SMC MXS6-30 Practical Application Cases

MXS6-30 is a φ6 mm bore, 30 mm stroke air slide table with cross-roller guide. Compact size and good moment-resistance capability make it ideal for light-load short-stroke reciprocation. Max allowable horizontal load: приблизительно. 0.6 кг. Widely used in electronics, lithium-ion battery, inspection and small custom automation machines.

Случай1: Electronic component pick-and-place (Consumer electronics assembly machine)

Условия эксплуатации: Equipped with miniature pneumatic gripper. 30 mm horizontal reciprocation transfers small PCB components from feeder into positioning jig. Время цикла:1.2-2 s/cycle, load 150-250 g.

Selected Model: MXS6-30-M9BW, dual-end auto-switch position feedback.

Design Notes: Minimize overhang. Install flow control valves to set speed 150-250 mm/s to reduce impact. Mount gripper directly onto worktable; body fixed from bottom side.

Why MXS6-30: Superior lateral rigidity compared to MXS-U series. Stable repeatability for reciprocation. Space-saving alternative to servo modules for cost reduction.

Случай 2: Камера / Sensor feed positioning (Vision inspection equipment)

Условия эксплуатации: Drives industrial camera or laser sensor for 30 mm forward-backward offset to inspect workpieces of variable thickness. Stationary imaging at target position, low-frequency cycling.

Selected Model: MXS6-30AS (front-end stroke adjuster, 0-5 mm fine-tuning for inspection distance).

Примечания: Avoid long overhang; mount load close to worktable surface. Stabilize supply air pressure to minimize position deviation caused by pressure fluctuation.

Industry Usage: Connector appearance inspection, plastic part sorting machines.

Случай 3: Jig stop / Workpiece positioning (Conveyor line)

Условия эксплуатации: Stop and pre-position workpieces on conveyor. Slide extends to block workpiece; retracts to release after inspection. 30 mm stroke provides stop-and-clear function.

Selected Model: Standard MXS6-30 with D-A93 auto-switches.

Монтаж: Side-wall mounting to save vertical machine height.

Примечание: Only for light-workpiece stopping. Cannot sustain heavy impact; add dedicated bumper block for high-impact scenarios.

Случай 4: Mini-press-fit & connector insertion (Connector assembly equipment)

Условия эксплуатации: Light pre-press for small connectors and FPC flexible circuits. Slide extends for pre-compression and retracts for retraction. Theoretical extend thrust 27 N @0.5 MPa; suitable only for light-force pressing, not heavy press-fit tasks.

Selected Model: MXS6-30B (hydraulic shock absorber) for high-impact cycles to protect delicate connectors.

Напоминания: If higher pressing force is required, upgrade to MXS8-30.

Случай5: Small-format lithium-ion cell / electrode sorting mechanism

Условия эксплуатации: Divert qualified / NG miniature soft-pack cells into different bins via 30 mm horizontal push.

Selected Model: MXS6-30-M9N, non-lube design for low-oil-mist battery-plant environment.

Ограничения: Load ≤300 g. Long overhang will accelerate guide wear.

Случай 6: Reagent-card / Test-strip pushing for compact medical diagnostic equipment

Условия эксплуатации: Position reagent cards and test strips in light-load clean-environment setup. Non-lube operation eliminates oil-mist contamination risk.

Selected Model: Standard MXS6-30 with built-in magnet and solid-state auto-switches.

Примечание: Install air-line oil-mist remover for medical-grade air quality.

Дело 7: Single-axis for XY gantry (Compact 2-axis transfer platform)

Условия эксплуатации: MXS6-30 as X-axis stacked upon second slide table for simple pneumatic XY pick-and-place.

Примечания: Total mass of upper-axis assembly plus workpiece must not exceed allowable load of lower-axis. Avoid large overhang.

⚠️ Common Pitfalls for MXS6-30 Selection

1. Max allowable horizontal load 0.6 kg. Allowable load decreases sharply with longer overhang. Moment capacity, not raw thrust, is the primary limiting factor.
2. 30 mm is the optimal stroke for bore 6. Rigidity degrades significantly for stroke >40 мм.
3. For high-frequency cycling and impact-prone applications, choose -B hydraulic-shock-absorber variant; standard rubber bumpers degrade rapidly under continuous high-speed operation.
4. MXS6-30 vs MXQ6-30: MXS uses cross-roller guide with superior moment resistance. MXQ uses ball-bearing guide for lower friction but weaker anti-moment performance, suited for ultra-light-load duty.

