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

Festo ADN-12-5-I-P-A – ISO 21287 Compact Cylinder, Bore 12mm × Stroke 5mm

The Festo ADN-12-5-I-P-A is a short-stroke compact cylinder from Festo's ADN series, designed and manufactured to ISO 21287 — the international standard for compact pneumatic cylinders. With a 12mm bore and 5mm stroke, this is one of the smallest working members in the ADN range, purpose-built for applications where installation envelope is critical and force density matters. The series is well established in precision automation because of its consistent build quality, clean profile, and broad compatibility with Festo's standard accessory ecosystem.

Key Features

• ISO 21287 Compliant Design — Interchangeable with other ISO 21287 compact cylinders; simplifies replacement and cross-brand standardisation on machine builds.
• Double-Acting Operation — Powered stroke in both directions; provides controlled force and speed on advance and return, unlike spring-return units.
• Female Thread Piston Rod End (M3) — Internal M3 thread at the rod tip allows direct bolt-on attachment of tooling, brackets, or custom end-effectors without separate adapters.
• Elastic Cushioning at Both Ends — Integrated cushioning rings/plates absorb end-of-stroke impact energy (0.07 J rated), reducing noise and mechanical shock on high-cycle applications.
• Cleanroom Class 5 (ISO 14644-1) — Tested and certified suitable for ISO Class 5 cleanroom environments; appropriate for pharmaceutical filling, electronics assembly, and food packaging lines.
• LABS/PWIS Conformity – VDMA 24364-B1/B2-L — Low emission of paint-wetting impairment substances; cleared for use near painted surfaces in automotive and body-shop automation.
• Proximity Switch Compatible — T-slot profile supports standard Festo proximity switches for position feedback without additional sensor mounts or brackets.
• Flexible Mounting Options — Through-hole, female thread, and accessory-based mounting options allow integration into virtually any machine frame orientation.
• Any Mounting Position — No orientation restriction; can be mounted horizontal, vertical, or at any angle without performance impact.
• RoHS Compliant Materials — All materials meet RoHS directive requirements; suitable for export machinery and CE-marked machine assemblies.
