Festo ADN-40-60-A-P-A Pneumatic Cylinder, Double Acting, 40mm Bore, 60mm Stroke, 10 Bar, Aluminium Body

The Festo ADN-40-60-A-P-A is an industrial-grade pneumatic cylinder designed for compact installation and high productivity in a variety of automated systems. This double acting actuator has a 40 mm bore diameter and a 60 mm stroke length, delivering reliable bidirectional motion for mechanical processes requiring repetitive precision and controlled force. Aluminium construction ensures the device is both lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion, a crucial factor for deployment in harsh industrial environments such as manufacturing lines, process automation, and packaging equipment.

This Pneumatic Cylinder operates with compressed air supplied to alternate ports to extend or retract the piston rod. Its double acting functionality enables precise movement for driving mechanical components in tasks such as clamping, lifting, pushing, or sorting. Air cushioning and integrated cushioning rings absorb end-of-stroke shocks and dampen vibrations, minimizing mechanical noise and increasing service life. The cylinder is suitable for both horizontal and vertical mounting and its compact body allows flexibility in machine design without loss of performance.

Proximity sensor slots are built into the cylinder for magnetic piston rods, supporting non-contact position feedback and facilitating fully automated feedback systems. Standard through hole mounting and the aluminium body construction offer fast, secure installation and long-term reliability. The ADN-40-60-A-P-A supports a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar and an operating temperature range from -20°C to 80°C, ensuring optimal performance in a range of ambient conditions. The single, male-threaded piston rod (1/8 in G) supports versatile end-of-arm tooling integration and robust connection with other actuators or end-effectors.

This model belongs to Festo’s ADN series, compliant with ISO 21287 standards for interchangeability, making it ideal for replacement and upgrade programs in existing automation lines. It is commonly used in industrial automation, manufacturing, assembly, material handling, lab automation, food and beverage processing, and other systems where precise linear motion and a compact footprint are required.

Additional mounting accessories and flexible configuration allow the cylinder to be adapted for custom machinery setups. Overall, the Festo ADN-40-60-A-P-A is a premium choice where reliability, high cycle life, and integration flexibility are priorities in modern automation projects.
