Festo 536203 ADN-12 – Compact Cylinder, Ø12 mm, Double-Acting, ISO 21287
The Festo 536203 is the ADN-12 compact cylinder with a 12 mm piston, from Festo’s ADN range to ISO 21287. It is a double-acting cylinder with elastic cushioning at both ends (P) and a magnetic piston for position sensing (A). It is supplied as a configurable product, so stroke, piston rod thread type and options are set by the full type code, for example ADN-12-25-A-P-A or ADN-12-60-I-P-A.
At 6 bar the ADN-12 develops 68 N on the advance stroke and 51 N on the return stroke. It works from 1 to 10 bar and between −20 and +80 °C. Its very short, square profile and flexible mounting (through-holes, female threads or accessories) make it ideal where space is tight, such as handling, assembly, clamping and packaging machines.
