SMC 10-CXSL15-10-Y7PWSAPC | Clean Room Dual Rod Cylinder CXS Series 15mm Bore 10mm Stroke Ball Bushing Guide Linear Slide Table

The SMC 10-CXSL15-10-Y7PWSAPC is a clean room specification dual rod cylinder from the CXS series with a 15mm bore and 10mm stroke. Part number decoded: CXS = compact dual rod cylinder (slide table type), L = ball bushing guide type (higher precision than plain bearing), 15 = bore mm, 10 = stroke mm, Y7PWSAPC = combination option code including specific switch, cable, and connector configurations. The CXS series provides a guided slide table platform that prevents rod rotation and delivers precise, repeatable linear motion.

What makes the CXS dual rod design different from single-rod cylinders? The dual rod configuration uses two parallel guide rods flanking the piston rod, creating a rigid slide table that resists moment loads and prevents rotation. The L (ball bushing) guide type provides smoother operation and higher positioning accuracy than plain bearing guides, making this ideal for precision placement, inspection probe positioning, sensor scanning, and fine adjustment operations in clean room semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. The 15mm bore generates approximately 106N at 0.6 MPa through a short 10mm stroke.

The Y7PWSAPC suffix designates a pre-configured option package — consult SMC documentation for the exact switch type, cable length, and connector specification included. For plain bearing guide at lower cost, specify CXSM15-10 (M = slide bearing). For longer strokes at 15mm bore, CXS variants are available in 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, and longer options. For larger bore dual rod slides, the CXSL20 and CXSL32 increase force output. Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1. RoHS compliant.
