Product Information

Full details

The Festo ADNGF-16-5-P-A is an ideal solution for engineers and technicians requiring precise linear actuation in space-constrained industrial automation environments. This compact, double-acting cylinder excels in tasks demanding high force-to-size ratios and anti-rotation stability, though it is specifically optimized for short-stroke applications of 5mm, which may limit its utility in processes requiring significant travel distance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the bore diameter of this model?

The ADNGF-16-5-P-A features a 16 mm bore diameter.

Can this cylinder be used without proximity sensors?

Yes, the proximity sensors are optional and only required if you need electronic feedback on the cylinder's position.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The maximum operating pressure for this unit is 10 bar.

Is the cushioning adjustable?

No, this model uses fixed elastic cushioning rings, which provide non-adjustable impact absorption.

Does this cylinder rotate during operation?

No, the integrated guide rod and yoke plate are specifically designed to prevent piston rod rotation.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder fails to reach full stroke

Check for physical obstructions near the yoke plate or insufficient air pressure in the supply line.

Position sensors not triggering

Verify the sensor is positioned correctly along the cylinder body and check that the internal magnet is functional.

Air leakage around the piston rod

Inspect the rod seals for wear or damage; the unit may require a seal kit replacement if the environment is heavily contaminated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact design saves valuable space in machine assembly
  • Integrated guide rod provides excellent protection against twisting
  • Reliable position sensing via magnetic piston
  • Smooth operation due to built-in elastic cushioning
  • High operating pressure capacity for heavy-duty tasks

Cons

  • Fixed 5mm stroke limits application flexibility
  • Requires external proximity sensors for position feedback
  • Not suitable for heavy side-loading beyond specified limits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Mount the cylinder using the provided mounting holes on the housing. Ensure the load is attached securely to the yoke plate to take advantage of the integrated guidance. For position detection, install compatible Festo proximity switches along the cylinder body, adjusting them until the sensor LED confirms the end positions. When connecting pneumatic lines, use high-quality tubing and ensure the fittings are tightened to manufacturer specifications to prevent leaks. To extend the life of the unit, ensure the compressed air is filtered and free of excess moisture. While the cylinder is maintenance-friendly, periodically check the yoke plate for signs of debris buildup that could obstruct the smooth movement of the guide rods.
