Festo ADVU-50-10-P-A Compact Cylinder 50mm Bore 10mm Stroke Double Acting

Overview
The Festo ADVU-50-10-P-A (part number 156550) is a high-performance double-acting compact cylinder from the ADVU series, designed for precise linear motion in industrial automation applications requiring a space-saving design. This profile cylinder conforms to ISO 21287, offering up to 50% less installation space compared to standard cylinders to ISO 15552.

With a 50 mm piston diameter and 10 mm stroke, this cylinder delivers a theoretical force of 1178 N advancing and 1057 N retracting at 6 bar. It features G1/8 pneumatic connection and an M8 female piston rod thread, enabling easy integration into a wide range of pneumatic systems.

The ADVU-50-10-P-A is equipped with elastic cushioning rings/plates at both ends (P cushioning), which reduce impact energy at the end of the stroke, minimizing noise and mechanical stress for extended service life. A magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing via proximity switches mounted along the cylinder body.

The cylinder barrel and covers are manufactured from wrought aluminium alloy, while the piston rod is constructed from high-alloy steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance (CRC 2 – Moderate corrosion stress) and durability in demanding industrial environments. The cylinder operates over a wide pressure range of 0.8 to 10 bar and a temperature range of -20 °C to +80 °C, making it suitable for diverse industrial environments.

Key Features

• Double-Acting Operation – Provides powered motion in both directions for precise control over extend and retract strokes.

• ISO 21287 Compliant – Conforms to international standards, offering up to 50% less installation space than comparable ISO 15552 cylinders.
