SMC Corporation MKB12-10RN Rotary Clamp Cylinder

SMC's MKB12-10RN Rotary Clamp Cylinder is a compact, air-powered actuator designed to clamp and rotate small workpieces in tight automation spaces. It features a 12 mm bore and a 10 mm clamp stroke, delivering a precise clamp cycle in a small footprint that’s well-suited to high-density fixtures and transfer lines. As part of the MK Series Rotary Clamp Cylinders, the MKB12-10RN provides clockwise clamping action (RN), enabling integrated holding and positioning in automation cells where predictable, repeatable motion is required. The unit is designed for standard mounting configurations and straightforward pneumatic integration, making it a practical choice for compact automation equipment and fixture assemblies that require a single, space-efficient clamp-rotation solution. This model’s combination of compact size and deterministic clamp travel is particularly advantageous for lightweight clamping tasks in automation applications where space is at a premium and reliable cycle performance is essential.
