The SMC MTS12-30-M9BL-XC8 Precision Spline Cylinder is a compact, double-acting actuator from SMC’s MTS series that uses a ball spline rod bearing for high-precision, non-rotational travel in a small footprint. It features a 12 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke with a spline rod, making it suitable for precise linear motion in automated assembly, pick-and-place, and packaging tasks where lateral play must be minimized. XC8 is a made-to-order catalog code indicating a specific configuration, and for a 12 mm bore the standard piping port size is M5 x 0.8.
