The Festo ADN-16-10-I-P-A is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder built to ISO 21287, offering a 16mm bore and 10mm stroke in a slim, space-saving envelope. It features a female thread piston-rod end, elastic cushioning at both ends, and is compatible with standard Festo proximity switches for position detection — making it well-suited for close-tolerance automation where mounting space is tight. This cylinder performs reliably in packaging, food processing, and precision assembly applications where compact actuation with clean-room capability (ISO Class 5) is required. Festo Part Number: 536227. Available with Murali Pneumatics, your authorized Festo dealer in Coimbatore.
Note: This cylinder is supplied as a base mechanical unit. Proximity switches/sensors for position detection and mounting accessories must be ordered separately.
The Festo ADN-16-10-I-P-A belongs to the ADN series of compact pneumatic cylinders designed and manufactured to ISO 21287. With a 16mm bore and a 10mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder delivers precise, short-travel actuation in a minimal footprint — making it one of the go-to choices wherever standard cylinders simply will not fit. The ADN series is trusted across automation globally for its dimensional interchangeability, clean construction, and consistent performance across a wide temperature range.
Key Features
ISO 21287 Compliance — Dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 21287 cylinders; simplifies replacement and standardisation across your machine build.
Double-Acting Operation — Positive air pressure drives both advance and return strokes, ensuring controlled, repeatable movement in both directions without relying on springs.
Female Thread Piston-Rod End (M4) — Internal thread on the rod end allows direct connection to push rods, fixtures, and tooling without additional adaptors in most applications.
Elastic Cushioning at Both Ends — Built-in cushioning rings absorb end-of-stroke impact energy (rated 0.15 J), reducing noise and mechanical shock without the need for adjustable throttle cushions.
Position Detection Ready — Slot or groove for standard Festo proximity switches is built into the cylinder body; no external sensor brackets required in most mounting configurations.
ISO Class 5 Cleanroom Suitability — Measured per ISO 14644-14, this cylinder is suitable for controlled-environment applications including pharmaceutical, food processing, and electronics assembly.
Flexible Mounting — Can be mounted via through-holes, female thread, or with optional accessories — accommodating nearly any machine frame orientation.
Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated from -20 °C to +80 °C ambient, covering both cold-store and hot industrial environments without special variants.
LABS/PWIS Conformity (VDMA24364-B1/B2-L) — Safe for use in spray-painting and coating environments; no paint-wetting impairment substances in materials.
RoHS Compliant Materials — Fully compliant with EU RoHS directive; suitable for CE-marked machinery builds.
