Product Information

Full details

This Festo compact cylinder (model ADN-40-80-I-P-A) is ideal for automation engineers and machine builders seeking space-saving pneumatic actuation. Its key benefit is providing robust performance in a significantly smaller footprint than traditional cylinders, up to 50% less installation space. A potential caveat is its specific pneumatic connection (G 1/8) which requires compatible fittings. This double-acting cylinder features a 40mm bore and 80mm stroke, elastic cushioning, magnetic piston for sensing, and operates up to 10 bar.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this cylinder?

The primary advantage is its compact design, offering up to 50% space savings compared to cylinders built to ISO 15552 standards, making it ideal for applications with limited installation space.

What pneumatic connection size does it use?

The cylinder uses a G 1/8 pneumatic connection size.

Can I use this cylinder without position sensing?

Yes, you can operate the cylinder without position sensing. However, its magnetic piston is designed to easily integrate with standard magnetic sensors for position feedback if needed.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The maximum operating pressure for this cylinder is 10 bar.

Does this cylinder require lubrication?

While it can operate without lubrication, using clean, lubricated compressed air is recommended for optimal performance, extended service life, and reduced wear, especially in high-cycle applications.

What is the theoretical force output when advancing?

At an operating pressure of 6 bar, the theoretical advance force is 754 N.

What is the stroke length and bore diameter?

The cylinder has a stroke length of 80 mm and a piston bore diameter of 40 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder not extending or retracting fully

Check air supply pressure and flow. Ensure pneumatic lines are not kinked or blocked. Verify correct valve operation. Check for internal obstructions or damage.

Excessive noise or vibration during operation

Ensure elastic cushioning is functioning correctly. If worn, the cylinder may need replacement. Check if operating speed is too high for the cushioning capacity. Verify mounting is secure.

Inconsistent position sensing

Verify the magnetic sensor is correctly positioned and aligned with the magnetic piston. Check sensor wiring and settings. Ensure no strong external magnetic fields are interfering.

Air leaks from the cylinder

Inspect seals and end caps for damage. Tighten pneumatic connections. If leaks persist, internal seals may be compromised and the cylinder may require service or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant space savings compared to larger ISO standards.
  • Durable construction with elastic cushioning for extended lifespan.
  • Integrated magnetic piston simplifies position sensing.
  • Reliable double-acting pneumatic control.
  • Wide operating temperature range for diverse environments.

Cons

  • Specific pneumatic connection (G 1/8) may require adapters.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme forces beyond its rating.
  • Requires clean, lubricated compressed air for optimal performance.
  • Piston rod thread is female, which may limit certain mounting options.
  • Force output is theoretical and depends on actual operating pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the compressed air supply is clean, dry, and within the specified pressure range (max 10 bar).
  2. Connect appropriate pneumatic tubing to the G 1/8 port. Use fittings compatible with your chosen tubing material and size.
  3. Mount the cylinder securely using appropriate brackets that match its profile and dimensions.
  4. Connect pneumatic control lines to achieve the desired double-acting function.
  5. Install magnetic sensors (if used) aligned with the cylinder's stroke path for position detection.

Compatibility:

  • Pneumatic Fittings: Requires fittings for G 1/8 pneumatic connections. Ensure tubing material compatibility.
  • Sensors: Compatible with standard magnetic field sensors for position monitoring.
  • Mounting: Standard ISO 21287 mounting accessories are generally compatible.
  • Air Quality: Requires filtered and potentially lubricated compressed air for optimal performance and longevity, especially in demanding applications.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the cylinder for leaks or physical damage.
  • Ensure the air supply remains clean and free of contaminants. Consider using an air preparation unit (filter, regulator, lubricator).
  • Avoid exceeding the maximum operating pressure (10 bar) or temperature limits (+80°C, -20°C).
  • Clean the exterior of the cylinder with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents.
