Air Slide Table, Single-Side Ported Type, MXQ□C Series

Caution
- [Operating pressure] 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (end lock: 0.35 to 0.7 MPa). See p. 70 in the SMC catalog for the minimum operating pressure for the metal stopper with bumper.
- [Maximum load weight] For shock absorbers, the values given are for horizontal types.
- Refer to the manufacturer's catalog for specification and material details.
- Product images may be representative images. Refer to the manufacturer's catalog for shape details.
Product Description
An air slid table with porting on one side.
[Features]
· The reduced table thickness reduces the overall height and weight.
· Improved allowable kinetic energy.
· The table shape was designed in consideration of functionality and maintenance.
· Mounting dimensions are the same as the conventional MXQ Series.
· A wide range of stroke adjusters (option).
· Shorter length table available.
· Good switch visibility. (Only for 8‑mm and 12‑mm diameters)
· Thinner design.

Using dual rods provides double the output of conventional cylinders.
When using a metal stopper with a bumper for positioning, the theoretical output differs by the force required to fully compress the bumper.
