Product Information

Full details

This guide is for engineers and technicians working with pneumatic automation systems. The Festo ADNGF compact cylinder offers a reliable and durable solution for precise linear motion, featuring self-adjusting cushioning and compatibility with position sensors. A potential consideration is its specific stroke length, which may require careful integration into systems needing longer travel.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the theoretical force of this cylinder?

At 6 bar of air pressure, the cylinder delivers a theoretical advance force of 483 N.

What does 'self-adjusting pneumatic end-position cushioning' mean?

It means the cylinder automatically adjusts the cushioning effect at the end of its stroke based on the speed and load, providing a smoother stop without manual adjustment.

Can I use this cylinder without position sensors?

Yes, the cylinder will function mechanically without sensors. However, you will not have electronic feedback on the piston's position.

What is the standard for this cylinder?

This cylinder adheres to the ISO 21287 standard, which specifies dimensions and performance for compact cylinders.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

Refer to the official Festo datasheet for the precise operating temperature range, but typically these cylinders operate between -20°C and +80°C, depending on the seal material.

How do I prevent piston rod rotation?

The ADNGF series features an integrated design with a guide rod and yoke plate that inherently prevents piston rod rotation during operation. Ensure the cylinder is mounted correctly to allow this feature to function.

What size fittings do I need?

The port size depends on the specific model variant, but typically for a 32mm bore cylinder, G1/4 or similar pneumatic fittings are common. Consult the product datasheet for exact specifications.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder not extending or retracting

Check air supply pressure and connections. Ensure valves are functioning correctly and directing air to the appropriate ports.

Cylinder moves erratically or slowly

Verify air pressure is adequate. Check for air leaks in the lines or cylinder seals. Ensure the load does not exceed the cylinder's capacity at the given pressure.

Noise or harsh impact at end of stroke

The self-adjusting cushioning should handle this; however, if excessive noise persists, verify the air pressure is not too high or that the cushioning adjustment (if applicable via external valves) is set correctly.

Position sensor not detecting piston

Ensure the correct type of sensor compatible with magnetic pistons is used. Check sensor alignment with the piston's path. Verify sensor wiring and power supply.

Piston rod appears to be rotating

Confirm the load is applied axially and that there are no external torsional forces. The internal anti-rotation feature is robust, but extreme side loads can challenge it. Ensure proper mounting alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact design fits well in space-constrained applications.
  • Self-adjusting cushioning reduces maintenance and extends product life.
  • Integrated rotation prevention ensures precise linear motion.
  • Magnetic piston allows for robust position detection.
  • Adheres to ISO 21287 standards for broad compatibility.

Cons

  • Limited 10mm stroke may not be suitable for all applications.
  • Theoretical force rating requires precise air pressure for optimal performance.
  • Requires compatible proximity sensors for position feedback, adding to system complexity.
  • Compact size might limit the maximum load capacity compared to larger cylinders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the air supply is clean and dry.
  2. Connect pneumatic lines to the ports, observing the required flow direction for double-acting operation.
  3. If using position sensing, mount compatible proximity sensors according to their manufacturer's instructions and align them with the magnetic piston's travel path.
  4. Adjust air pressure as needed for your application, not exceeding the cylinder's maximum rated pressure.

Compatibility:

  • This cylinder is designed to the ISO 21287 standard, ensuring compatibility with mounting accessories and fittings that adhere to the same standard.
  • Requires pneumatic fittings appropriate for the port size and pressure range.
  • Compatible with Festo proximity sensors (e.g., SME/SMT series) or other sensors designed for magnetic piston detection.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect pneumatic connections for leaks.
  • Ensure the air supply is properly filtered and lubricated (if required by your system's overall design, though Festo often recommends non-lubricated air for these cylinders).
  • Keep the cylinder body clean and free from debris.
  • Do not exceed the specified operating pressure or temperature limits.
