FESTO ADN-63-10-A-PPS-A Compact Cylinder | ISO 21287, 63mm Bore, 10mm Stroke Specs

FESTO ADN-63-10-A-PPS-A compact cylinder specifications. 63mm bore, 10mm stroke, double-acting, self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning, ISO 21287 standard. For industrial automation applications.

FESTO ADN-63-10-A-PPS-A Compact Cylinder

The FESTO ADN-63-10-A-PPS-A​ is a compact double-acting cylinder​ from the ADN series, featuring 63mm bore diameter​ and 10mm stroke. This ISO 21287 standard cylinder is designed with self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning (PPS) and external thread piston rod, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial automation applications requiring precise linear motion with reliable end-position damping.

Key Features

• Compact Design:​ ISO 21287 standard with 50% space reduction compared to ISO 15552 cylinders

• Self-Adjusting Cushioning:​ PPS pneumatic cushioning automatically adapts to load and speed conditions

• Double-Acting Operation:​ Provides force in both extension and retraction directions

• External Thread Piston Rod:​ Standard M10x1.25 thread for easy mounting

• Robust Construction:​ Aluminum housing with corrosion-resistant surface treatment

• Wide Application Range:​ Suitable for various industrial automation and handling applications

Technical Specifications

Model Number Decoding (ADN-63-10-A-PPS-A)

• ADN:​ Series designation (Compact Cylinder Series)

• 63:​ Bore diameter (63 mm)

• 10:​ Stroke length (10 mm)

• A:​ Piston rod type (A = external thread)

• PPS:​ Cushioning type (PPS = self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning, both ends)

• A:​ Additional options (A = standard configuration)

Key Differences from Similar Models

Compared to other ADN series cylinders:

• ADN-63-10-A-PPS-A:​ 63mm bore, 10mm stroke, external thread, PPS cushioning (this model)

• ADN-63-10-I-PPS-A:​ Same specifications but with internal thread piston rod

• ADN-63-10-A-P-A:​ Same bore/stroke but with elastic cushioning instead of PPS

• ADN-63-25-A-PPS-A:​ Same bore but 25mm stroke

• ADN-40-10-A-PPS-A:​ 40mm bore with same stroke and features

The 10mm stroke​ makes this model suitable for applications requiring very short linear movements, while the PPS cushioning​ provides optimal damping for high-speed or heavy-load applications.

Typical Applications

• Precision Positioning:​ Short-stroke positioning in assembly automation

• Clamping Devices:​ Workpiece clamping and fixturing in machining centers

• Valve Actuation:​ Actuating small valves in process control systems

• Material Handling:​ Short-distance part transfer in automated lines

• Packaging Machinery:​ Product positioning and ejection mechanisms

• Electronics Assembly:​ Component insertion and placement operations

• Medical Equipment:​ Precise linear motion in medical devices

Important Selection & Installation Notes

1. Stroke Selection:​ The 10mm stroke is very short. Ensure this meets your application's movement requirements. For longer strokes, consider other models (e.g., ADN-63-25-A-PPS-A for 25mm stroke).

2. Piston Rod Type:​ The "A" designation indicates external thread (male thread). If you need internal thread (female thread) for mounting, select "I" type models (e.g., ADN-63-10-I-PPS-A).

3. Cushioning Performance:​ PPS cushioning automatically adjusts based on load and speed. For applications with varying loads or high speeds, this provides better protection than fixed cushioning.

4. Operating Pressure:​ Do not exceed 10 bar maximum operating pressure. For optimal performance and longevity, operate between 4-6 bar.

5. Air Quality:​ Use filtered, lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. If using lubricated air, maintain consistent lubrication.

6. Mounting:​ Ensure proper alignment during installation to avoid side loads, which can reduce seal life and cause premature failure.

7. Position Sensing:​ This model is compatible with proximity sensors for position detection. Ensure the piston has a magnetic ring (standard on most ADN models) if position sensing is required.

8. Maintenance:​ Regular inspection of seals and lubrication (if applicable) is recommended. Check for air leaks and proper cushioning performance periodically.
