Note 1): Endlock
Mounted onto the rear face of the cylinder, this automatically operating lock
engages when the MXS is in the retracted position to prevent the load from
moving in the event of air failure or machine shutdown. Usually used when
the MXS is mounted vertically with a suspended load.
Note 2): Axial Piping
Allows piping through the rear face of the MXS (opposite the piston rod)
instead of the body side adjacent to the piston.
Note 3): End of stroke buffer.
Spring loaded workpiece mounting plate for obstacle detection and
protection of workpiece. An autoswitch can be mounted to indicate
operation of the buffer, operated by a magnet on the piston. By reversing
the direction of the switch, NO or NC operation is achievable.
*End lock option is not available for MXS6

Caution on designing
1Use of the cylinder exceeding the limit of
the allowable moment applies excessive
unbalanced load to the table guide,
causing excessive play of the table,
deterioration of accuracy, and other
adverse effects on the service life.
2 Too fast piston speed increases impact
that acts on the table guide and thus
shortens the service life. Connect a speed
controller to control the speed in the
meterout method according to the
condition of operation.
3Use a stroke adjuster when positioning is
required at the stroke end.
Piping for air slide table
No lubrication is required for the inside of the cylinder tube. However, when lubrication is
desired, use turbine oil Class 1(ISO VG32). (Machine oil or spindle oil is not allowed.)
The table is supported by precision
bearings. Be careful not to apply strong
impact or excessive moment when
mounting works.
Mount works while the table is retracted
(Backward end)
Select the best method for connection
with load having a supporting/guiding
mechanism on its outside. Alignment
should be complete.
Scratches or dents on the sliding section
of the piston rod cause malfunction or air
leakage.
ALLOWABLE STATIC MOMENT
FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF ALLOWABLE STATIC LOAD, FP, FYAND FR
When pitch moment is applied When yaw moment is applied When roll moment is applied
AIR SLIDE TABLE MOUNTING
The air slide table can be mounted in three directions. Select the best direction according to the machine and work to be used.
1 Lateral mounting (Body tapping) 2 Lateral mounting (Body through hole) 3 Axial mounting (Body tapping)
WORK MOUNTING
Works can be mounted on two sides of the air slide table.
1 Front face mounting 2 Top face mounting
