SMC MKB16-20L Pneumatic Rotary Clamping Cylinder

The SMC MKB16-20L pneumatic rotary clamp cylinder is a compact MK-series actuator with a 16 mm bore and a 20 mm clamp stroke that both clamps and rotates a workpiece in a single cycle, delivering fast, repeatable orientation for fixtures in milling, turning, and automated transfer operations. Rotary direction is left-handed (L), and the unit is designed for flexible mounting with through-holes or end taps (Mounting Style B), featuring a standard body with female threads to simplify integration with matching SMC mounting accessories and linkages. Port connections use M-thread or Rc-thread formats, accommodating common pneumatic supply lines, and the MK-series design emphasizes higher allowable inertia and interchangeability with MK and MK2 families, enabling retrofit compatibility across a range of clamping and indexing applications. In typical usage, the MKB16-20L serves as a compact, reliable clamping solution in fixtures for small components, jig-based assembly lines, and workstations requiring precise 16 mm bore clamping and compact envelope without sacrificing rotation capability.
