Festo ADN-50-20-A-P-A 536313 Compact Air Cylinder

Compact Air Cylinder for Pneumatic Systems

The Festo ADN-50-20-A-P-A 536313 is a compact air cylinder built for pneumatic automation tasks requiring short-stroke linear motion. It suits machine builders and maintenance engineers integrating actuators into space-constrained assemblies. The red finish aids visual identification during installation and routine checks. This unit is not for applications needing long travel distances or hydraulic power.

Double-Acting Pneumatic Operation Limits

As a double-acting cylinder, it requires pressurised air on both sides to extend and retract the piston. Performance depends on available supply pressure and flow rate, which the spec sheet does not detail. The 20 mm stroke and 50 mm bore define the mechanical envelope, limiting force and speed to this form factor. It cannot function without a compatible valve, tubing and air preparation hardware.

Direct Mounting with Threaded Body

The cylinder body provides threaded mounting for direct installation onto machine frames or brackets. Alignment of the piston rod with the load path is critical; side loading will accelerate seal and bearing wear. Ensure the air supply is filtered and lubricated to specification, as contamination is the most common cause of premature failure. No electrical connections are involved.
