SMC rotary cylinder MSQB10R

The MSQB10R from Japan's SMC is a standard double-acting, ultra-compact hollow rotary cylinder. It adopts a rack-and-pinion design and belongs to the smallest and most precise model in the MSQB series, making it suitable for industrial automation scenarios that require high-precision rotary positioning.

Product Overview

Working Principle

1. Position Feedback: The output shaft has a built-in magnet, allowing detection of 0° and 180° positions via externally mounted magnetic switches.

2. Double-Acting Control: Achieves 180° clockwise or counterclockwise rotation by alternating air supply, with no spring required for reset.

3. Rack-and-Pinion Drive: Pneumatic pressure drives two symmetrical pistons in linear motion, which in turn rotate the central gear via racks, converting the motion into oscillating output from the hollow shaft.

Application Scenarios

1. Micro-Electronic Assembly: Flipping micro-components such as chips and connectors; positioning and orientation changes in circuit board test fixtures.

2. Precision Inspection Equipment: Driving miniature cameras or sensors for multi-angle visual scanning; rotating laser rangefinder probes for positioning.

3. Micro-Fluid Control: Actuating small-bore valves (e.g., needle valves, butterfly valves) for 90°/180° switching.

4. Laboratory Automation: Changing the orientation of sample trays; rotating pipette arms.

5. Light-Duty Fixture Mechanisms: Rotating the wrist of lightweight robotic arms for gripping tiny workpieces.
