Slide Table Actuator
Series MXS
The MXS slide table was a breakthrough product when it was first
introduced in 1993, and it is still SMC's best selling slide
series. Prior to the development of MXS, a systems integrator
or end user would combine a linear cylinder with a custom platform
mounted on a linear slide. The MXS combines these components
into a single actuator, eliminating cost, complexity, and design
time.
The MXS consists of dual bore pistons pushing a wide work table,
which is coupled to the aluminum body by a linear guide with cross
roller elements. The body provides mounting in three
directions from through or tapped holes. Grooves are provided
for flush mounted auto switches. The table provides two
surfaces, top and front, for mounting the work piece. Dowel
pin holes are included in the top surface for repeatability.
The cross roller linear guide provides moment loading resistance in
the pitch, roll, and yaw directions. Finally, dual pistons
provide twice the force of similarly sized cylinders.
