Festo ADN-12 Compact Cylinder | 12mm Bore, M5 Port | Murali Pneumatics Coimbatore

Festo ADN-12 Compact Pneumatic Cylinder for Space-Saving Automation

The Festo ADN-12 is a compact pneumatic cylinder from Festo’s ADN series, designed for applications where a short overall length and dependable double-acting movement are required. Based on ISO 21287, this compact cylinder is commonly selected for machine builders who need a reliable actuator in restricted installation spaces. With a 12 mm piston diameter, M5 pneumatic connection, elastic cushioning at both ends, and position sensing via proximity switch, the ADN-12 is suitable for precise industrial automation tasks across packaging, textile-related machinery, battery production, cleanroom systems, and general pneumatic equipment. Murali Pneumatics supplies genuine Festo ADN cylinders in Coimbatore with technical support for correct stroke, mounting, and accessory selection.

Key Features

• 12 mm piston diameter — suitable for compact automation tasks requiring controlled linear motion in limited machine space.
• Stroke range from 1 mm to 300 mm — allows the ADN-12 series to be configured for short-stroke and application-specific movement requirements.
• Double-acting mode of operation — provides powered movement in both advance and return directions.
• ISO 21287-based compact design — helps machine builders maintain standardised compact cylinder layouts.
• Elastic cushioning rings or plates at both ends — reduces impact at end positions for smoother operation.
• Position detection via proximity switch — supports automation feedback when compatible sensors are selected separately.
• M5 pneumatic connection — suitable for compact pneumatic tubing and fitting arrangements.
• Optional mounting position — gives flexibility during machine installation and retrofit work.
• ATEX and UKEX-related certification options — suitable for specified explosive atmosphere zones when the correct variant is selected.
• RoHS-compliant material note — supports compliance requirements in modern industrial procurement.
