MXW16-100B: Long-Stroke, High-Rigidity Slide Table – Heavy-Duty Precision Transfer Expert with Dual-Rod, Double-Acting Design
2026-03-27
Product Positioning
The MXW16-100B is a dual-rod, double-acting pneumatic slide table from SMC’s MXW series. It utilizes a recirculating linear guide and dual cylinder construction. This series is specifically designed for precision linear motion requiring long strokes and high rigidity, maintaining consistent slide rigidity at any stroke position. With a bore size of 16 mm and a 100 mm stroke, and equipped with standard hydraulic shock absorbers at both ends, it is an ideal choice for achieving smooth, precise linear transfer in electronic assembly, precision handling, inspection equipment, and automated production lines.
Core Highlights: Long-Stroke High Rigidity, Double Cylinder for Double Force, Hydraulic Shock Absorption for Smooth Stopping
- Long-Stroke High Rigidity, Consistent Rigidity Throughout Stroke
- Utilizes a recirculating linear guide as the guidance mechanism, supporting strokes up to 300 mm with identical slide rigidity at any stroke position, eliminating overhang effects.
- The guide features hardened stainless steel, integrated with the slide table to effectively absorb external moments, ensuring smooth, vibration-free motion.
- Dual Cylinder Structure, Double Output Force
- Employs a dual cylinder structure, providing twice the theoretical output force of a single-rod cylinder with the same bore size.
- With a 16 mm bore and an operating pressure range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa, the maximum load capacity when mounted horizontally is 5 to 9.2 kg, meeting medium-load precision handling requirements.
- B Option: Hydraulic Shock Absorbers at Both Ends
- The “B” in the model number indicates hydraulic shock absorbers at both ends (2 Shock Absorbers), effectively absorbing impact energy at the end of piston strokes, enabling smooth, quiet stopping and protecting the slide and load equipment.
- Built-in Magnet, Controllable Intelligence
- The cylinder body features a built-in magnet, allowing convenient selection and attachment of magnetic switches for non-contact position detection and feedback.
- Note: This model does not come standard with a magnetic switch (requires separate selection, e.g., M9B, M9N, A93 series).
- M5 Metric Thread Port, Convenient Installation
- The piping port size is M5×0.8 (metric thread). The slide table surface is hard anodized for wear resistance and durability.
- The mounting style is basic, allowing fixation from multiple directions.
Detailed Specifications
- Slide Dimensions: Length 125 mm, Width 74 mm, Height 43 mm.
- Theoretical Thrust (0.5MPa Extend): 201 N.
- Theoretical Thrust (0.5MPa Retract): 151 N.
