SMC Corporation MXS12-100 Guided Slide Cylinder

SMC MXS12-100 is a guided slide table cylinder (MXS Series) that combines a 12 mm bore with a 100 mm stroke and a cross-roller guided slide for high rigidity and precise, repeatable linear motion in compact form. The double-acting air cylinder is designed for precision assembly, positioning, and small- travel table applications such as pick-and-place and automated tooling, where a movable table must remain stable and parallel during travel. Key specifications include a 12 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, overall dimensions of about 212 mm (length) × 50 mm (width) × 32 mm (height), and a port size of M5x0.8 (with Rc-type options available depending on configuration). Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 0.7 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.05 MPa and a maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa; the piston is double-acting and the unit delivers up to 158 N of maximum applied force. The standard configuration does not include built-in auto switches, though variants exist (for example MXS12-100AS) with adjusters and additional sensor options. The MXS slide table is marketed as an integrated worktable solution featuring high rigidity, smooth movement, and the potential for options such as stroke adjusters, buffers, end locks, and axial piping to suit specific automation needs. This model is well-suited for applications requiring precise, guided motion within a compact footprint and can serve as a compact, accurate axis in automation and assembly systems.
