SMC Guided Air Cylinders

The solution for a linear-actuator subject to high loads. Ideal for material handling applications. Two basic models include a self-lubricating slide bushing and a linear ball bearing style. The 100mm slide bushing model can stop a load of 3,000 lbs. traveling at 55ft/min, or smoothly lift a centered load of 1,000 lbs. with a 40% safety factor. The overall package is very compact, and pre-tapped mounting holes ensure easy attachment of fixtures. Mounts on side or bottom. The MGQ offers bore sizes from 12 to 100mm and is switch capable. Compact guide cylinder Bore sizes: 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100 (mm) Strokes from 10mm through 200mm depending upon bore size Variety of switches and a variety of lead wire lengths

The MGT series is a combination of a manual turntable and a flat cylinder with guide. High precision bearings are used for smooth turning return movement. The table unit has positioning mechanisms for each 90° and 180° of rotation. Rotation position is detected by provision of an auto switch sensor. Examples of applications where the turntable series would be used include assembly lines, inspection lines etc. with turning operations.

The MGC guide cylinder is ideal for material handling applications involving stopping, lifting, and pushing. It combines the functions of a conventional linear cylinder, and a non-rotation device. Features include standard air cushions, grease nipple, and switch capability. Other features include, slide or ball bushing bearings, compact design, adjustable air cushion, and lightweight guided actuator. High level of stopping accuracy Three-styles of locking mechanism Lockable in both directions Maximum piston speed: 500mm/s Air cushion provided as standard equipment Possible to detect the operating position

The MGP is designed for high side load applications found in material handling, lifting and stopping. The cylinder utilizes an ultra-compact design by incorporating the cylinder body as part of the guide body. As the stroke length increases, so does the bearing length, thus enhancing the cylinder's load bearing capacity. Conventional designed guided cylinders have a set bearing length resulting in dramatic decreases in side load capacity as stroke lengths increase. The MGP is the latest generation of guided cylinders and offers higher load capability, longer strokes, 2 port locations, switch mounting grooves on two sides, and a more versatile T-slot mounting than the MGQ series. Order made options for this series include adjustable air cushions, heavy duty guide rods, copper free, high temperature, and low speed. Low profile with compact lock unit Locking is possible at any desired position Locking direction is selectable Slide or ball bushing bearings Four types of mounting Available in 20 to 100mm bore sizes Auto switch capable

The MXF is a low profile slide table that utilizes a rigid guide that is mounted parallel to an air cylinder. The actuator is equipped with location holes for quick and easy mounting changes of tools or fixtures.

The MXH compact slide table provides a convenient integration of an endless track linear guide and air cylinder, with higher load carrying capabilities and longer standard strokes when compared to previous series. The use of a linear guide provides outstanding displacement accuracy against moments, and excellent parallelism of travel. The compact narrow profile of the unit allows for parallel position of several slides in a limited space. The MXH is suitable for a wide range of industries, which require material or tool handling, and precision non-rotating accuracy. The cylinder can be mounted in 4 directions and piping can be connected from 3 sides. MXH is available in 4 bore sizes from 6mm to 10mm and standard strokes up to 60mm.

The MXJ air slide table's integrated front mounting part and table result in a highly accurate, rigid top and front mounting surface. Clean specification styles are available with no dimensional changes.  Several options are available for both the standard and the clean series MXJ.  These options include a symmetric style, stroke adjusters, axial piping and auto switches.

The MXP is ideal for applications that require high precision movement in short travel situations. The precision slide table has a machined guide with very tight tolerances that operates in conjunction with highly accurate recirculating ball bearings. This slide is capable of achieving parallelism within 0.02mm and non-rotation accuracy as low as 0.03 degrees. Two of the mounting surfaces allow work to be held to a tolerance +/-0.05mm plus the tolerance of the work piece. The slide contains two pistons that operate independently to supply the movement of the actuator. Precision air slide table Bore sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 (mm) Strokes: 5mm through 30mm depending upon bore size With rubber or metal stopper or shock absorber Variety of switches with a variety of wire lead lengths
