Festo ADN-12-5-A-P-A – Compact Cylinder | Bore 12mm, Stroke 5mm | Murali Pneumatics Coimbatore

Festo ADN-12-5-A-P-A Compact Pneumatic Cylinder

The Festo ADN-12-5-A-P-A is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the ADN series, designed for short-stroke linear movement where installation space is limited. With a 12 mm piston diameter and 5 mm stroke, this cylinder is suitable for precise clamping, pushing, positioning, and small automation movements in compact machine layouts. The ADN series is based on ISO 21287 and is widely used where a shorter cylinder body is preferred compared to standard round cylinders. This model is suitable for industries such as food and packaging, battery cell production, cleanroom machinery, mining and metals, and selected ATEX zone applications when used according to the machine design requirements.

Key Features

• Compact ADN series design — useful where machine space is limited and a short cylinder body is required.
• 12 mm piston diameter — provides compact force output for small automation and handling tasks.
• 5 mm stroke length — suitable for short pushing, clamping, stopping, and indexing movements.
• Double-acting operation — controlled advance and return movement using compressed air.
• Elastic cushioning rings at both ends — helps reduce impact at end positions in short-stroke operation.
• M5 pneumatic connection — suitable for compact pneumatic tubing and fittings used in small machine assemblies.
• Position detection via proximity switch — allows sensor-based feedback when compatible proximity switches are fitted separately.
• ISO 21287 based design — supports standard compact cylinder replacement and machine integration.
• Cleanroom suitability Class 5 — suitable for clean production environments when installed correctly.
• RoHS-compliant materials — suitable for modern industrial machine building requirements.
