Working Principle​

The MXQ25-150B-M9N uses a double-acting cylinder structure. When compressed air enters the rodless side, the air pressure pushes the piston, generating thrust to extend. When compressed air enters the rod side, the air pressure pushes the piston to retract. The reciprocating motion of the slide is achieved by controlling the direction of compressed air flow via a solenoid valve. The integrated design of the recirculating linear guide and the cylinder ensures high rigidity and high-precision linear motion. The built-in magnetic ring works in conjunction with magnetic switches to enable position detection. When the piston moves to the set position, the magnetic switch senses the magnetic ring and sends an electrical signal, achieving precise position control.

Typical Application Scenarios​

1. Industrial Automation Production Lines​ Used in automated production lines for automotive manufacturing, electronic device production, etc., for operations such as grabbing, transporting, and positioning workpieces. High-precision positioning ensures assembly accuracy, improving production efficiency and product quality.
2. Precision Assembly Equipment​ Provides stable platform movement in the assembly and inspection of precision electronic devices and optical instruments, ensuring assembly accuracy. Suitable for precision tasks such as circuit board handling and small part assembly.
3. Packaging Machinery​ Used in pneumatic circuit control for actions like marking, cutting, and lid opening in packaging machines. The pneumatic slide enables precise positioning and transportation of materials, ensuring accuracy and stability in the production process.
4. Robotics Technology​ Serves as an end effector for robots, working in tandem with robotic arms to grasp, position, and place workpieces, improving robotic motion accuracy and efficiency. Suitable for applications like robotic arm connections and material handling systems.

Installation and Usage Considerations​

1. Installation Requirements​ The slide should be installed on a flat, stable base to ensure stable operation. Before installation, verify that the air source pressure meets the 0.1~0.7MPa requirement and ensure the air source is clean. During installation, avoid subjecting the slide to eccentric or lateral loads; ensure the load’s motion direction aligns with the slide axis.
2. Operating Environment​ The operating temperature range is -10℃~60℃; avoid use in excessively high or low temperatures. Maintain appropriate relative humidity levels to prevent moisture from affecting equipment lifespan. The operating medium should be filtered through a 40 μm or finer filter before use.
3. Electrical Connection​ When wiring the magnetic switch, strictly follow the voltage parameters indicated on the coil nameplate. The power supply voltage should meet DC5V, 12V, 24V (DC4.5~28V), and stability must be ensured. When connecting wires, ensure secure connections to prevent loosening that could cause the magnetic switch to malfunction.
4. Regular Maintenance​ Regularly inspect the slide’s connecting pipes and valves to ensure no leaks. Periodically clean the slide surface to maintain cleanliness. Routinely check the slide’s operational performance to ensure long-term stable operation. After prolonged shutdowns, it is recommended to perform an air purge before restarting.
5. Safe Operation​ Ensure the equipment is properly grounded before operation to prevent electric shock risks. Avoid contact with moving parts during operation to prevent injuries. In case of equipment malfunction, stop operation immediately and have it repaired by professionals. Always depressurize before installation to prevent injuries from high-pressure medium discharge. Do not exceed the product’s rated pressure, temperature, and medium specifications.
