FESTO ADVU-32-30-P-A Compact Cylinder

The FESTO ADVU-32-30-P-A​ is a compact double-acting cylinder​ from the ADVU series, featuring 32mm bore diameter​ and 30mm stroke. This pneumatic cylinder is designed for industrial automation applications requiring reliable linear motion with end-position damping. With elastic cushioning (P) and female thread piston rod configuration, it provides smooth operation and easy mounting for medium-duty applications.

Key Features

• Compact Design:​ Space-efficient footprint suitable for various mounting configurations

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

• Female Thread Piston Rod:​ Standard female thread for mounting accessories

• Elastic Cushioning:​ P-type cushioning rings/plates at both ends for smooth end-position damping

• Position Sensing Compatible:​ Supports proximity sensor installation for position detection

• Wide Operating Pressure:​ 1-10 bar operating range for flexible use

Technical Specifications

Model Number Decoding (ADVU-32-30-P-A)

• ADVU:​ Series designation (Compact Cylinder Series, double-acting)

• 32:​ Bore diameter (32 mm)

• 30:​ Stroke length (30 mm)

• P:​ Cushioning type (P = elastic cushioning rings/plates)

• A:​ Position sensing capability (A = compatible with proximity sensors)

Note:​ The absence of piston rod type designation (A/I) in this position indicates this model has female thread piston rod configuration.

Key Differences from Similar Models

Compared to other ADVU series cylinders:

• ADVU-32-30-P-A:​ 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, female thread, elastic cushioning (this model)

• ADVU-32-30-A-P-A:​ Same bore/stroke but with male thread piston rod

• ADVU-32-50-P-A:​ Same bore but 50mm stroke

• ADVU-40-30-P-A:​ 40mm bore with same stroke

• ADVU-32-30-P-A-S6:​ Same specifications but with heat-resistant seals (max 120°C)

The 30mm stroke​ and female thread configuration​ make this model suitable for applications requiring moderate travel with female-thread mounting accessories.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation:​ Part positioning and transfer in assembly lines

• Clamping Devices:​ Workpiece clamping in machining and welding fixtures

• Valve Actuation:​ Operating valves in process control systems

• Material Handling:​ Product positioning and sorting mechanisms

• Packaging Machinery:​ Ejection and positioning operations

• Testing Equipment:​ Linear actuation in test stands

• General Automation:​ Medium-duty linear motion applications

Important Selection & Installation Notes

1. Stroke Consideration:​ The 30mm stroke provides moderate travel distance. Ensure this meets your application's movement requirements. For longer or shorter strokes, select appropriate models.

2. Piston Rod Thread:​ This model has female thread configuration. If you need male thread for direct mounting, select "A" type models (e.g., ADVU-32-30-A-P-A).

3. Cushioning Performance:​ P-type elastic cushioning provides end-position damping. For applications with high speeds or heavy loads, ensure cushioning is properly adjusted.

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 ADVU models) if position sensing is required.

8. Force Requirements:​ With 483N maximum force at 6 bar, this cylinder is suitable for medium-duty applications. For higher force requirements, select larger bore sizes.

9. Maintenance:​ Regular inspection of seals is recommended. Check for air leaks and proper cushioning performance periodically.
