Smc Pneumatics MXH16-50Z Rodless Slide Air Cylinder

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS MXH16-50Z is a double acting compact air slide table cylinder designed for linear positioning and light-load transport applications in pneumatic automation systems. It features a 16 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke, with M5 x 0.80 port connections on both ends to support bidirectional actuation. The cylinder operates at a maximum working pressure of 102 psi and is rated for temperatures from 14 degrees F to 158 degrees F. Pneumatic system integrators, automation technicians, and mechanical engineers typically install and service this type of component in industrial and light manufacturing environments.

This compact air slide table is suited for tight-space automation cells where a conventional rod-style cylinder cannot be used. Its low-profile rodless design makes it appropriate for pick-and-place fixtures, guided linear motion stages, and small part transfer assemblies in both OEM machine builds and field installations. The overall envelope measures 106 mm in length, 53.5 mm in height, and 25 mm in width, keeping the footprint minimal on crowded mounting surfaces.

Key Features

• Double acting cylinder provides positive force in both extend and retract directions
• 16 mm bore with 50 mm stroke for compact linear travel
• M5 x 0.80 port size compatible with standard miniature pneumatic fittings
• Maximum working pressure of 102 psi suits standard shop-air supply systems
• Operating temperature range of 14 degrees F to 158 degrees F for varied industrial environments
• Compact slide table profile supports guided load applications without a separate guide rail

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for compact pneumatic slide table assemblies requiring a 16 mm bore double acting cylinder with M5 port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automation or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic supply line before mounting or replacing this cylinder. Ensure port fittings are torqued to the fitting manufacturer's specification and that air lines are free of contamination before pressurizing. Verify that mounting surface alignment is within tolerance to prevent side-loading the slide table during operation.
