Festo

557196

Compact air cylinder AEN-3"- -

This Festo industrial component, part number 557196, is a single-acting piston barrel built to ISO 21287 standards with a 3" piston diameter, an adjustable stroke ranging from 0.039 in to 0.984 in, and integrated elastic cushioning rings at both ends. Operating on compressed air per ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] within a pressure range of 14.5 psi to 145 psi, the unit delivers a theoretical advancing force of 678 lbf at 6 bar and features position sensing for proximity sensors alongside a square piston rod for anti-twist protection. It exhibits a CRC 2 moderate corrosion resistance rating, VDMA24364-B1/B2-L LABS conformity, and an ambient temperature range of -4 °F to 248 °F with optional oil lubrication capability.

Why no listed price?

Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.

Identification and RFQ Guidance

Confirm the exact configuration

Use the manufacturer part number and model code—not appearance alone. Connection, size, material, voltage, pressure, seal, and control options can differ within the same product family.

What to include in your RFQ

Provide quantity, delivery country and ZIP/postal code, required condition, target date, and photographs of the existing nameplate when available.
