Air Cylinders
Linear: Basic Air Cylinders
Basic linear air cylinders are used to provide straight-line, in/out linear movement for a variety of applications. Basic air cylinders are available as single acting and double acting with single or double rod and non-rotating models.
Body styles include crimped, round, or tie rod. Single-acting cylinders develop thrust in one direction and have lower air consumption compared with the equivalent size of double-acting cylinders. With a double-acting cylinder, air pressure may be alternately applied to provide force in both directions.
Series: NCM, NCJ2, NCG, NCA1, CJ, CM2, CG1, MB, CSI, C85, and C95.
Linear: Compact Air Cylinders
A compact air cylinder functions in the same manner as a basic air cylinder with both single and double acting, single or double rod, and non-rotating models. However, SMC compact cylinders minimize space requirements by allowing for precise, direct mounting in the least amount of space possible.
Series: NCQ2, NCQ7, CQS, CU, and CUJ
Linear: Rodless Air Cylinders
The only difference between the Rodless air cylinders and the Basic air cylinders is the protruding piston rod outside the cylinder body. Instead, the internal piston is connected to an external carriage, by means of a magnetic or mechanical coupling system.
Being unaffected by rod overhang, bending, piston binding, and uneven seal wear makes SMC Rodless Air Cylinders ideal for long stroke applications, and for use in confined areas where space is a premium.
Series: CY, REA, MY1, MY2, MY3
Guided Air Cylinders
In the case of Guided cylinders, a guide rods mounted parallel to the piston rod to provide stable, non-rotating, high side load performance is utilized. SMC offers dual rod, slide table, heavy duty and precision models. Like rodless cylinders, SMC guide rod cylinders reduce rod bending; piston bending and uneven seal wear. Low profile models are available for space limitations.
Series: Dual Rod–CXS; Slide Table–MXU, MXQ, MXH, MXP, MXS, MXF, MXW;
Heavy Duty–MGP, MGQ, MGG, MGC, MGF; Precision–MTS
