Compact, short-stroke and flat cylinders
Festo compact, short-stroke and flat cylinders are double-acting pneumatic cylinders with reduced installation space. Compact cylinders (ADNGF, DPDM, ADN-S, AEN-S) combine bore diameters up to 100 mm and short strokes in a rectangular housing. Short-stroke cylinders (ADVC, AEVC) with strokes of 5 to 25 mm are suited to fast, short positioning tasks. Flat cylinders (DZF, DZH, EZH) deliver thrust or pull force at minimum height.
