Japan SMC compact thin cylinder MQQTB16-20D

The SMC MQQTB16-20D is a compact, thin-profile cylinder manufactured by SMC Corporation of Japan. It utilizes a gap seal structure with low sliding resistance, making it suitable for low-speed operating conditions and high-precision output control applications that are difficult to achieve with conventional cylinders.

This model has a bore of 16mm, a stroke of 20mm, and a built-in magnet. Its core features include a compact structure and a flat profile, making it particularly suitable for short-stroke, high-frequency, light-load operations. It is a commonly used basic actuator in automation equipment.

Product Introduction

Product Features

1. Compact Structure: Ultra-thin design and low height make it suitable for installation in limited spaces.

2. Square Cylinder Body: Easily installed and secured, and the magnetic switch is easily installed and adjusted.

3. Double-Acting Drive: Controls piston extension and retraction via dual-side intake and exhaust, ensuring stable motion.

4. Short-Stroke Design: 20mm stroke is suitable for small-scale clamping, positioning, blocking, and pressing operations.

5. Position Detection: Built-in magnetic ring allows for installation of magnetic switches, providing position signal feedback and facilitating integration with control systems such as PLCs.
