SMC Corporation MKB16-20LZ Pneumatic Cylinder

SMC MKB16-20LZ is a rotary clamp cylinder in the MK series with a 16 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke, designed for compact rotary clamping in automation fixtures. This pneumatically driven cylinder converts compressed air into a rotating clamp action, enabling fast positioning and secure workholding during machining, inspection, or assembly tasks in tight installations. As part of SMC's MK rotary clamp family, the MKB16-20LZ offers a small footprint and straightforward integration with common fixture patterns, making it suitable for fixtures, rotary index tables, and jig-mounted clamps in automated cells where space is at a premium. The MKB16-20LZ designation provides an exact reference to its bore size and stroke, aiding in precise replacement and cross-reference within existing systems. Engineers specify this model when a compact, reliable clamping solution is required for short-stroke rotary operations, with familiar, air-operated actuation and compatibility with standard plant air services.
