ADVUL-16-40-P-A Festo 156857 Compact Cylinder -16mm Bore, 40mm Stroke, Non-Rotating

The Festo ADVUL-16-40-P-A (Part Number: 156857) is a high-precision, heavy-duty double-acting compact cylinder purposefully engineered for automation environments requiring strict orientation stability. Featuring a unique non-rotating design, this actuator integrates an external guide rod and a rigid yoke plate that mechanically anchors the piston rod. This entirely prevents structural twisting or torque distortion when handling asymmetric loads, making it ideal for pinpoint sorting, clamping, and light-assembly tasks.

Built under Festo's classic rugged footprint standard, the ADVUL series utilizes a smooth-anodized wrought aluminum alloy body shell alongside premium TPE-U (PU) and NBR dynamic seals for high efficiency. To handle high operational cycle speeds safely, the internal cylinder incorporates dual-ended elastic cushioning pads to absorb residual kinetic energy and curb acoustic noise. Built-in body tracking slots also facilitate flush-mounted proximity sensor placement.
