Robot End Effector Festo ADVU-16-40-P-A 156513 40mm Stroke Internal Thread

Product Description:

The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed for double-acting operation. It features a 16 mm bore size and includes an integrated magnetic piston, which allows for precise position sensing during its operation.

This cylinder is equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, to ensure smooth and controlled movement. It is available with standard stroke lengths ranging from 5 mm up to 40 mm to accommodate various application needs.

Customers can choose between two piston rod configurations: an internal thread option designated as -P-A, or an external thread option labeled as -A-P-A. The cylinder operates reliably within a pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar.

Due to its compact size and integrated position feedback features, the Festo ADVU-16 is particularly well-suited for automation applications where space savings and dependable performance are critical.

Features:

Featuring an ultra-compact design, these cylinders require up to 50% less installation space compared to the ISO 15552 standard cylinders. This makes them an ideal choice for machinery with limited space, ensuring efficient use of available room without compromising performance.

The cylinders operate on a double-acting principle, delivering force during both the forward and return strokes. This capability ensures consistent and precise bidirectional motion, enhancing control in various industrial applications.

Equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, these cylinders support non-contact position sensing through proximity switches. This design allows sensors to be mounted or replaced easily, without the need for any mechanical adjustments, thereby simplifying maintenance and setup.

The elastic cushioning system, denoted as P-type, utilizes flexible cushioning rings and plates located at both ends. This feature effectively reduces impact energy while minimizing vibration and noise when the piston reaches its end positions, contributing to smoother operation and prolonged component life.

Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinders boast a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, complemented by a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod. Dynamic seals made of NBR and TPE-U (PU) enhance durability, while the corrosion resistance class CRC 2 ensures reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments.

Installation is made versatile with flexible mounting options. The barrel includes through-holes and is compatible with a wide range of mounting accessories, allowing for easy setup in virtually any orientation or position to meet diverse application requirements.

Additionally, customers can select between two types of piston rod threads to accommodate different load attachments: an internal thread (‑P‑A) or an external thread (‑A‑P‑A). This choice provides adaptability to various operational needs and enhances the cylinder's applicability.
