Save space with powerful rodless cylinder series

For high precision transfer applications, in narrow spaces, series MY2C rodless cylinder will give space savings of over 30% when compared with the existing MY1C, advises SMC Pneumatics.
For high precision transfer applications, in narrow spaces, series MY2C, from SMC Pneumatics should be the rodless cylinder of choice. The MY2C with its low profile design, reduced height and low centre of gravity, will give space savings of over 30% compared to its sister range, the MY1C, without compromising stroke lengths (up to 5000mm - 25 and 40 bore). It will take increased load capacities, of up to seven times higher than previous similar models, and this is due to the larger diagonal cam followers, which also give increased rigidity.

And, because of the low profile design, heavy duty shock absorbers can be mounted, without interfering with the workpiece.

The standard unit is supplied complete with air cushion and centralised piping - all versions have a stroke adjusting unit, are double acting, and do not require lubrication.

For ease of maintenance, the cylinder can be replaced without removing the workpiece.
