SMC MXQA-CS16 Guided Cylinder Hard Stop Extension End

The SMC MXQA-CS16 Guided Cylinder Hard Stop Extension End is a purpose-built end-cap accessory for SMC's MXQA-guided cylinders with a 16 mm bore, engineered to provide a precise hard stop at the end of the extension stroke and to serve as a defined mechanical reference for downstream automation. This extension end is designed to pair with MXQA-series cylinders to define and repeat the end position in automated equipment, helping to limit travel, minimize end-of-stroke shock, and improve positional accuracy across production cycles. Typical applications include packaging lines, fixture indexing, and pick-and-place or assembly tasks where a reliable, repeatable stop at full extension supports consistent alignment and repeatable movement, reducing cycle-to-cycle variation. Sold as part of the MXQ/MXQA accessory family, the CS16 integrates with the cylinder system to extend usable stroke while delivering a fixed stop at maximum extension, with SMC offering widespread distribution through industrial suppliers such as Walker Industrial and Grainger.
