CY3R63-1000-M9PL: Magnetically Coupled Rodless Cylinder, Long-Stroke Clean Transfer Expert (Direct Mount Type)
2026-02-27
Product Positioning
The CY3R63-1000-M9PL is a magnetically coupled rodless cylinder (direct mount type) from SMC’s CY3R series, featuring a double-acting design, a bore size of Φ63mm, and a stroke of 1000mm. This series is an upgraded version of the classic CY1 series. While maintaining the same mounting dimensions as the CY1, it achieves smoother and more durable motion through improved bearing performance and reduced sliding resistance. Its magnetically coupled, rodless structure offers unique advantages in long-stroke transfer, clean environments, and applications where space savings are critical. It is an ideal actuating element for reciprocating workpiece transfer in electronic assembly, medical equipment, food packaging, and automated production lines.
Core Highlights: CY1 Upgrade, Direct Mount, Magnetically Coupled Cleanliness
- CY1 Series Upgrade, Comprehensive Performance Enhancement
- While maintaining the same mounting dimensions as the CY1 series, bearing performance is significantly improved, and sliding resistance is effectively reduced, achieving smoother and more efficient motion.
- The combination of a stainless steel cylinder tube and aluminum alloy end caps balances durability with lightweight construction.
- Magnetically Coupled Structure, Clean, Environmentally Friendly, and Leak-Free
- Utilizes magnetic coupling for power transmission. The cylinder tube is fully enclosed with no protruding piston rod, completely eliminating external dust ingress and lubricant leakage.
- Enables clean, environmentally friendly operation, particularly suitable for cleanrooms, dust-free environments, and medical/food industries sensitive to contamination.
- Direct Mount Type Design, Simplified Integration
- The “R” in the model number signifies Direct Mount Type. The cylinder body can be directly fixed to the equipment base without requiring additional mounting brackets, simplifying mechanical design and assembly processes.
- Flexible mounting orientation, supporting horizontal, inclined, and various vertical installation positions (note: intermediate stopping via pneumatic circuitry is not possible in vertical installation).
- Large Bore, Long Stroke, Powerful Transfer Capability
- With a bore size of Φ63mm, it provides a magnetic coupling holding force of 2256N under standard air supply, sufficient for stable handling of heavy workpieces.
- A stroke of 1000mm meets long-distance reciprocating transfer requirements, with stroke tolerance controlled within 0 to +1.4mm.
- M9PL High-Performance Solid-State Magnetic Switch, Intelligent and Precise
- Standardly equipped with two M9PL type solid-state magnetic switches for non-contact precise detection and feedback of the piston position.
- M9P Series Features:
- 3-wire PNP output for easy direct connection with various PLC control systems.
- Equipped with an indicator lamp for clear operational status.
- Solid-state electronic type, contactless, long life, fast response, vibration resistant.
- Applicable loads: IC circuits, relays, PLCs, etc.
- Switch lead wire length needs to be confirmed separately (the “L” in M9PL indicates a 3m lead wire), facilitating long-distance signal transmission.
- Wide Operating Condition Adaptability, Stable Performance
- Operating pressure range: 0.12 to 0.7 MPa, with a minimum operating pressure of only 0.12MPa for sensitive low-pressure startup.
- Ambient temperature: -10 to 60°C, suitable for most industrial environments.
- Equipped with rubber cushioning to effectively absorb impact at stroke ends.
