Overview
The Festo ADVU-20-56-PA-A is a double-acting compact pneumatic cylinder engineered for reliable motion control in automation systems. With a 20mm piston bore and 56mm stroke length, this unit operates at 10 bar (150 PA) and is designed for durability in demanding industrial environments. The PA designation indicates integrated position-sensing capability via proximity sensor, enabling closed-loop feedback for process validation and equipment diagnostics.
Key Features
- Double-acting design for push and pull motion
