SMC MXS16L-40 Pneumatic Guided Cylinder MXS16L
1. Product Overview
The SMC MXS16L-40 is a high-precision, double-acting pneumatic guided cylinder (slide table) from SMC’s MXS series, featuring a 16 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, and a cross-roller guide for exceptional rigidity and stable linear motion. It integrates a dual-piston rod structure with a compact slide table, delivering twice the thrust of conventional single-rod designs while maintaining a low-profile form factor. This cylinder is ideal for precision positioning, small-part transfer, and automated assembly tasks in electronics manufacturing, automotive component assembly, and robotic pick-and-place systems, where ±0.01 mm repeatability and minimal rotational deviation are critical. The built-in magnetic ring supports magnetic switches for real-time position feedback, and the lubrication-free design ensures maintenance-free operation in standard industrial environments. Its cross-roller guide eliminates play, enabling smooth, backlash-free movement, and the integrated structure reduces installation complexity compared to separate guide-and-cylinder setups.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Precision Linear Motion | Cross-roller guide ensures ±0.01 mm positioning repeatability and minimal rotational runout, enabling accurate alignment of small workpieces or tools in assembly and inspection tasks. |
| Double-Acting Bidirectional Thrust | Dual-piston rod design delivers bidirectional motion, with adjustable speed (50-500 mm/s) and thrust via pressure regulation, suitable for controlled pick-and-place and material handling operations. |
| Magnetic Position Feedback | Piston-mounted magnetic ring supports SMC D-M9 series magnetic switches, providing extension/retraction status signals for PLC integration and safety interlocks. |
| Multi-Directional Mounting | L-shaped slide table with threaded holes allows top, bottom, or side mounting on fixtures, robotic arms, or linear slides, optimizing layout flexibility in dense automation setups. |
| Impact Absorption | Rubber cushions on both ends reduce shock during stroke reversal, lowering noise and extending component service life. |
| Maintenance-Free Operation | Lubrication-free design with durable NBR seals eliminates regular oiling, reducing downtime and operational costs. |
3. Technical Features
- Cross-Roller Guide System: Cross-roller guide enhances rigidity, enabling 2x higher allowable moments than conventional models and backlash-free motion for stable operation under dynamic loads.
- Dual-Piston Rod Design: Dual rods deliver twice the thrust of single-rod cylinders, improving load capacity while maintaining compact dimensions.
- Broad Operating Range: Works with 0.15–0.7 MPa air pressure and 50–500 mm/s piston speed, compatible with filtered compressed air (particle size ≤5 μm) for reliable performance.
- Easy Sensor Integration: Compatible with SMC D-M9 series magnetic switches, mountable in side grooves without extra brackets for simple setup and maintenance.
- Durable Construction: Hard-anodized aluminum alloy body resists corrosion; SUS304 stainless steel piston rods and cross-roller guides ensure long service life under standard industrial conditions.
- Compact Low-Profile Design: Height of 23 mm and lightweight construction optimize space utilization in tight automation layouts.
- Adjustable Cushioning: Rubber cushions on both ends absorb impact, and optional stroke adjusters (0–5 mm range) enable fine-tuning of end positions for precise workpiece handling.
