Product Information

Full details

This Festo ADNGF-20-10-P-A compact air cylinder is designed for automated systems requiring precise linear motion control and position sensing. It offers a reliable 20mm bore and 10mm stroke, delivering consistent force for gripping, clamping, or positioning tasks. A key benefit is its integrated magnetic piston for seamless proximity sensor integration, though its compact size might limit its suitability for very heavy-duty applications requiring extensive force.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the theoretical force of this cylinder?

The theoretical advance force is 188 N at 6 bar operating pressure. Retraction force will be lower due to the piston rod area.

What type of pneumatic connection does it use?

It uses an M5 pneumatic connection.

Can this cylinder be used without a position sensor?

Yes, the cylinder will function mechanically without a sensor. However, to detect its position, a compatible proximity sensor must be used with the magnetic piston.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The cylinder can operate between -20°C and +80°C.

Is the piston rod guided to prevent rotation?

Yes, it incorporates a guide rod and yoke plate to secure the piston rod against rotation.

What ISO standard does this cylinder comply with?

It complies with the ISO 21287 standard.

What is the stroke length?

The stroke length is 10 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder not extending or retracting.

Check pneumatic supply pressure and connections. Ensure valves are functioning correctly. Verify no blockages in air lines.

Slow or weak movement.

Verify air pressure is within the recommended range. Check for air leaks. Ensure the load is not exceeding the cylinder's force capacity.

Position sensor not detecting piston.

Ensure the sensor is correctly positioned in the cylinder's groove. Verify the sensor type is compatible with magnetic pistons. Check sensor wiring and power supply.

Excessive noise or vibration at end of stroke.

Ensure elastic cushioning is intact and functioning. Check if the cylinder is properly mounted and secured. Reduce operating speed if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Conforms to ISO 21287 standards for interchangeability.
  • Integrated magnetic piston simplifies sensor mounting and improves position accuracy.
  • Non-rotating piston rod design enhances stability and load handling.
  • Elastic cushioning reduces impact and extends service life.
  • Compact form factor ideal for tight spaces in automated machinery.

Cons

  • 10mm stroke may be insufficient for applications requiring longer linear travel.
  • Theoretical force of 188 N at 6 bar limits its use in very high-force applications.
  • Requires a separate proximity sensor for position detection.
  • May require precise alignment to prevent premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pneumatic supply is clean and dry, within the operating pressure range of 10 bar maximum.
  2. Connect pneumatic lines to the M5 port.
  3. Mount the cylinder securely, ensuring alignment to prevent side-loading.
  4. If using position sensing, attach a compatible proximity sensor to the cylinder's groove, ensuring it detects the magnetic piston's position.

Compatibility:

  • Pneumatic Fittings: Requires M5 fittings.
  • Proximity Sensors: Compatible with magnetic piston sensors (e.g., Festo SMT/SME series or equivalent).
  • Mounting: Standard ISO 21287 mounting options apply.
  • Standards: Conforms to ISO 21287 and VDMA 24364-B1/B2-L.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect for leaks in pneumatic connections.
  • Ensure operating environment remains within the -20°C to +80°C temperature range.
  • Keep the cylinder free from excessive dust and debris.
  • While designed for durability, avoid exceeding the maximum operating pressure or applying excessive side loads to the piston rod.
