Printing Machinery Festo ADVU-16-20-P-A 156510 20mm Stroke Internal Thread

Product Description:

The Festo ADVU-16 is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed with a 16 mm bore size. It features a double-acting mechanism, making it suitable for various automation tasks that require precise control of movement.

This cylinder includes an integrated magnetic piston, which allows for accurate position sensing during operation. Additionally, it is equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends, known as P-type cushioning, to ensure smooth and quiet operation while reducing impact forces.

The ADVU-16 is available in a range of standard stroke lengths from 5 mm up to 40 mm. Customers can choose between piston rods with internal threading (-P-A) or external threading (-A-P-A) depending on their specific installation requirements.

With an operating pressure range of 1.0 to 10 bar, this pneumatic cylinder is well suited for applications where space is limited but reliable position feedback is essential. Its compact design and integrated sensing features make it an excellent choice for efficient and dependable automation solutions.

Features:

Featuring an ultra-compact design, this cylinder requires up to 50% less installation space compared to standard ISO 15552 cylinders. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited and machine layouts are tight.

The cylinder operates in a double-acting mode, delivering driving force during both the forward and return strokes. This ensures reliable and controllable motion in both directions, enhancing precision and operational consistency.

Equipped with an integrated magnetic piston, the cylinder allows for non-contact position sensing through the use of proximity switches. These sensors can be easily mounted or replaced without the need for mechanical adjustments, simplifying maintenance tasks.

The elastic cushioning system, identifiable as the P-type, incorporates flexible cushioning rings and plates at both ends. This design effectively absorbs impact energy, minimizing vibrations and noise at the cylinder’s end positions for smoother operation.

Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the cylinder includes a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and dynamic seals made from NBR and TPE-U (PU). It meets corrosion resistance class CRC 2, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Installation flexibility is ensured through through-holes on the barrel combined with a comprehensive range of mounting accessories. This allows for versatile positioning and mounting options to fit various application requirements.

Additionally, the cylinder offers two piston rod thread choices to accommodate different load attachments and operational needs. Users can select either an internal thread (‑P‑A) or an external thread (‑A‑P‑A) depending on their specific application demands.

Applications:

Automated assembly lines benefit greatly from compact production stations that handle a variety of tasks such as clamping, positioning, sorting, stopping, ejecting, and workpiece handling. These efficient mechanisms ensure smooth and precise operations throughout the manufacturing process.

In packaging and filling machinery, compact actuators play a crucial role in functions like carton pushing, sealing press actuation, controlling conveyor diverters, and valve operation within confined spaces. Their reliable performance helps optimize packaging workflows.

The electronics and semiconductor manufacturing sector relies on high-precision equipment for tasks including pick-and-place operations, PCB depaneling, component assembly, and testing device positioning. Compact actuators provide the accuracy and consistency required for these delicate processes.

Material handling and conveyor systems utilize rotary and clamping stopper cylinders to manage conveyor lines, diverters, and distribution systems effectively. These compact components contribute to efficient material flow and system reliability.

In the automotive industry, the demand for dependable and compact actuators is high, especially for component assembly, parts feeding, and overall production line automation. These actuators help maintain productivity and quality standards.

Medical devices and laboratory automation require smooth and controlled linear motion to support diagnostic equipment, sample handling, and various biotechnology applications. Compact actuators provide the precision and reliability needed in such sensitive environments.

Robot end effectors and grippers benefit from compact pneumatic drives designed for collaborative robots, pick-and-place units, and automated gripping systems. These drives enhance flexibility and performance in robotic applications.

Printing and textile machinery demand robust and precise mechanisms for paper positioning, cutting press actuation, yarn clamping, and tension control, often operating under challenging conditions. Compact actuators help meet these stringent requirements effectively.
