Compact cylinder AEN-S
Compact, short-stroke and flat cylinders
Festo compact cylinders AEN-S are single-acting mini pneumatic cylinders with spring return and bore diameters of 6 and 10 mm with strokes of 5 and 10 mm. The range covers 16 items. Unlike the double-acting ADN-S, the AEN-S uses an internal spring for the return stroke, making these cylinders suitable for fail-safe applications where a defined retracted position must be assumed on loss of pressure.
Bore Ø 6 and 10 mm - stroke 5 and 10 mm, single-acting with spring return
Spring return - defined retract position on pressure loss, no external return stroke needed
Rod variants -I and -A - internal or external thread on piston rod depending on attachment
Magnetic piston optional - suffix -A for inductive and magnetic position sensors
Low weight - miniature housing for dynamic gripping and positioning tasks
| Type | Bore Ø | Stroke | Rod / Magnetic piston |
|---|---|---|---|
| AEN-S-6-5-I | 6 mm | 5 mm | Internal thread, no magnet |
| AEN-S-6-10-I-A | 6 mm | 10 mm | Internal thread, magnetic piston |
| AEN-S-10-5-A | 10 mm | 5 mm | External thread, no magnet |
| AEN-S-10-10-A-A | 10 mm | 10 mm | External thread, magnetic piston |
Typical applications: Fail-safe clamping and locking tasks where a secured retracted position must be assumed on pressure loss, miniature automation in medical and laboratory technology, robot grippers with safety function, and fixtures in electronics manufacturing with minimal installation space.
