SMC Pneumatics has launched the MK series of rotary clamp cylinders, with an allowable moment of inertia three times higher than current products.
According to the manufacturer, the new units allow faster clamping performance for high speed machinery, while offering the same overall length dimensions and interchangeable mounting dimensions for existing and new applications.
Rotary clamp cylinders are used in a variety of applications, from folding and closing cartons in packaging machinery to clamping products in welding processes. They may be specified in clockwise or counter-clockwise directions.
All-round auto switches can be mounted on up to all four sides of the cylinder without the need for additional mounting brackets. For welding applications, magnetic field resistant auto switches can also be used.
