Overview
The SMC CXSM15-70 is a dual-rod pneumatic cylinder from the compact CXS Series, engineered for precision positioning and guided motion control. This model is designed with guide function suitable for pick and place applications. The compact type dual piston rod cylinder has non-rotating accuracy ± 0.1°, making it ideal for applications requiring stable, repeatable motion without rotation.
Key Features
- Ball bushing bearings and slide bearings are standard for all series
- Can be mounted from 3 directions
- Workpieces can be mounted on 3 surfaces
- High precision ball bushing type allows for smooth operation that ensures stable travel resistance
- Air cushion only minimally adds to full length dimension
- Double-acting pneumatic design for bidirectional force
Technical Specifications
The CXSM15-70 specifications include a 15mm bore diameter and 70mm stroke length. Maximum speed for ø15 is up to 700 mm/s. Connection port size is Rc 1/8 thread. The cylinder features ball-bushing bearing assemblies with slide bearing support for multi-directional load handling. Complete dimensional and pressure ratings are available in the manufacturer’s CXS Series catalog.
Typical Applications
The SMC CXSM15-70 is suited for automated assembly, positioning, and transfer applications where precision guidance is required. Common uses include:
- Pick and place automation systems
- Precision positioning in manufacturing equipment
- Guided linear motion control
- Multi-directional actuator applications
- Clean room and controlled environment automation
