Low Friction

The MQQ cylinder is a compact, low friction cylinder designed for low pressure, low speed, uniform speed or low friction applications. MQQ is available as standard or a lateral load resisting type (with built-in ball bushings). Bore sizes range from 10mm to 28mm and strokes are available up to 100mm.

Series MQM is a lateral load resisting, low friction, compact cylinder for low to high speeds. The metal seal construction with low operating resistance allows actuation in speed and output control ranges that are impossible for ordinary cylinders. The MQM offers long life expectancy of 10,000km or 100 million full cycles.

A low friction, single acting cylinder, series MQP delivers delicate and precise linear movement.  The piston and the rod of the MQP share the same shaft, which drastically reduces sliding resistance.  Series MQP fully covers a pressure force control range of 0.01 N to 200 N.

Series CS1 air cylinder is SMC's largest bore cylinder. This series is available in bore sizes up to 12" and stroke lengths up to 60". Additionally, the CS1 can be ordered auto-switch capable. Other options include, large bore sizes up to 12" (300mm), various mounting configurations, cushion for noise damping, and lubrication optional.
