Overview
The SMC CXSM20-75A is a precision-engineered dual rod pneumatic guided cylinder designed for applications requiring lateral stability and accurate motion. The CXS Series features bore sizes of 6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32 mm with non-rotating accuracy of 0.1, and the CXSM slide bearing variant provides enhanced load handling and repeatable positioning.
Key Features
- Slide bearing type provides lateral stability protecting from side loads
- Supplied with rubber cushioning for smooth deceleration
- Auto switch capable with stroke adjustment range of 0 to -5 mm
- Dual piston rod design for balanced force distribution
- Compact footprint suitable for space-constrained installations
Technical Specifications
20 mm bore with 75 mm stroke, 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure, operating temperature range –10°C to +60°C. Dimensions are 169 × 64 × 25 mm with weight of 640 g. Incorporates integral magnet for auto-switch position sensing compatibility.
Typical Applications
- Precision assembly and positioning tasks
- Medical and laboratory automation equipment
- Food processing and packaging machinery
- Inspection and testing systems requiring smooth, lateral-load-resistant actuation
- Machine tool guideways and clamping systems
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- SMC pneumatic control valves (directional control, flow control, pressure regulators)
- SMC auto-switch position sensors (D-Y7G, D-Y7H proximity switches)
- Standard ISO porting and sub-base mounting configurations
- Industrial pneumatic systems operating at 0.7 MPa or below
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The CXSM20-75A with standard options directly replaces earlier CXSM20-75 variants and units with equivalent part numbers (CXSM20-75A-Z73L suffix variants). Verify exact option codes (cushioning, switch compatibility, port configuration) with system documentation before ordering as a replacement.
Works With
- SMC pneumatic circuit design software and documentation
- Standard compressed air systems (ISO 4401 valve porting)
- Most industrial PLC and motion control systems via proximity switch outputs
- Clevis, trunnion, and foot mounting bracket assemblies for flexible installation
