FESTO ADN-S-10-5-A Compact Cylinder | 10mm Bore, 5mm Stroke, Double-Acting Specs

FESTO ADN-S-10-5-A compact cylinder specifications. 10mm bore, 5mm stroke, double-acting, no cushioning, external thread piston rod. For precision automation applications.

FESTO ADN-S-10-5-A Compact Cylinder

The FESTO ADN-S-10-5-A​ is a compact double-acting cylinder​ from the ADN-S series, featuring 10mm bore diameter​ and 5mm stroke. This compact pneumatic cylinder is designed for space-constrained automation applications requiring short-stroke linear motion. With no cushioning and external thread piston rod configuration, it provides a cost-effective solution for light-duty positioning and actuation tasks.

Key Features

• Compact Design:​ Small footprint ideal for tight installation spaces

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

• External Thread Piston Rod:​ Standard M5x0.8 thread for easy mounting

• No Cushioning:​ Basic configuration without end-position damping

• Lightweight Construction:​ Aluminum housing suitable for precision applications

• Wide Operating Pressure:​ 1-8 bar operating range for flexible use

Technical Specifications

Model Number Decoding (ADN-S-10-5-A)

• ADN-S:​ Series designation (Compact Cylinder Series, short version)

• 10:​ Bore diameter (10 mm)

• 5:​ Stroke length (5 mm)

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

• No suffix:​ Indicates no cushioning and standard configuration

Note:​ The absence of cushioning designation (P, PPS, etc.) in the model number indicates this is a basic version without end-position damping.

Key Differences from Similar Models

Compared to other ADN-S series cylinders:

• ADN-S-10-5-A:​ 10mm bore, 5mm stroke, no cushioning, external thread (this model)

• ADN-S-10-5-A-P:​ Same bore/stroke but with elastic cushioning

• ADN-S-10-5-I:​ Same specifications but with internal thread piston rod

• ADN-S-10-10-A:​ Same bore but 10mm stroke

• ADN-S-16-5-A:​ 16mm bore with same stroke

The 5mm stroke​ and no cushioning​ make this model suitable for applications requiring very short, precise movements without the need for end-position damping.

Typical Applications

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

• Clamping Devices:​ Light-duty workpiece clamping in fixtures

• Valve Actuation:​ Operating small valves in control systems

• Electronics Assembly:​ Component insertion and placement operations

• Medical Equipment:​ Precise linear motion in medical devices

• Testing Equipment:​ Positioning in small test stands

• Light-Duty Actuation:​ General-purpose linear motion where damping is not required

Important Selection & Installation Notes

1. Stroke Consideration:​ The 5mm stroke is very short. Ensure this meets your application's movement requirements. For longer strokes, select appropriate models.

2. No Cushioning:​ This model has no end-position damping. For applications with high speeds or heavy loads, consider models with cushioning (P or PPS) to reduce impact and noise.

3. Operating Pressure:​ Do not exceed 8 bar maximum operating pressure. For optimal performance, operate between 4-6 bar.

4. 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.

5. Mounting:​ Ensure proper alignment during installation to avoid side loads, which can reduce seal life.

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

7. Light-Duty Applications:​ With 47N maximum force at 6 bar, this cylinder is suitable for light-duty applications only. For higher force requirements, select larger bore sizes.

8. Maintenance:​ Regular inspection of seals is recommended. Check for air leaks and proper operation periodically.
