Rodless Actuators
Rodless pneumatic actuators provide efficient linear motion while eliminating the need for an external piston rod, making them ideal for applications where space is limited. By utilizing an internal piston connected to an external carriage, these actuators deliver long strokes in a compact footprint while maintaining smooth, accurate movement.
Designed for industrial automation, material handling, packaging, assembly, and pick-and-place systems, rodless pneumatic actuators offer high load capacity, excellent repeatability, and reliable performance in demanding environments. Available in mechanically coupled and magnetically coupled designs, they can be configured with integrated guides, cushioning, position sensing, and mounting options to meet a wide range of application requirements.
Rodless Cylinder Magnetically Coupled
A rodless cylinder with magnetic coupling differs from a basic air cylinder in that no piston rod extends outside the cylinder body. Instead, the internal piston is connected to an external carriage. SMC's rodless cylinders are ideal for long stroke applications because they are unaffected by rod overhang, bending, piston binding, and uneven seal wear, and for use in confined areas where space is a premium.
Rodless Cylinder Mechanically Jointed
A rodless cylinder with mechanical joining differs from a basic air cylinder in that no piston rod extends outside the cylinder body. Instead, the internal piston is connected to an external carriage. SMC's rodless cylinders are ideal for long stroke applications because they are unaffected by rod overhang, bending, piston binding, and uneven seal wear, and for use in confined areas where space is a premium.
