MXY6-50-M9PW: High-Rigidity Slide Table Cylinder, Integrated Precision Transfer Unit

Product Positioning
The MXY6-50-M9PW is a high-rigidity slide table cylinder (compact slide table) from SMC’s MXY series, featuring a double-acting design and high-precision linear guides. It highly integrates the drive cylinder with precision guides to form a high-rigidity, high-precision linear motion unit capable of directly carrying workpieces. Renowned for its excellent displacement accuracy, moment resistance, and compact profile, the MXY series is widely used in various scenarios requiring precise linear motion, such as electronic assembly, precision transfer, inspection equipment, and automated production lines.

Model Number Deep Dive
Based on SMC’s nomenclature, the meaning of MXY6-50-M9PW is interpreted as follows:

Core Highlights: High Rigidity, High Precision, Integration

• Integrated Linear Guide, High Rigidity and Moment Resistance
  • Utilizes an endless track linear guide integrated with the cylinder body, highly integrating the guiding mechanism with the drive unit.
  • Compared to traditional slide bushings, the linear guide can withstand significantly higher radial loads and moments, offering excellent moment resistance and superior displacement accuracy, ensuring smooth and precise motion even under load.
• Precision Guidance, High Non-Rotating Accuracy
  • Thanks to the constraint of the precision guide, the non-rotating accuracy of the piston rod (or slide table) is extremely high, effectively preventing rotation of the end effector during motion and ensuring consistent gripping or positioning orientation.
• Compact Design, Space Saving
  • The series is known for its compact, narrow profile, allowing multiple slide tables to be installed in parallel in limited spaces, greatly enhancing equipment layout flexibility.
  • Supports cylinder mounting in 4 directions and piping from 3 sides, offering significant freedom for system integration.
• Powerful Drive, Strong Load Capacity
  • Bore size Φ6mm provides stable output thrust within a compact volume (theoretical thrust approx. 28N at 0.5MPa).
  • Compared to previous generation products, it offers higher load capacity and longer standard strokes (max. 60mm for this bore size).
• M9PW High-Performance Solid-State Magnetic Switch, Intelligent and Precise
  • Standardly equipped with M9PW type solid-state magnetic switch for non-contact precise detection and feedback of piston position.
  • M9P Series Features:
    • 3-wire PNP output for easy direct connection with PLC control systems.
    • Equipped with an indicator lamp for clear operational status.
    • Solid-state electronic type, contactless, long life, fast response, vibration resistant.
    • Longitudinal mount type saves installation space, convenient for layout in compact arrangements.
  • Switch lead wire length needs to be confirmed based on specific configuration.
