Floating Bracket Easy connection with external guide. Vertical and lateral mounting is possible. (Page 24) Stroke Adjustment Unit (MY3A/3B) (MY3B/3M) Side Support The cylinder tube can be fixed from the upper or lower side. (Page 23, 37) Auto Switch Centralized Piping Integrated piping in the head cover is possible. (Page 20, 21, 35) Can be mounted on both sides from the front direction. The uniquely designed piston shape enables reduction of the height and length as well as practical arrangement of the common piping passages, cushion mechanism and positioning mechanism. This has achieved drastic...

Model Selection The following are steps for selecting the MY3 series which is best suited to your application. Guideline for Tentative Model Selection O Most suitable O Suitable A Usable X Not recommended Note 1 ) The table accuracy means the amount of table deflection when a moment Is applied. Note 2) Travelling parallelism Is not guaranteed for this cylinder. Please consult with SMC If the travelling parallelism or stroke Intermediate position needs to be precise. Selection Flow Chart When an external guide is used, the selection confirmation of the guide capacity should follow the selection...

Model Selection Seríes MY3 Maximum operating speed Reduction circuits or shock absorbers may be necessary. If the driven object is fast, or the weight is large, the cylinder cushion alone may not be able to absorb the Impact. In this case, install a reduction circuit before the cushion, or Install an external shock absorber to reduce the Impact. Please check the machine's rigidity as well. * External shock absorbers must meet the characteristics listed on page 11. Cylinders may be dam- aged If shock absorbers that do not have the recommended characteristics are used. Stroke positioning Shock...

Types of Moment and Load Weight Applied to Rodless Cylinders Multiple moments may be generated depending on the mounting orientation, load and position of the center of gravity. Load Weight and Static Moment Note) nu is a weight movable by thrust. Use 0.3 to 0.7 times the thrust (differs depending on the operating speed) as a guide for actual Dynamic Moment Note) Regardless of the mounting orientation, dynamic moment is calculated with the formulae above. Calculation of Guide Load Factor 1. Maximum load weight (1 ), static moment (2), and dynamic moment (3) (at the time of impact with stopper)...

Specific Product Precautions Be sure to read before handling. Refer to back cover for the Safety Instructions, "Handling Precautions for SMC Products" (M-E03-3) and the Operation Manual for Actuators and Auto Switches Precautions. 1. When applying a load directly, set the design so that all the mounting threads on the slide table's upper surface are used. Parts have been made smaller to achieve a compact size. If only some of the threads are used when mounting the load, the impact that results from the operation may cause extreme- ly concentrated stress or disfiguration and may negatively af-...
