MY2 and MY3 rodless cylinders

SMC has released the series MY2 and MY3 rodless cylinders with low profile designs to save space.

The MY02 cylinder is supplied complete with air cushions and centralised piping. All versions have a stroke adjusting unit, are double acting and do not require lubrication. The drive cylinder may be replaced without removing the work piece and the slide is designed to allow for easy mounting and adjustment of position sensing switches. Centralised air piping and a choice of T slot or through-hole mounting allows for flexibility in mounting orientation.

Thrust forces from 40 to 1005 N are available. Cylinder strokes extend from 100 to 5000 mm. Slide table load capability goes up to 80 kg. The operating ambient/fluid temperature range is 5 to 60°C. Maximum operation speed is 1500 mm/s.

The MY3 is an unguided rodless cylinder with compact height and length. The small size was achieved by utilising a unique, low profile piston design. It is available in four bore sizes: 16, 25, 40 and 63 mm. Options include floating joints, stroke adjusters, side supports and auto switches. The stroke adjuster and shock absorber are integrated into a low-profile design. Auto switches can be mounted on both sides from the front direction. Using side supports, the cylinder tube can be fixed from the upper or lower side. Long strokes of up to 3000 mm are available.
