SMC CRB2BW40-180SZ Rotating Cylinder (CRB2BW40180SZ)
1. Product Overview
The SMC CRB2BW40-180SZ (also designated as CRB2BW40180SZ) is a high-precision rotating cylinder from SMC’s CRB2 series, a flagship line of compact swing cylinders designed for industrial automation. As a double-acting rack-and-pinion driven actuator, it features a 40 mm bore diameter and a standard 180° swing angle, delivering stable torque output for tasks such as workpiece flipping, part indexing, precision clamping, and automated positioning. Its compact structure, paired with a double-shaft design and versatile mounting options, makes it ideal for space-constrained applications in electronic manufacturing, automotive assembly, packaging machinery, and robotic workstations. Adhering to SMC’s strict quality standards, the CRB2BW40-180SZ ensures minimal backlash, low operational noise, and reliable long-term performance, seamlessly integrating with standard pneumatic control systems.
2. Main Functions
|
Function
|
Detailed Description
|
|
180° Precision Swing Motion
|
Driven by a precision rack-and-pinion mechanism, it delivers consistent 180° rotational motion with adjustable angle range (±5°), ensuring high positioning accuracy and minimal backlash.
|
|
Double-Acting Operation
|
Converts pneumatic pressure into bidirectional rotational force (clockwise and counterclockwise), supporting automated cycle operations via solenoid valves and PLC control systems.
|
|
Dual-Shaft Output
|
Features double output shafts (designated by “W” in the model) for flexible connection to mechanical components, enabling symmetric force transmission and versatile application configurations.
|
|
Built-In Cushioning
|
Equipped with non-adjustable pad cushions at both limit positions (0° and 180°) to absorb impact, reduce vibration, and prevent component damage during rapid stops.
|
|
Magnetic Position Feedback
|
Integrated magnetic ring in the piston enables installation of magnetic proximity sensors, providing real-time rotational position feedback for closed-loop control and system synchronization.
|
3. Technical Features
-
Precision Rack-and-Pinion Drive: Adopts high-strength carbon steel gears and dual racks to eliminate tooth gap, ensuring smooth rotational motion with repeatability accuracy of ±0.5°.
-
Durable Construction: Cylinder barrel made of hard-anodized aluminum alloy for wear and corrosion resistance; stainless steel (SUS304) output shafts with chrome plating enhance durability and load-bearing capacity.
-
Reliable Sealing System: Double NBR rubber seals prevent air leakage, maintaining stable pressure and consistent performance at maximum operating pressure, with optional Viton seals for high-temperature environments.
-
Broad Operating Range: Functions reliably at 0.15–1.0 MPa air pressure and -10°C to 60°C ambient temperature, adapting to typical industrial working conditions with relative humidity ≤85%.
-
Oil-Free Operation: Designed for maintenance-free, oil-free lubrication, reducing operational costs and making it suitable for clean environments like electronic component assembly.
-
Multi-Orientation Mounting: Supports front, rear, and side mounting via standardized holes, adapting to horizontal, vertical, and inclined installation orientations in compact spaces.
