MXS12-50AS-A93: High-Rigidity Pneumatic Slide Table, Precision Transfer Expert with Cross-Roller Guide

Product Positioning
The MXS12-50AS-A93 is a double-bore, high-rigidity pneumatic slide table from SMC’s MXS series, featuring a double-rod, double-acting design. Its most distinctive feature is the use of a cross-roller guide, achieving backlash-free smooth motion and extremely high rigidity. It integrates the table and cylinder into a compact unit, making it ideal for high-precision linear transfer applications such as precision assembly, electronic component handling, and medical devices.

Core Highlights: Cross-Roller Guide, Double-Bore for Double Force, Stroke Adjustment at Extension End

• Cross-Roller Guide for High Rigidity and Precision
  Utilizes a cross-roller guide as the guiding mechanism. Compared to plain bearings or circulating ball guides, it offers higher rigidity and lower friction, enabling backlash-free, smooth motion.
  Provides extremely high non-rotational accuracy, effectively absorbing external moments to ensure the end effector maintains precise posture throughout movement, ideal for precision alignment and assembly.
• Double-Bore Design for Double Output Force
  Employs a dual-cylinder structure, providing double the theoretical output force of a single-rod cylinder with the same bore size.
  Bore size: Φ12mm; operating pressure range: 0.15 to 0.7 MPa; maximum load mass when mounted horizontally: 1 to 4.9 kg, suitable for medium-load precision handling.
• AS-Type Stroke Adjuster: Extension End Adjuster
  The “A” in the model number represents an extension end adjuster, allowing fine adjustment of the stroke at the slide table’s forward end (adjustment range typically 0-5mm), facilitating on-site tuning and precise positioning.
• A93 High-Function Magnetic Switch for Intelligent Precision
  Comes standard with A93 type non-contact magnetic switches (2 units) for precise non-contact detection and feedback of the slide table position.
  A93 features: 2-wire non-contact type with indicator light for clear operational status; cable length 0.5m, horizontally引出; applicable voltage DC24V, directly connectable to control systems like PLCs.
• Detailed Specifications
  Slide dimensions: Length 103 mm, Width 50 mm, Height 32 mm.
  Slide material/finish: Aluminum alloy / Hard anodized.
  Theoretical thrust: 113 N extending, 85 N retracting at 0.5MPa (calculated based on 12mm bore).
  Port size: M5×0.8.
