Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document provides detailed specifications and features of the Series MXP Precision Air Slide Table, with a focus on the new size ø8. It includes information on mounting options, materials, and operational capabilities.

Specifications
The MXP series includes sizes ø6, ø8, ø10, ø12, and ø16, made from martensitic stainless steel for high rigidity and precision. They are double-acting with an operating pressure range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.05 MPa. The temperature range is -10 to 60°C, with a piston speed of 50 to 500 mm/s.

Features
The series offers flexible mounting from three directions and various piping methods, with options for rubber stoppers, metal stoppers, and shock absorbers. The stroke adjuster allows for a range of 0 to 5 mm, enhancing precision. The cylinder is integrated into the linear guide rail for a compact design.

Auto Switch Options
Various auto switch variations are available, including reed and solid-state switches with two-color indication. These can be mounted on the slide tables, except for the MXP6 and MXP8 models, which do not support shock absorbers.

Performance and Load Calculations
Formulas and tables for calculating kinetic energy, load factors, static and dynamic moments, and allowable load weights are provided. It emphasizes that the sum of load factors should not exceed 1 for safe operation.

Model Selection and Ordering
Guidelines for selecting the appropriate model based on operating conditions, mounting orientation, and load requirements are included, along with a detailed ordering guide specifying options for bore size, stroke, and adjuster types.

Conclusion
The Series MXP Precision Air Slide Table is designed for high precision and flexibility in various industrial applications, suitable for demanding environments due to its robust construction and versatile features.

Basic Wiring and Connection Examples
Examples of basic wiring configurations for solid-state switches, including 3-wire NPN and PNP configurations, as well as 2-wire connections, are provided. Specifications for sink and source input, and calculations for load voltage at ON and OFF states are included.

Auto Switch Specifications
Specifications for various auto switch models, including D-A90, D-A93, D-A96, and D-M9 series, are outlined, detailing applicable load, load voltage, maximum load current, and internal resistance.

Operating Precautions
Guidelines emphasize using correct screws for mounting switches and ensuring compatibility with pneumatic systems. Trained personnel should handle pneumatic equipment.

Made-to-Order Specifications
Specifications for made-to-order applications, such as anti-rust guides and heat-treated metal stopper bolts, are included, detailing bore sizes, fluid types, and speed ranges.

Safety Instructions
Safety instructions categorize potential hazards into 'Caution', 'Warning', and 'Danger' levels, stressing the importance of compatibility with pneumatic systems and trained personnel operation.

Actuator Precautions
Warnings about potential dangerous actions by air cylinders if machinery parts are twisted due to external forces are provided, advising smooth operation adjustments.

Design Considerations

Protective measures should be in place to prevent personal injury from moving parts.
Install deceleration circuits or shock absorbers for high-speed or heavy-load operations.
Plan for emergency stops and ensure machinery design prevents injury or damage upon restart.

Specifications and Usage

Confirm product specifications and ensure usage within specified pressure and temperature ranges.
Operate within the maximum usable stroke to prevent piston rod damage.

Mounting and Installation

Align rod shaft centers with load direction to prevent damage from friction.
Verify proper operation after installation, repairs, or modifications.

Piping and Air Supply

Clean pipes before connection and use clean air free from chemicals or corrosive gases.

Operating Environment

Avoid using equipment in corrosive environments and protect from dust, water, or oil splashes.

Maintenance

Follow maintenance procedures to prevent malfunction or damage.

Auto Switch Precautions

Maintain a minimum separation of 40 mm between actuators to prevent magnetic interference.

Wiring Precautions

Ensure correct wiring to prevent damage to switches, especially reed switches.

Mounting and Adjustment

Avoid environments with excessive impact or surge generation.

Operating Environment

Avoid explosive, magnetic, or water-laden environments.

Maintenance

Regularly check and tighten mounting screws and inspect lead wires for damage.

Selection and Usage

Select models based on load weight and allowable moment.

Specific Product Precautions

Do not scratch or damage mounting surfaces.

Adjuster Option Handling

Do not adjust the shock absorber's bottom screw.
