Festo ADVUL-40-250-P-A Cylinder

Model Identifier ADVUL-40-250-P-A
Official Part Number 156205
GTIN Standard NA

Technical Overview

Compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder with 40 mm piston diameter, variable stroke range from 1 mm to 300 mm, and G1/8 pneumatic port. The official Festo datasheet for part number 156205 identifies it as ADVUL-40-250-P-A with elastic cushioning at both ends, any mounting position, rod design, and sensor-ready position detection. It operates on compressed air per ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4], with 1 to 10 bar working pressure, -20 °C to 80 °C ambient temperature, and theoretical force of 754 N on extension and 686 N on retraction at 6 bar.
