Overview
The Festo ADVU-40-25-PA is a versatile compact pneumatic cylinder engineered for demanding industrial automation applications. With a 40mm bore and 25mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder delivers consistent force output across its rated pressure range of 10 BAR (145 PSI). Built with aluminum construction and high-alloy steel components, the ADVU-40-25-PA provides reliable performance in assembly lines, material handling, and precision positioning tasks.
