ADVUL‑50‑60‑P‑A FESTO PN156901 50x60mm Anti‑Rotation Cylinder Position‑Detection

Product Description:

The FESTO ADVUL‑50 series consists of guided compact double-acting pneumatic cylinders featuring a 50 mm bore. These cylinders are available in various stroke lengths including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 mm. The relevant part numbers range from 156894 to 156902, covering the entire series.

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. This design ensures stable and reliable operation even in demanding applications.

Variants with the suffix ‑P incorporate dual-side elastic cushioning, which helps to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke and significantly reduces operating noise. Meanwhile, cylinders marked with the suffix ‑A come equipped with an integrated T-slot specifically designed for SME-8 or SMT-8 proximity switches, enabling precise position signal feedback.

Constructed with a wrought-aluminium barrel and end caps alongside a high-alloy stainless-steel piston rod, the ADVUL-50 series offers durability for heavy-duty industrial environments. The use of NBR and PU composite seals further enhances the long service life of these cylinders under challenging conditions.

The pneumatic port features a G1/8 connection compatible with both oil-free and lubricated compressed air. These cylinders are fully compatible with genuine FESTO accessories such as FUA flanges, SUA swivel flanges, clevis feet, and DPVU multi-position kits, making them an excellent choice for high-thrust linear actuation in confined machine installation spaces.

Features:

The integrated guide-rod and yoke anti-rotation mechanism effectively resists torque while supporting 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, making it ideal for installations with limited space.

The dual-side elastic cushioning option (‑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 product.

With a proximity-sensor-ready profile (‑A), the integrated T-slot is designed to accommodate SME-8 or SMT-8 magnetic sensors. These sensors provide home and end-position signals essential for PLC automation.

Constructed from premium industrial materials, the unit features a wrought aluminium barrel and end caps, a high-alloy stainless steel piston rod, and NBR+PU composite seals. It also offers CRC-2 moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for typical factory environments.

Versatile mounting options are available, including direct through-hole mounting. Additionally, it is compatible with genuine Festo accessories such as flange, swivel flange, clevis feet, and multi-position cylinder kits.

The product supports flexible air medium compatibility through a G1/8 air port. It is compatible with both oil-free operation and lubricated compressed air, although permanent lubrication is required if lubricated air is utilized.

Technical Parameters:

Applications:

The ADVUL‑50 guided compact cylinders are specially designed for machinery where space is limited but high performance is essential. These cylinders offer excellent anti-rotation capabilities, strong resistance to lateral loads, and powerful thrust for linear motion applications.

They are ideal for use in automatic assembly equipment, particularly in heavy-duty stations that involve workpiece locating, clamping, and press-fitting. Additionally, conveyor systems benefit from these cylinders when employed as stoppers for heavy materials, diverters, or blocking mechanisms.

In packaging machinery, the ADVUL‑50 cylinders excel as heavy-load pushers, ensuring precise container positioning and reliable fixture actuation. For machine-tool jigs and fixtures, these cylinders provide short to medium stroke anti-twist drives that can handle demanding tasks with ease.

The versatility of the ADVUL‑50 is further enhanced by its ability to be integrated into multi-position motion systems. Using the DPVU kit, it can be assembled into cylinders with three to four stopping positions, allowing for more complex motion control.

These cylinders are also well suited for applications in injection molding and various heavy-duty light industry automation scenarios. They deliver consistent performance where robust and precise linear motion is required.

Note: It is important to avoid applying continuous eccentric side loads that exceed the limits specified in the datasheet. When operating under heavy offset loads, the implementation of additional external guidance is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
