SMC Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of pneumatic automation products, has announced the expansion of the MQ Series Metal Seal Cylinders.
Hygienic applications include food-processing machinery, bottling machinery, or other applications that require the cylinder surface to be wiped down.
(Please note that the SMC HY series cylinders should not be used in locations defined as "Food Zone" areas).
In addition to washdown capabilities, this actuator also has excellent resistance to water, machining coolant, and many other liquids.
The HYG series outperforms traditional cylinders when liquids make direct contact with the sliding parts of the cylinder.
Standard features include multiple porting locations (top porting or side porting), a rail-mounted hygienic auto-switch for improved washdown capabilities, and guide rods that are completely recessed within the cylinder guide body.
This cylinder is currently available in 6 bore sizes ranging from 20mm to 63mm with standard stroke lengths up to 200mm.
