New versions of SMC's popular magnetically coupled CY series cylinders have been designed for applications demanding space saving features, such as cutting and transferring
Continuing with development of rodless cylinders, SMC have launched new versions of their popular magnetically coupled CY series, the CY3B and CY3R, which has been designed for applications demanding space saving features, such as cutting and transferring in horizontal, inclined and vertical operations. The units offer improved durability in bearing performance; this is due to an increase in wear ring length. And, by incorporating a special resin soft wiper on the dust seal, ideal lubrication on the external surface of the cylinder tube is achieved, therefore attaining a decrease in sliding resistance, and a reduction in the minimum operating pressure.

The result of these improvements is increased operational performance and improved product lifespan.

By adopting this new soft wiper, the minimum operating pressure has also been reduced by 30%.

The CY3 is available in bore sizes of 15, 20, 25, 32, and 40mm with stroke options of between 50 and 1,000mm.

In addition, for bore sizes of 20mm diameter or larger, three types of piping port threads are available Rc, NPT and G thread.
