The ADN system concept is a further development on that of the ADVU model – a compact cylinder launched 10 years ago – and which the new cylinder has replaced. Diameters extend from 12 to 125 mm and include a comprehensive choice of variants for a broad range of applications. Stroke lengths are available up to 500 mm and numerous mounting accessories support the cylinder range.

The product requires 50% less installation space than standard cylinders. Its patented three-component piston offers excellent running properties and cushioning characteristics in the end positions. Due to the compact design, the installation space saved can be used to provide for a longer piston-rod bearing.

Festo also offers software tools that allow its products to be planned and dimensioned dependably. CAD files can be downloaded via the Internet, quickly and free of charge, permitting fast integration into system designs.
