Compact guide cylinder incorporates shock absorber
Keyword: Shock absorbers
SMC Pneumatics' compact high precision, double acting, guide cylinder, now incorporates a shock absorber, for absorbing impact at the end of the extended stroke.
Series MGP-XC69 incorporates an extension adjustment mechanism which gives, for example an adjustment of 25mm on the stroke of Ø 32 to Ø 63mm bore units. (The MGP Compact Guide cylinder range covers 12 to 100mm bore and strokes from 10 to 400mm) (Plate 6).
Options include a choice of bearings (slide or ball) within the guide mechanism, and a range of autoswitch (reed or solid state), both giving optimum application performance.
The MGP with shock absorber is ideal for any application where precision is important, i.e. pick and place.
