Rodless cylinder is magnetically coupled

With dramatic reduction in height, length and weight, a compact magnetically coupled rodless cylinder will appeal to builders of transfer machines for light components.
With dramatic reduction in height, length and weight, the new compact CY1F series from SMC Pneumatics will have particular appeal to manufacturers of light electric and electronic parts, and builders of transfer machines for light components. To meet the market demand, this compact and low profile series offers reductions of 27% - 29% in height, 31% - 50% in weight, with reductions in length of between 27mm - 110mm. The integrated construction of the guide and actuator makes for easier maintenance, as the actuator part of the unit can be removed without disturbing the pipework, thus minimising downtime.

The piping is centralised, giving the choice of connection to both sides of the product.

Built-in shock absorbers come as standard, with four options and combinations of adjustment bolts.

Standard bore sizes are 10mm, 15mm, 25mm, with stroke lengths of 50mm to 600mm.
