Compact cylinder series CLQ, although equipped with locking function, is designed to minimize the overall length. Overall length of the model is achieved to be the same as that of the CQ2 compact cylinder. CLQ is available in 5 bore sizes ranging from 40 to 100mm and is auto switch capable.
Following automobile industry requests for a lightweight small cylinder with a simple lock function. SMC Pneumatics, the world leading automation control experts, are pleased to announce the launch of their latest range of compact cylinders with both lock and air cushion – series RLQ. Developed to provide the safety of drop prevention, at any point of the stroke, should the air supply be cut off, series RLQ benefits from additional features such as its own built in air cushion, standardized bypass piping and home position holding function. Also with the air cushion and lock unit contained inside the cylinder, the RLQ series offers similar space saving dimensions to SMC's existing compact CQ2 range. The new series RLQ is the perfect solution for applications which require larger kinetic energy, high stroke repeatability and decreased sound levels.Series RLQ, is currently available in bore sizes of 32, 40, 50 and 63mm, with standard stroke options of between 20 – 100mm, series
CNA2 is a switchover from existing model CNA. It incorporates the features of the existing product plus improvements in several aspects such us increased cushion capacity, service life and lighter weight.CNA2 is applicable in any application requiring a locking cylinder: intermediate stops, emergency stops, drop prevention.
If you are looking for a compact Clamp Cylinder with lock then simply look no further than our newly improved Series CLK2 range. Fully interchangeable with our existing CLK1 products, these clamp cylinders have 2mm shorter cylinder lengths and improved cover configuration. Available with NPT Thread options as standard, these cylinders can be connected from 3 different piping port positions. With their improved lock opening performance, which enables easier assembly and maintenance, our CLK2 Series are the perfect choice for holding applications in either a clamped or unclamped state.
Greater locking efficiency as well as stable locking and unlocking operation has been achieved with the CNG cylinder series by arranging a large number of steel ball bearings in circular rows. The floating taper ring provides alignment and stable locking force with respect to piston rod eccentricity. Unlocking pressure of 0.25MPa (0.05MPa lower than conventional SMC product).
The CLJ2 offers a brake mechanism to stop the position rod at any position while retracting or extending. Choose from three different brake mechanisms to select the unit best suited for your application. Compact and lightweight, the CLJ2 is part of SMC's CJ2 product line.
The series CLM2 offers a brake mechanism to stop the piston rod at any position while retracting or extending. With three different brake mechanisms and four bore sizes available, SMC gives you the choice of the best unit for your application. The compact and lightweight CLM2 is a part of the CM2 product line.
The CL1 series lock-up cylinder is a self-locking style that contains a ring that is tilted by a spring force, which is further tilted by the load that is applied to the cylinder, thus locking the piston rod. This cylinder is suitable for intermediate stops, emergency stops, or for drop prevention.
The series CLG1 is provided with a compact locking mechanism that locks in both directions. The piston rod can be locked in either direction of its cylinder stroke. It is suitable for intermediate stops, for emergency stops, and for drop prevention. The CLG1 fine lock cylinder is part of SMC's CG1 cylinder series.
The MGC guide cylinder is ideal for material handling applications involving stopping, lifting, and pushing. It combines the functions of a conventional linear cylinder, and a non-rotation device. Features include standard air cushions, grease nipple, and switch capability. Other features include, slide or ball bushing bearings, compact design, adjustable air cushion, and lightweight guided actuator.
The CLS series cylinder with lock is ideal for applications requiring intermediate and emergency stop and drop prevention. The compact lock unit is lightweight and saves space. A switch is optional on the brake cylinder so the operating state of the lock unit (brake piston) can be detected using the switch signal. By separating the lock mechanism and the brake cylinder, SMC has minimized the influences of unlocking air quality such as moisture and condensation.
The CNS series cylinder with lock is ideal for applications requiring intermediate and emergency stop and drop prevention. The compact lock unit saves space and the enclosed construction and separation of the lock mechanism and the unlocking piston chamber minimizes the influences of poor air quality.
