Description
Product Overview
The Festo ADVU-40-40-A-P-A is a compact pneumatic cylinder designed to convert compressed-air energy into controlled linear motion. As part of Festo’s ADVU series, it is intended for automation applications where a compact actuator is needed to push, pull, position, or move machine components.
Its double-acting operation uses compressed air to drive the piston in both directions. The 40 mm stroke provides a defined travel distance, while elastic cushioning rings or plates at both ends help reduce impact when the piston reaches its end positions.

Applications
The Festo ADVU-40-40-A-P-A pneumatic cylinder may be used in compatible systems such as:
– Automated assembly machinery
– Material handling and transfer equipment
– Pneumatic clamping and positioning systems
– Packaging and production machinery
– Component feeding mechanisms
– Industrial fixtures and handling systems
– Machine automation and linear actuation
Application suitability depends on the required force, stroke, operating speed, mounting arrangement, and compressed-air supply.
Installation and Compatibility Guidance
Before installation, confirm the required 40 mm stroke, 40 mm bore, operating pressure, piston rod thread, and pneumatic connection. Select suitable mounting hardware and fittings, and check that the cylinder’s force and travel meet the machine’s requirements.
Use clean compressed air within the specified operating range. If position feedback is needed, select compatible proximity sensors and mounting accessories. Secure the actuator correctly and follow Festo’s installation and maintenance instructions.
