ADVU-40-40-P-A

What type of actuator is this?

It is a compact, double-acting pneumatic cylinder designed to deliver linear motion in space-restricted installations.

What are the bore size and stroke length?

The cylinder has a 40 mm piston diameter (bore) and a 40 mm stroke.

Is it single-acting or double-acting?

It is double-acting, meaning compressed air is used for both extending and retracting the piston.

What operating pressure range does it support?

The operating pressure range is 0.08 to 1.0 MPa (0.8 to 10 bar).

What pneumatic port size does it use?

The pneumatic connection is G1/8.

Does it include end-position cushioning?

Yes. It uses elastic cushioning rings/pads at both end positions to help reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Can it be mounted in any orientation?

Yes. It is specified for mounting in any position.

Is the cylinder prepared for position sensing?

Yes. It is designed for use with a proximity sensor for position sensing (sensor and mounting method depend on the application setup).

What is the piston rod end style?

The piston rod end is an internal thread, which allows direct attachment of suitable fixtures or adaptors.

What compressed air quality is recommended?

It is intended for compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010, class [7:4:4].

Can it be operated with lubricated air?

Yes. Operation with oil lubrication is possible; if lubrication is used, it should be continued consistently for ongoing operation.

What ambient temperature range is it rated for?

The specified ambient temperature range is -20 °C to +80 °C.

What force can it produce at 6 bar?

Theoretical force at 6 bar is approximately 754 N advancing and 686 N retracting (actual force depends on friction, load, and application conditions).

What materials are used for the main components?

Key materials include a high-alloy steel piston rod and a wrought aluminium alloy cylinder barrel/cover. Dynamic seals are NBR and TPE-U (PU).

What corrosion resistance level is specified?

It is rated as corrosion resistance class (CRC) 2, suitable for moderate corrosion stress.

What is the approximate weight of the cylinder?

The basic weight is listed as 433 g at 0 mm stroke, with an additional 59 g per 10 mm stroke. For the 40 mm stroke version, this is approximately ``433 g + (4 × 59 g) = 669 g`` (approx.).

What does the suffix “P-A” indicate in practical terms?

In this configuration, it indicates a variant prepared for position sensing (proximity sensor use) and a specific series configuration. If you need like-for-like replacement, matching the full ordering code (e.g., Festo ADVU-40-40-P-A) is recommended.
