Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the theoretical force of the ADNGF-12-5-P-A cylinder?

At a pressure of 6 bar, the theoretical advance force is approximately 68 N.

Does this cylinder require lubrication?

This cylinder can be operated with or without lubrication, but for optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to use lubricated air.

What does 'double-acting' mean for this cylinder?

Double-acting means that compressed air is used to both extend and retract the piston rod, providing controlled motion in both directions.

How do I detect the piston's position?

The cylinder has a magnetic piston, allowing you to use compatible external proximity sensors (sold separately) mounted alongside the cylinder to detect its position.

What standards does this cylinder comply with?

This cylinder is designed according to ISO 21287 standards, ensuring interchangeability and compatibility with other components meeting the same standard.

Can the piston rod rotate?

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

What is the stroke length of this cylinder?

The stroke length of this specific model (ADNGF-12-5-P-A) is 5 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder does not move

Check air supply pressure and connections to both ports. Ensure valves controlling air flow are functioning correctly. Verify there are no obstructions.

Cylinder moves erratically or slowly

Check for air leaks in the system. Ensure the air supply is clean and lubricated if required by the application. Verify correct operating pressure.

Position sensing is unreliable

Ensure the proximity sensor is correctly positioned relative to the magnetic piston. Check sensor type compatibility and adjust sensing distance if applicable. Verify sensor wiring and power supply.

Excessive noise or vibration at end of stroke

Ensure the elastic cushioning rings are present and functioning. Check that the cylinder is properly mounted and aligned. Verify operating speed is within recommended limits for cushioned cylinders.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact design for space-constrained applications
  • Integrated cushioning reduces shock and wear
  • Magnetic piston simplifies position sensing integration
  • Robust construction with guide rod for stability
  • Adheres to international ISO standards

Cons

  • Short 5mm stroke limits travel distance
  • Theoretical force calculation requires specific pressure
  • Requires compatible proximity sensors for full functionality
  • Specific mounting may be needed due to integrated features

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the cylinder securely using appropriate fittings, ensuring alignment with the intended motion path.
  2. Connect compressed air lines to the ports, noting that the cylinder is double-acting and requires air supply to both ports for controlled movement.
  3. If using position sensing, mount a compatible proximity sensor (e.g., Festo magnetic piston sensors) adjacent to the cylinder, adjusting its position to reliably detect the magnetic piston's end-of-stroke positions.

Compatibility:

  • Compressed Air: Clean, dry, and lubricated or non-lubricated air, filtered to at least 40 µm. Maximum operating pressure is typically 10 bar, with a recommended operating pressure of 6 bar for the specified force.
  • Proximity Sensors: Compatible with magnetic piston sensors, such as those conforming to the cylinder's mounting requirements and sensing range.
  • Mounting: Standard mounting options compatible with ISO 21287 standards.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect air connections for leaks.
  • Ensure the air supply remains clean and within recommended pressure ranges.
  • If external sensors are used, check their alignment and function periodically.
  • Avoid exposing the cylinder to abrasive materials or corrosive environments.
