Overview
The Festo ADVU-16-50-A-P-A-S2 (part number 25281228) is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder engineered for industrial automation applications where space is limited. This cylinder offers a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar (145 psi) and combines aluminum construction with precision engineering to deliver reliable performance in machine tool fixtures, assembly equipment, and positioning applications.
Key Features
- Double-acting design for forward and reverse motion control
- Aluminum body with corrosion-resistant finish for durability
- Elastic cushioning rings/plates at both ends to dampen impact and reduce noise
- Female thread piston rod for direct threaded connections without adapters
- Compact footprint — 50% less installation space than comparable ISO 15552 cylinders
- Magnetic piston for optional proximity sensor integration
- Through piston rod design (S2 variant) for extended reach applications

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The ADVU-16-50-A-P-A-S2 series is functionally interchangeable with other compact cylinders in the Festo ADVU/AEVU family with matching stroke lengths. Verify exact port configuration and thread type with your OEM documentation before substitution. Not directly compatible with ISO 15552 standard cylinders due to different envelope dimensions.
Works With
- Festo PLCOPEN function blocks and automation libraries
- Industrial pneumatic CAD and simulation software
- Standard PLC digital I/O modules (24 VDC solenoid valve logic)
- Fieldbus integration via Festo gateway modules (PROFINET, EtherCAT)
