SMC MLGCMB40TN-200-E-M9PSDPC Mlgc, Guide Cylinder/Fine Lock

The SMC MLGCMB40TN-200-E-M9PSDPC Mlgc, Guide Cylinder/Fine Lock is engineered for precision and reliability in demanding industrial applications. This advanced guide cylinder integrates a round body with a fine locking mechanism, offering a compact and lightweight solution for various automation tasks. The unit features external guide rods that enhance stability and precision, making it ideal for environments where space and weight are critical factors. The fine lock mechanism of the MLGCMB40TN-200-E-M9PSDPC is designed to lock at mid-stroke, providing flexibility in both the extend and retract stroke cycles. This dual locking capability is crucial for applications requiring precise control and safety, such as in automated assembly lines or robotic systems. The lock can be activated by a spring force, serving as a fail-safe to prevent drops when air pressure is lost, or pneumatically, allowing for secure positioning of the rod to hold workpieces firmly in place. Engineered with air cushions at the end of the stroke, this guide cylinder maximizes kinetic energy absorption, reducing wear and tear and extending the lifespan of the unit. The high precision ball bushing (L) ensures smooth operation with stable travel resistance, making it suitable for pushing and lifting applications where consistent performance is essential. Additionally, the carbon steel alloy slide bearing (M) provides lateral stability, protecting the unit from side load impacts, which is particularly beneficial in stopping applications. This guide cylinder is an optimal choice for engineers and manufacturing professionals seeking a robust, versatile, and efficient solution for their automation needs. Its design and functionality cater to a wide range of industrial applications, ensuring reliability and precision in every operation.
