ADVU CYLINDER

The Festo ADVU is a type of compact pneumatic cylinder renowned for its space-saving design and short installation length. It's a double-acting cylinder, meaning it uses compressed air for both the extension and retraction of the piston rod. Key features include an optimized bore-to-length ratio and often adjustable end-position cushioning to ensure smooth, low-noise operation. Its construction typically involves an aluminum profile barrel and high-quality seals. Key Takeaways Type: Compact pneumatic cylinder (often referred to as a "flat cylinder"). Action: Double-acting. Advantage: Extremely short design and minimal installation space. Use: Ideal for applications with limited mounting space where short stroke lengths and precise movement are required, such as clamping, lifting, or stopping tasks in automation and handling systems.
