Festo ADVU-50-160-A-P-A Compact Cylinder

Model Identifier ADVU-50-160-A-P-A
Official Part Number 156046
GTIN Standard NA

Technical Overview

Pneumatic compact cylinder with 50 mm piston diameter and double-acting operation. The datasheet lists stroke options from 1 mm to 300 mm, G1/8 pneumatic connection, piston rod thread M12x1.25, and elastic cushioning rings/plates at both ends. It supports compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4], operating pressure from 0.08 MPa to 1 MPa, and ambient temperatures from -20 °C to 80 °C. Construction uses a wrought aluminium alloy barrel and cover, high-alloy steel piston rod, and NBR/TPE-U(PU) dynamic seals.
