Festo ADN-12-10-A-P-A – Compact Cylinder | Bore 12mm, Stroke 10mm | Murali Pneumatics Coimbatore

About the Festo ADN-12-10-A-P-A Compact Cylinder

The Festo ADN-12-10-A-P-A is a space-saving, double-acting compact cylinder from Festo's well-established ADN series, manufactured in conformance with ISO 21287. With a 12 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, this unit is built for installations where envelope size is critical but reliable actuation cannot be compromised. The anodised aluminium barrel, high-alloy steel piston rod, and TPE-U seals make it a durable choice across a wide range of industrial environments — including those with moderate corrosion exposure or cleanroom requirements up to ISO Class 5. What sets the ADN series apart is the combination of compact form factor, ISO-standardised interface dimensions, and readiness for proximity-switch-based position detection — all in a unit light enough (76 g) to suit even high-cycle, weight-sensitive automation cells. Whether you are retrofitting an existing machine or engineering a new assembly station, the ADN-12-10-A-P-A fits without compromise.

Key Features

• ISO 21287 Compliant — Interchangeable with other ISO-standard compact cylinders; simplifies cross-brand replacement and future-proofs your installation.
• Double-Acting Operation — Positive force on both advance and return strokes; advance force 68 N and return force 51 N at 6 bar — suitable for clamping, pushing, and indexing tasks.
• Elastic End-Position Cushioning — Cushioning rings at both ends absorb impact energy (0.07 J), reducing mechanical noise and extending cylinder service life in high-cycle applications.
• Proximity Switch Compatibility — T-slot or groove-mounted sensors can be fitted for end-position feedback, enabling PLC-controlled sequencing without external limit switches.
• Anodised Aluminium Barrel — Smooth-anodised wrought aluminium resists corrosion (CRC 2), reduces friction, and maintains dimensional stability across the full operating temperature range.
• High-Alloy Steel Piston Rod — Offers superior resistance to bending and surface wear; critical for radial-load scenarios in compact installations.
• M5 Pneumatic Connection — Standard M5 threaded ports match readily available push-in fittings and sub-base mounted valves used across most small-bore pneumatic circuits.
• Flexible Mounting — Supports through-hole mounting, female thread mounting, and accessory-based mounting — adaptable to machine frames of varying geometry.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated from -20 °C to +80 °C ambient; reliable in both cold-store environments and heated process areas.
• LABS/PWIS Conformity & ISO Class 5 Cleanroom Rated — VDMA24364-B1/B2-L compliant and verified for cleanroom use per ISO 14644-14, making it suitable for pharmaceutical and electronics assembly.

Common Applications

• Packaging Machinery — Compact stroke requirements for label applicators, pick-and-place fingers, and small-format pouch sealing jaws on VFFS and HFFS lines.
• Textile Machine Automation — Thread-tensioner actuation and shuttle-positioning mechanisms in weaving and spinning frames common across Coimbatore's textile belt.
• CNC and Machine Tool Clamping — Low-profile work-holding and part-ejection sub-assemblies where cylinder envelope must stay within the machine casting envelope.
• Pharmaceutical and Cleanroom Assembly — ISO Class 5 rating makes this cylinder suitable for blister packaging, vial handling, and sterile-area automation requiring low particle emission.
• Electronics and PCB Handling — Fine-pitch component pressing, board-stop actuation, and tray indexing on SMT and THT assembly lines.
• Plastic Injection Moulding Peripheral Automation — Gate-cutting, part-deflection, and conveyor-diverter actuators on moulding machine outfeed systems.
