MXQ12L-40B Slide Table

Product Positioning
The MXQ12L-40B is a twin-bore, symmetric type air slide table from SMC’s MXQ series. It features an integrated design combining a recirculating linear guide and dual cylinders. It highly integrates the driving force of two cylinders with the guidance capability of a precision guide, forming a high-rigidity, high-precision linear motion unit capable of directly carrying workpieces. This product is designed for precision assembly, workpiece transfer, and positioning applications in automation. Its symmetric structure and powerful output force make it an ideal choice for fields like electronics assembly, medical devices, and precision machinery.

Core Highlights: Twin Bore Delivers Double the Force, Symmetric High Rigidity

• Twin Bore Design, Double the Output Force
  • Employs a dual cylinder structure with a piston bore of 12mm x 2, equivalent to the output capacity of a single 17mm bore cylinder, providing twice the output force.
  • At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, theoretical thrust is 113 N (extend) / 85 N (retract); at 0.7 MPa, it reaches 158 N (extend) / 119 N (retract), meeting medium-load precision handling needs.
• Recirculating Linear Guide, High Rigidity and Precision
  • Utilizes a recirculating linear guide integrated with the slide table, achieving high rigidity and high precision linear motion.
  • Features high non-rotating accuracy and effectively absorbs external moments, ensuring the end effector maintains a precise姿态 throughout motion, ideal for precision assembly.
• Symmetric Design for Flexible Installation
  • The “L” in the model denotes Symmetric Type. The slide table has a symmetrical structure on both sides, facilitating installation and piping from multiple directions, greatly enhancing layout flexibility in complex equipment.
• Adjustable Shock Absorbers at Both Ends for Smooth Stopping
  • The suffix “B” represents Adjuster Both Ends. These effectively absorb impact energy at the end of piston strokes, ensuring smooth stops and protecting the cylinder and load equipment.
• Built-in Magnet for Intelligent Control
  • The cylinder body has a built-in magnet, allowing easy selection of auto switches for non-contact detection and feedback of the slide table position, facilitating integration with control systems like PLCs.
• Compact and Lightweight, Space-Saving
  • The integrated design of the worktable and cylinder results in a compact unit, achieving high-precision linear motion within limited spaces.
