
Overall, the Festo ADVU-16 is an excellent choice for automation solutions where space-saving is crucial and reliable position feedback is required, ensuring efficient and precise performance in compact installations.
Features:
The ultra-compact design of this product requires up to 50% less installation space compared to standard ISO 15552 cylinders. This makes it an ideal solution for applications where space is limited and machine layouts are tight.
Featuring double-acting operation, the cylinder delivers driving force during both forward and return strokes. This ensures smooth, consistent, and controllable bidirectional motion for various industrial tasks.
An integrated magnetic piston allows for non-contact position detection through the use of proximity switches. These sensors can be mounted or replaced easily without the need for any mechanical adjustments, enhancing convenience and reliability.
The elastic cushioning system, specifically the P-type, incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends. This design effectively reduces impact energy, minimises vibration, and lowers noise levels when the piston reaches the end positions.
Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder features a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and dynamic seals made of NBR, TPE-U, or PU. It meets corrosion resistance class CRC 2 standards, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
To accommodate various installation requirements, the barrel includes through-holes and there is a wide selection of mounting accessories available. This flexibility allows for versatile mounting options in virtually any position.
Additionally, two piston rod thread options are offered: an internal thread (‑P‑A) and an external thread (‑A‑P‑A). These options provide compatibility with different load attachments and meet diverse application needs.
