Festo Compact Cylinder - 12mm Bore 30mm Stroke

The primary advantage is its significantly reduced installation space requirement, up to 50% less than standard ISO 15552 cylinders, making it ideal for applications with limited room.

The maximum operating pressure for this cylinder is 10 bar.

With a 12mm bore, this cylinder is designed for lighter-duty applications. Its theoretical advance force at 6 bar is 68 N, which is suitable for precise positioning, light clamping, or small part handling, but not for heavy loads.

This cylinder is designed for non-lubricated air operation as a standard feature.

The magnetic piston allows for non-contact position sensing using compatible proximity switches. This enables accurate detection of the cylinder's position within an automated system.

It complies with the ISO 21287 standard for compact cylinders.

The stroke length of this specific model (ADN-12-30-A-P-A) is 30 mm.

Check air supply pressure and connections. Verify that pneumatic lines are not kinked or blocked. Ensure the control valve is functioning correctly and sending the appropriate signal.

Inspect air supply for contamination or moisture. Clean or replace air filters. Check for obstructions in the cylinder's path or binding of the piston rod. Ensure cushioning is not set too high if adjustable (this model uses fixed elastic cushioning).

Inspect cylinder seals for damage or wear. If leaks persist, the cylinder may require replacement.

Verify proximity switch is correctly installed and aligned with the magnetic piston's path. Check the wiring and signal output of the proximity switch and its connection to the control system.
