For maximum productivity in confined spaces. Compact cylinders ADN are now equipped with the unique pneumatic end-position cushioning PPS. It adapts itself to the actuator load and speed, even if these change. This means dramatically reduced set-up times and increased operating throughput.

More options as standard

  • Massive range of options; nonstandard sizes and designs are also available for an even broader range of applications
  • Up to 50% shorter than the standard cylinder ISO 15552 – but with the same stroke and the same robust, bolted-on end cap design
  • Well thought out – one type of proximity sensor (SMx-8M) can be inserted on three sides on all sizes
  • Very short delivery times and attractively priced ADN + PPS cushioning for maximum cylinder performance

ADN + PPS cushioning for maximum cylinder performance

  • High speeds and machine cycle rates are possible thanks to the excellent running and cushioning characteristics of the PPS pneumatic cushioning.
  • Operating reliability: user adjustments are eliminated, making it ideal for OEMs.
  • With PPS cushioning adjustments are no longer necessary – perfect when the cylinders are hard to access.
  • Higher energy absorption extends the cylinder and machinery life
  • Less vibration, reduced impacts, less noise

Innovation plus quality = a world champion

ADN/AEN standard cylinders at a glance

Standard types for fast delivery, modular types for greater flexibility

Defined standard types, which are simply ordered using part numbers, cover the most popular sizes and are available ex-stock at a very favorable price. The ADN modular system offers a comprehensive range with many features to ensure that all requirements can be met. Individual combinations mean a high level of functionality and guarantee the best possible technical solution for almost every application.

ADN Pneumatic Configurations

Depending on the basic cylinders, numerous additional functions are available for individual configuration within the modular system.

The advantages of PPS cushioning

The self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning PPS enables a dynamic yet gentle movement into the cylinder’s end position. This is achieved by the unique cushioning piston ports that allow the air to be optimally vented. This makes it entirely unnecessary to set the cushioning manually.

This is particularly beneficial if the cylinders are hard to access. Also unintentional user adjustment is no longer possible. Instead, the cushioning automatically adjusts itself to the load and speed.

PPS cushioning is also ideal if the transfer of end position shocks and vibrations to the system has to be prevented.

For high speeds and machine cycles

As end-position cushioning PPS absorbs more energy, it is possible to use higher velocities and masses.

PPS cushioning system: without an adjusting screw for cushioning adjustment

Cylinder piston: gentle movement into the end position

Exhaust ports: regulated air discharge

Patented 3K piston: excellent running characteristics and outstanding cushioning characteristics in the end position

Makes a big contribution – but stays small

The compact cylinder ADN-PPS combines two advantages: the compact shape of the cylinder with P cushioning and cylinder performance according to ISO 15552.
