Product Information

Full details

This Festo ADN series compact air cylinder is designed for automation engineers and machine builders who need reliable, space-saving pneumatic actuation. Its primary benefit is a significantly reduced installation footprint, up to 50% smaller than standard ISO 15552 cylinders, without sacrificing performance. A potential caveat is the smaller M5 pneumatic connection, which may require specific adapters for some existing systems. This double-acting cylinder features a 20mm bore, 20mm stroke, elastic cushioning, and a magnetic piston for position sensing, making it ideal for applications requiring precision and efficiency in confined spaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the ADN series cylinder?

The main advantage is its compact design, offering up to 50% less installation space compared to standard ISO 15552 cylinders, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The maximum operating pressure for this cylinder is 10 bar.

Does this cylinder come with position sensors?

No, the cylinder has a magnetic piston that allows for position sensing, but you need to purchase compatible magnetic switches separately.

What does 'double-acting' mean?

Double-acting means the cylinder uses compressed air to move the piston in both directions (extend and retract), providing controlled force in both strokes.

What is the function of the elastic cushioning?

The elastic cushioning rings at the end caps absorb the impact of the piston at the end of its stroke, reducing noise and wear, and providing a smoother stop.

What standards does this cylinder comply with?

This cylinder complies with the ISO 21287 standard for compact cylinders.

What is the thread size for the pneumatic connection?

The pneumatic connection thread size is M5.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder not moving or moving sluggishly

Check air pressure is within the 10 bar limit. Ensure air lines are properly connected and not obstructed. Verify the pneumatic control valves are functioning correctly. Check for leaks.

Excessive noise during operation

Verify the elastic cushioning is functioning. Ensure the cylinder is not bottoming out too hard; adjust speed if possible via flow control valves. Check mounting is secure.

Magnetic sensor not detecting position

Ensure the correct type of magnetic switch compatible with this cylinder is used. Check the switch is properly positioned on the cylinder's profile. Verify electrical connections to the switch.

Air leaks detected

Inspect all pneumatic connections for tightness. Check seals and O-rings for damage. Ensure the cylinder body is intact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant space savings due to compact ISO 21287 design.
  • Smooth operation and extended lifespan thanks to elastic cushioning.
  • Easy integration of position sensing with magnetic piston.
  • Reliable performance within specified pressure and temperature limits.
  • Standardized dimensions for broad compatibility.

Cons

  • Smaller M5 pneumatic connection may require adapters for non-standard setups.
  • Lower maximum operating pressure (10 bar) compared to some heavy-duty cylinders.
  • Theoretical force output might be insufficient for extremely high-load applications.
  • Requires separate magnetic switches for position sensing functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pneumatic supply meets the cylinder's requirements (clean, dry air, max 10 bar).
  2. Connect compressed air lines to the appropriate ports for double-acting function. The pneumatic connection is M5.
  3. If position sensing is required, mount compatible Festo magnetic switches (sold separately) onto the cylinder’s profile.
  4. Mount the cylinder securely using appropriate mounting accessories compatible with ISO 21287 standards.

Compatibility:

  • Pneumatic Fittings: M5 threaded fittings are required.
  • Air Quality: Use filtered, lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air conforming to ISO 8573-1.
  • Mounting: Compatible with standard ISO 21287 mounting hardware.
  • Sensors: Compatible with standard magnetic field sensors for position detection.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the cylinder for signs of wear or damage.
  • Ensure air supply remains clean and within operating pressure limits.
  • Avoid exposing the cylinder to excessive moisture, dust, or corrosive environments beyond its specifications (+80°C max temperature).
