MY1B Series Type Basic Mechanical Joint Rodless Cylinders – Compact & Versatile Linear Motion

• Fluid: Compressed Air (typically filtered)
• Action: Double Acting
• Guidance Type: Basic Type (typically no built-in precision guides; relies on external guidance)
• Operating Pressure Range: E.g., 0.1 MPa to 0.8 MPa (approx. 1 to 8 bar); refer to product manual for specifics.
• Proof Pressure: Usually around 1.5 times the maximum operating pressure (e.g., 1.2 MPa or 1.5 MPa).
• Ambient and Fluid Temperature: E.g., -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F) (non-freezing); confirm specific range.
• Lubrication: Most models are designed for non-lube operation; follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Magnetic Switch: Standard configuration usually includes a built-in magnet for various types of magnetic switches.

Performance Parameters:

• Piston Speed: Wide range, e.g., 50 to 1000 mm/s (actual speed depends on load, air pressure, piping, and cushion settings).
• Cushioning:
  • Standard: Adjustable air cushion at both ends.
  • Some models or smaller bores may use rubber bumpers.
  • For high-speed or high-load applications, use in conjunction with external shock absorbers (e.g., hydraulic shock absorbers) is recommended.
• Stroke Length Range:
  • Extensive range of standard strokes, from tens of millimeters to several meters (e.g., up to 2000mm, with some bore sizes supporting up to 5000mm via special options).

Construction & Mounting:

• Available Bore Sizes: E.g., ø10mm, ø16mm, ø20mm, ø25mm, ø32mm, ø40mm, ø50mm, ø63mm, ø80mm, ø100mm, etc.
• Port Thread Types: Vary with bore size, e.g., M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2, etc. (or Rc, NPT threads).
• Mounting Options: The cylinder body itself usually offers multiple mounting interfaces or T-slots, allowing flexible installation with various mounting feet, flanges, and other accessories (e.g., top mount, bottom mount, side mount).

Load & Guidance:

• Allowable Load & Moment: As a basic type cylinder, the MY1B series has limited capacity for its carriage to directly withstand complex offset loads and significant moments. When substantial side loads, offset loads are present, or when high motion accuracy is required, it is essential to use an external linear guidance system. The cylinder primarily provides the axial thrust. The selection of the external guide will determine the overall system’s load capacity and precision.

Application & Selection Guidance

• Due to their space-saving nature and long-stroke capabilities, MY1B series type rodless cylinders are widely used in packaging machinery, material conveying, printing equipment, woodworking machinery, textile machinery, and various automated production lines for pushing, pulling, and positioning tasks.
• When selecting, first choose an appropriate bore size based on the required thrust, then determine the stroke.
• Critically Important: Based on the actual load conditions in the application (weight, center of gravity, motion acceleration, external forces, etc.), an appropriate external guidance mechanism must be designed and selected.
• Evaluate operating speed and load to choose the correct cushioning method; consider adding external shock absorbers at stroke ends or critical positions if necessary.
• Consider if position feedback is needed and select suitable magnetic switches and their mounting.
