Product Information

Full details

The Festo Compact Cylinder (AEN-S-10-10-I-A) is designed for engineers and maintenance technicians working in space-constrained industrial automation environments who require reliable, small-scale linear motion. Its primary benefit is a high force-to-size ratio, providing 41.7 N of pushing force in a compact, single-part form factor. Users should note that this model lacks integrated cushioning, making it better suited for applications where smooth, non-impact stop profiles are managed externally or at lower speeds.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?

While the performance is rated at 6 bar, please consult the specific technical datasheet for the absolute maximum pressure limits.

Does this cylinder have cushioning?

No, the AEN-S-10-10-I-A model does not feature internal air cushioning.

Can I use this cylinder in a harsh or dusty environment?

It is recommended to protect the rod from debris. If used in a dusty environment, consider a protective bellows or shield.

What type of sensors work with this cylinder?

This cylinder contains a magnetic piston, allowing it to be used with magnetic proximity sensors designed for Festo cylinders.

Is the cylinder repairable?

Due to its compact, single-part construction, it is generally treated as a replacement unit rather than a repairable component.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder fails to reach full stroke

Check air supply pressure and ensure the load is not exceeding the force rating of 41.7 N.

Position sensors not detecting piston

Ensure sensors are correctly aligned with the internal magnetic piston and verify that the sensor type is compatible with Festo magnetic cylinders.

Erratic or jerky motion

Install a flow control valve to regulate the exhaust air and ensure the cylinder is properly lubricated with non-detergent pneumatic oil if the system is not oil-free.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely space-efficient design
  • Lightweight construction minimizes mass on moving parts
  • Integrated magnet supports reliable position monitoring
  • Cost-effective pneumatic solution for small-scale automation

Cons

  • No built-in cushioning
  • Limited to 10 mm stroke length
  • Requires external speed control for heavy loads

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that the air supply is filtered and dry to prevent internal contamination of the cylinder walls. Connect pneumatic tubing to the appropriate ports using compatible fittings suitable for a 10 mm bore size. When mounting, use the designated mounting holes to ensure the cylinder remains square to the load. For positioning sensing, mount compatible magnetic proximity sensors directly to the cylinder housing. Inspect the piston rod periodically for signs of debris or dust buildup, and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth to extend seal life.
