Overview
The SMC CXSWM32-40 is a precision-engineered dual rod pneumatic cylinder designed for applications demanding accuracy and stability. With a 32mm bore and 40mm stroke, this guided actuator incorporates slide bearing technology that resists lateral load impacts while maintaining ±0.1° non-rotating accuracy. The dual piston rod design provides balanced force distribution and controlled motion in both directions, making it suitable for pick-and-place operations, press applications, and precision transfer systems in manufacturing and assembly environments.
Key Features
- Dual piston rod design with non-rotating accuracy of ±0.1°
- Slide bearing type construction provides lateral stability and side load protection
- 32mm bore diameter with 40mm stroke length
- Rc 1/8 port thread for standard pneumatic connections
- Guided cylinder design suitable for high-precision industrial applications
- Compact, robust construction for reliable long-term operation
Technical Specifications
The CXSWM32-40 is engineered to meet the performance requirements of modern industrial automation. Key specifications include balanced rod diameter design for dual-rod configurations, precision-ground guide surfaces, and integrated wear protection for extended service life.
Typical Applications
- Pick-and-place and material handling systems
