SMC Automation: MXQ A, Precision Slide Table (Recirculating Bearings) – Standard Double Ported

December 11, 2020

The MXQ A is the newest generation of precision slide tables integrated with hardened stainless steel guides and rails to isolate the load bearing from the movement of the dual rods and piston seals. Its recirculating ball bearings are matched by size to each slide table with a slight negative clearance resulting in greater accuracy. The MXQ’s thinly formed special stainless steel slide table reduces thickness allowing for a larger guide pitch providing high rigidity. The slide table’s reduced weigh also increases allowable kinetic energy. The stoppers and shock absorbers are positioned at the center axis to minimize load deflection. The dowel pin holes positioned on the center axis standardizes mounting conditions for the basic and symmetric styles. The end lock option prevents the slide table from dropping in vertical applications, enhancing safety in the event of air pressure loss.

  •    –   Bore sizes: 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 25 mm
  •    –   Repeatable positioning accuracy: +/-0.05 mm
  •    –   Stroke adjuster options: rubber, metal stopper or shock absorber
  •    –   End lock option in the event of air pressure loss
  •    –   PTFE grease or food grade grease option
  •    –   RoHS compliant
  •    –   Auto switch capable
