SMC MXS16L-40 Pneumatic Guided Cylinder (MXS16L40)
1. Product Overview
The SMC MXS16L-40 is a high-precision double-acting pneumatic guided cylinder (slide table) belonging to SMC’s MXS series, engineered for industrial automation applications requiring stable, high-accuracy linear motion. It features a 16 mm bore diameter and 40 mm stroke length, integrated with a cross-roller guide system that eliminates backlash and ensures exceptional rigidity. The dual-piston rod design delivers balanced thrust and minimizes rotational deviation, making it ideal for precision positioning, small-part transfer, automated assembly, and robotic pick-and-place tasks in electronics manufacturing, automotive component production, and laboratory automation. With a built-in magnetic ring for position feedback and a lubrication-free structure, this cylinder supports seamless PLC integration and maintenance-free operation, while its compact low-profile form factor optimizes space utilization in dense automation setups.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Precision Linear Positioning | Cross-roller guide system enables ±0.01 mm position repeatability and minimal rotational runout, ensuring accurate alignment of workpieces or tools in high-precision applications. |
| Double-Acting Bidirectional Motion | Compressed air drives the slide table for both extension and retraction strokes, with adjustable speed and thrust via pressure regulation, supporting cyclic automated operations. |
| Magnetic Position Feedback | A magnetic ring embedded in the piston allows installation of magnetic proximity switches, providing real-time extension/retraction status signals for system synchronization and safety interlocks. |
| Multi-Orientation Mounting | L-shaped slide table with standardized threaded holes supports top, bottom, or side mounting on fixtures, linear rails, or robotic end-effectors, maximizing layout flexibility. |
| Impact Shock Absorption | Rubber cushions installed at both stroke ends absorb kinetic energy during rapid stops, reducing operational noise and extending the service life of the cylinder and connected components. |
| High Load Stability | Cross-roller guide structure bears radial, lateral, and moment loads independently of the piston rods, preventing deflection and ensuring stable performance under dynamic working conditions. |
3. Technical Features
- Cross-Roller Guide Mechanism: The precision cross-roller guide delivers 2x higher allowable moment loads compared to conventional slide cylinders, with zero backlash for smooth, consistent linear motion.
- Dual-Piston Rod Design: Symmetric dual-piston rods eliminate piston rotation and thrust imbalance, ensuring uniform force distribution and precise positioning throughout the stroke.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Main body and slide table are made of hard-anodized aluminum alloy; piston rods and guide rollers are crafted from SUS304 stainless steel with hard chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Lubrication-free internal seals and pre-lubricated guide components eliminate the need for regular oiling, reducing downtime and operational costs in clean industrial environments.
- Broad Operating Parameters: Functions reliably at an air pressure range of 0.15–0.7 MPa and a piston speed range of 50–500 mm/s, compatible with filtered compressed air (particle size ≤5 μm).
- Sensor Integration Flexibility: Compatible with SMC D-M9 series magnetic switches, which can be mounted directly in the cylinder’s side grooves without additional brackets or modifications.
- Adjustable Stroke Fine-Tuning: Optional stroke adjusters (0–5 mm adjustment range) enable precise end-position calibration, adapting to specific workpiece positioning requirements.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets international environmental standards, free of restricted hazardous substances, suitable for eco-friendly manufacturing facilities.
