SMC MXS12-40ASF Guided Slide Cylinder 12mm 40mm 0.7MPa

The SMC MXS12-40ASF Guided Slide Cylinder is a compact 12 mm bore, 40 mm stroke air slide table in the MXS Series, marrying a cross-roller guided slide with a built-in double-acting cylinder for precise, repeatable motion in tight spaces. Rated for up to 0.7 MPa, it supports smooth, controlled travel suitable for precision assembly and component handling in small-form automation. Standard bore and stroke are 12 mm and 40 mm, with port thread options including M6–M16 and Rc 20–25 to fit common compressed-air plumbing. The Adjuster Option AS provides an extension end adjuster to set stroke limits, while the base configuration can be ordered without an auto switch or with up to two auto switches for position sensing. The integrated guide yields higher rigidity and reduced lateral play compared with non-guided cylinders, enabling consistent positioning in multi-axis setups. Common applications include high-precision pick-and-place, machine tending, and compact automation where a small, lightweight slide table is required. This model's design aligns with SMC's air slide technology, supporting precise end-of-arm tooling and reliable linear motion in space-constrained assemblies.
