Precision pneumatic controls from SMC Pneumatics are at the heart of innovative new automatic assembly systems, designed for Sarnatech BNL to make bearing assemblies
It has a built-in ball spline mechanism for precision, air cushioning at both ends and a non-rotating accuracy of <0.1deg.
It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including pick and place, positioning and transfer of work.
By incorporating the MTS cylinder, design/assembly time are also reduced, as the need for all external guidance has been eliminated.
Other features include instroke locking and high precision mounting options, made to order stroke adjustment and female rod end thread as standard (male thread available as an option).
In addition, this cylinder includes specially shaped seals which give sealing and life expectancy equivalent to round rod models.
The MTS is available in bore sizes from 20mm to 40mm diameter and in stroke sizes up to and including 200mm.
