ADN-32-10-I-P-A

Product information

Product Overview

The ADN is a compact short-stroke cylinder to ISO 21287. Festo’s own positioning is that it needs up to 50% less installation space than a comparable standards-based cylinder to ISO 15552, which is exactly why it turns up in clamping, ejecting, lifting and stop functions where a full ISO 15552 barrel will not fit. The end cap has a centring hole for centring pins, the piston carries a magnet, and sensor slots are machined on three sides so proximity switches can be mounted flush. Cushioning is available as fixed elastic plates (code P) or self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning (code PPS).

This page covers ADN-32-10-I-P-A — Festo type code ADN-32-10-I-P-A, order number 536279. Everything below is taken from Festo’s own product data for this order number: the technical values, the category path, the GTIN and the lifecycle notice are all reproduced from the manufacturer’s page rather than paraphrased, so you can check them against Festo’s documentation before you buy.

Why Buyers Specify This Model

• ISO 21287 compact cylinder — up to 50% less installation space than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same piston diameter

• Magnet piston and sensor slots on three sides for flush-mounted proximity switches
• Centring hole in the end cap for centring pins, plus through-hole and female-thread mounting options
• Piston rod available with male or female thread
• Compact pneumatic cylinders, short-stroke and flat cylinders
• Up to 50% less installation space than comparable standards-based cylinders to ISO 15552

The order number and the type code both have to match. A single character in the type code can change the valve function, the cushioning or the connection, and it always changes the order number.

Lifecycle and Availability

Festo’s product page for this order number does not currently carry a discontinuation or successor notice, so we list it as a standard catalogue item. Availability is always confirmed against Festo’s stock at the time you order — we do not keep a stock figure on this page because it would be out of date the day it was written.

Official Documentation

Every figure on this page comes from Festo. Use the manufacturer’s own documents to verify it:

• Festo official product page — ADN-32-10-I-P-A — the source of the technical values and the lifecycle notice above.
• Festo official series catalogue (PDF) — Festo’s own catalogue for this series, including the type code breakdown and the ordering data for every variant.

Ordering This Part

Before we quote, please confirm:

• the complete Festo type code, exactly as it appears on the drawing or the nameplate — not just the series name;
• the order number if you have it, so we can cross-check the code against Festo’s catalogue;
• the quantity and the delivery address;
• for cylinders, the stroke and the mounting style, because both are fields in the order code;
• for valves and sensors, the electrical connection and the voltage, because these are fields in the order code.

Send us a photograph of the nameplate if the code is hard to read — that is usually the fastest way to avoid shipping the wrong variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does -PPS- mean in an ADN part number?
PPS is the cushioning field: pneumatic cushioning, self-adjusting at both ends. The PPS version absorbs the end-position energy through a self-adjusting cushioning system, so it does not need to be adjusted on site. The plain P version uses elastic cushioning rings/plates.

What does the -I- in ADN-32-10-I-P-A mean?
It is the piston rod thread field. Festo’s ADN type code distinguishes a male piston rod thread from a female piston rod thread; the two variants have different part numbers, so the letter must match your drawing.

How is ADN different from ADVU?
Both are compact cylinders with a similar space advantage over ISO 15552. The ADN is to ISO 21287; the ADVU/AEVU is Festo’s classic compact cylinder family with a wide variety of mounting options. They are not interchangeable part-for-part — the mounting and port geometry differ.

Can I mount an ADN without an extra bracket?
Yes, in some cases: the ADN offers through-hole and female-thread mounting in the end cap. For foot, flange and swivel mounting, Festo’s ADN accessory range covers it. Send us your drawing and we will quote the cylinder together with whatever bracket it needs.

Which proximity switch fits the ADN?
The ADN has sensor slots on three sides for T-slot-style flush mounting of proximity switches. We stock Festo cylinder sensors and can quote the switch together with the cylinder.