SMC MXS6-30 Complete Mounting Instructions

MXS6-30 supports bottom-mount, side-mount and top-mount. Worktable for workpiece mounting; main body fixed to machine frame.

1. Thread Specifications & Tightening Torques (SMC factory specification)
2. Крепление кузова (fix cylinder body to machine frame)

Side mounting threads: M2.5×0.45, Max tightening torque 0.5 N·m, Max screw insertion depth 3.5 mm

⚠️Excess-length screws will compress internal guide assembly and cause jamming or permanent damage!

Bottom mounting threads: M2.5×0.45, Max torque 0.5 N·m

2. Worktable (mount fixture / заготовка)

Table tapped holes: М4×0,7, Max tightening torque 1.2 N·m

Worktable is moving cross-roller guide assembly. Never over-torque.

3. Air port thread

Порт: М3×0,5, compatible with miniature pneumatic fittings.

Важный: M2.5 screws require low torque value. Torque wrench recommended; не полагайтесь на ощупь.

2. Four Mounting Configurations

1) Bottom-mount (Наиболее распространенный, horizontal orientation)

Fasten screws upward through bottom-body tapped holes. Slide table faces upward, horizontal reciprocation.

Приложение: Transfer, push-pull, vision feed.

Преимущество: Best-case loading condition, maximum allowable load capacity.

Примечание: Screw insertion depth ≤3.5 mm. Do not contact internal guide components.

2) Side-mount (Wall-mount lateral installation)

Fasten into lateral body tapped holes. Slide table performs horizontal motion while unit stands on its side.

Приложение: Conveyor-line stop mechanisms, limited-height machine layout.

Side-mount increases applied moment. Derate allowable load. Mount workpieces as close to table surface as possible.

3) Top-mount (Накладные расходы / inverted mounting)

Fasten body from above. Cylinder hangs upside-down; worktable moves downwards.

Перевернутый монтаж: Workpiece weight fully loads guide system. Load must be derated. Not suitable for high-speed high-cycle operation.

4) Vertical-axis mounting (Up-down motion)

Slide travel oriented vertically. Worktable moves up and down.

❗Risk: Workpiece weight directly alters cushioning performance. Flow-control valves mandatory for low-speed operation. Not for heavy payloads. Recommended vertical-mount payload ≤150 g.

3. Auto-Switch Installation
4. Auto-switches (D-M9BW / D-A93) install in T-slots on both sides of stationary body, not on moving worktable.
5. Loosen slot-clamping screw, slide auto-switch to desired trigger position, затянуть.
6. T-slots available on both sides; 1 или 2 auto-switches may be fitted.
7. Mounting Procedure
8. Pre-tighten all body-mount screws first, then progressively torque each screw to specified value. Do not fully tighten one screw before others, to avoid body distortion.
9. Mount workpiece onto worktable via M4 screws, observe torque limits.
10. Air test at 0.3-0.4 MPa for full-stroke smooth operation without sticking.

If jamming occurs: Almost always caused by screws inserted too deep compressing cross-roller guide; reduce screw insertion depth.

4. Install flow-control fittings; set piston speed not to exceed 500 mm/s.
5. Adjust auto-switch positions and confirm end-of-travel signal integrity.
6. Critical Mounting Prohibitions (Frequent Failure Sources)
7. Screw insertion depth must never exceed 3.5 mm. Over-length M2.5 screws will destroy guide assembly.
8. Do not apply lateral / transverse external forces to worktable; avoid shock-loading the slide.
9. Never strike body or worktable after installation; cross-roller pre-load will be lost, creating backlash.
10. Vertical-mount applications: Workpiece weight impairs rubber-bumper performance. Select -B hydraulic-shock-absorber model for frequent vertical cycling.
11. Do not specify load purely by thrust rating; calculate applied moment. Max allowable moment for MXS6-30: 1.2 Н·м.
