Festo ADVU-40-10-P-A Compact Cylinder 10 mm stroke electrician tool

Compact cylinder for short-stroke automation

The Festo ADVU-40-10-P-A is a compact pneumatic cylinder with a 10 mm stroke and 40 mm bore. It suits machine builders and maintenance engineers who need precise linear motion in tight spaces. The unit is supplied new in a single pack under part number 156541. Its short travel makes it ideal for clamping, ejecting or positioning tasks.

Pneumatic interface limits force and speed

The cylinder operates on compressed air, so output force and cycle speed depend directly on supply pressure and flow capacity. A 10 mm stroke restricts total displacement, limiting the work piece travel to that exact distance. Side loads on the piston rod reduce seal life and must be avoided through proper alignment. Operating outside the rated pressure range will cause premature wear or failure.

Direct mounting simplifies installation

The compact body allows direct mounting on machine frames without additional brackets in many cases. The 40 mm bore provides standard mounting hole patterns for secure attachment. Ensure the air supply is filtered and lubricated to prevent contamination of internal seals. Misalignment during fitting is the most common cause of rod seal leakage and reduced service life.
