SMC CXSM20-30A CXS series twin cylinders

Core Features

• ✓  Double Thrust: The dual-piston rod design delivers twice the thrust of a standard cylinder of the same diameter, resulting in greater output.
• ✓  High Torsional Resistance: Non-rotational accuracy up to ±0.1°, allowing direct resistance to lateral loads without the need for external guide rails.
• ✓  Three-Sided Mounting: Workpieces or accessories can be directly mounted on all three surfaces of the cylinder body, offering high flexibility.
• ✓  Pneumatic Cushioning: Utilizes a pneumatic cushioning system to effectively absorb the impact at the end of the piston's high-speed movement.

Q: What are the main application scenarios for the CXSM20-30A?

A: It is best suited for automated pick-and-place scenarios requiring linear push-pull motion and torsional resistance. Typical applications include:

Electronic assembly: Grabbing small PCB boards or components for positioning and assembly.

Inspection equipment: Pushing probes or sensors, requiring smooth, non-rotating movement.

Loading and unloading mechanisms: Picking up and placing workpieces from conveyor belts, using double thrust to clamp or push.

Q: Ordinary cylinders are also labeled with "non-rotational accuracy." What are the advantages of the CXS series?

A: The "non-rotational" accuracy of ordinary cylinders usually relies on the keyway fit between the piston rod and the cylinder head, resulting in low accuracy (approximately ±1°-±2°) and easy wear. The CXS series, however, uses a dual-rod + dedicated guide structure, integrating guidance and drive, achieving an accuracy of up to ±0.1°, and can withstand greater lateral loads, maintaining high accuracy even after long-term use.

Q: Can a magnetic switch be installed on the CXSM20-30A? Which model?

A: Yes, it can. This model has a built-in magnetic ring and can be fitted with an SMC magnetic switch for position detection. We recommend using SMC's D-M9 series (such as D-M9B, D-M9N, D-M9P) or A9 series, as well as the Y7BW, Y59A, Z73, and Z76 switch models listed in the specification sheet. You can specify the switch when ordering, such as CXSM20-30A-Z73L.
