Cylinder with ball spline MXH MXS ■Series Variations Model Female thread (Standard) Male thread (Option) Rubber bumper

Precision Cylinder Non-rotating accuracy: 0.1° or less (0.2° or less for ø8, within allowable torque values) MTS8  Short mounting pitch: 15 mm 22 Small size ø8 introduced to series  Rod through-hole allows vacuum piping (Made-to-order). Lifting and transfer of small electronic parts is possible with short mounting pitch.  Uses new type compact auto switches (ø8 only).  Piping is possible from two directions. Two auto switches can be mounted even with the minimum 5 stroke (mm). Mounting space reduced Standard: Rod end female threads Option: Rod end male thread (Using stud bolt) Auto switch...

Application Example Picking & placing (For MTS12-25, within allowable lateral load values) Reduced labor for design and assembly Mounting is possible in high accuracy. Parallelism of mounting surfaces (side, bottom) to rod: 0.1 mm or less Squareness of mounting surface (front) to rod: 0.1 mm or less (ø8 equipped with rubber bumper) Rear end lock type added to series (ø12 to ø40) Sealing and durability equivalent to current round rod models have been achieved with a specially configured rod seal. Stroke adjustment mechanism/ Made to Order Specifications Stroke adjustment is possible on the rod...

I MTS Series Model Selection A Caution output is required separately. Refer to “Theoretical Output” on page 385. Selection Conditions/Follow the tables below in order to determine selection conditions and choose one selection graph. Vertical Mounting Stroke (mm) Selection 08 graph 012 to 040 Horizontal Mounting Mounting orientation * L: Overhang The distance between the cylinder’s central axis and the load center of gravity A Caution • In the case of horizontal mounting, when the load center of gravity is beyond the rod end, add that distance to the stroke to select a graph. Selection Example...

Displacement angle of spline rod due to torque load The displacement angle when a static load is applied in the direction of the arrow, with the spline rod retracted.

Deflection Amount Deflection Displacement of spline rod due to pitch moment load Displacement of the rod end when a static load is applied in the direction of the arrow, with the spline rod fully extended. 1. Displacement may increase after an impact load has been applied. 25st If an impact load is applied to the spline rod, the guide unit may be permanently deformed and displacement may increase.

Precision Cylinder Number of auto switches Auto switch Nil Without auto switch (Built-in magnet) ∗ For the applicable auto switch model, refer to the table below. Port thread type Nil Refer to page 385 for the made-to-order types. Standard piping type Axial piping type Piping direction Bore size For ø8 cylinders with auto switch, some auto switches cannot be mounted depending on piping direction and stroke size. Refer to “Auto Switch Mounting Stroke for ø8” on page 394. Cylinder stroke (mm) Refer to “Standard Stroke” on page 385. None (Standard) With head end lock Rod end female thread (Standard)...

Precision Cylinder MTS Series Made to Order Specifications (For details, refer to pages 1247 to 1440.) Standard Stroke * Strokes other than the above are produced upon receipt of order. Stud Bolt Part No. * Replacement parts for rod end male thread. * Rod end nut is attached. Mounting • When attaching or removing loads, be sure to do so while securing the spline rod's width across flats and not to apply a rotating torque on the spline nut. If rotational torque must be applied due to unavoidable circumstances, use the table below to make sure the allowable rotational torque is not exceeded. *...
