MGCM Compact External Guided Cylinder, Slide Bearing
The MGCM integrates a round body cylinder for its power source with external guide rods to isolate the load bearing from the movement of the actuator's rod and seals for a compact and light weight unit. The carbon steel alloy slide bearing provides lateral stability protecting it from side load impacts. It is designed with air cushions at the end of stroke for maximum kinetic energy absorption. Non-rotating accuracy ranging from +/-0.04° for 50 mm bore to +/-0.07° for 20 mm bore. Air cushions as standard.
- Bore sizes: 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 mm
- Available in basic or front flange mounting
- Adjustable stroke option, extent cycle (XC8)
- Adjustable stroke option, retract cycle (XC9)
- Dual stroke option, single rod (XC11)
- Auto switch capable
MGCL, Compact External Guided Cylinder, Ball Bushing Bearing
The MGCL integrates a round body cylinder for its power source with external guide rods to isolate the load bearing from the movement of the actuator's rod and seals for a compact and light weight unit. The high precision ball bushing allows for smooth operation that ensures stable travel resistance. It is designed with air cushions at the end of stroke for maximum kinetic energy absorption. Non-rotating accuracy ranging from +/-0.04° for 50 mm bore to +/-0.07° for 20 mm bore. Air cushions as standard.
- Bore sizes: 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 mm
- Available in basic or front flange mounting
- Adjustable stroke option, extent cycle (XC8)
- Adjustable stroke option, retract cycle (XC9)
- Dual stroke option, single rod (XC11)
- Auto switch capable
MLGC, Compact External Guide Cylinder with Fine Lock
The MLGC integrates a round body, fine locking cylinder for its power source with external guide rods to combine for a compact, light weight unit. Its fine lock mechanism can lock at mid-stroke, either in the extend or retract stroke cycle. The fine lock mechanism can be activated either by a spring force, as a drop prevention measure when air pressure is lost, or actived pneumatically with pressurized air to lock the rod position into place for holidng a work piece. Both spring and pneumatic locking mechanism can be used in one unit. It is designed with air cushions at the end of stroke for maximum kinetic energy absorption. The (L) high precision ball bushing allows for smooth operation that ensures stable travel resistance, suitable for pushing and lifting applications. The (M) carbon steel alloy slide bearing provides lateral stability protecting it from side load impacts, suitable for stopping applications.
- Bore sizes: 20, 25, 32, 40 mm
- Available in spring, pneumatic or both locking mechanisms
- Available in basic or front flange mounting
- Lockable in either extend or retract stroke
- Air cushion as standard
- Auto switch capable
