MUB Series Ultra-Compact Flat Pneumatic Actuator
- Oval-shaped piston for maximum force in minimal space
- Inherently non-rotating rod design
- Ultra-thin profile for narrow installations
- High-strength lightweight aluminum construction
- Four-surface versatile mounting options
- Integrated flush-mount sensor slots
- High-speed response and low-friction operation
- Direct mounting without additional brackets
The MUB Series is a revolutionary line of compact, flat-body pneumatic cylinders characterized by their unique oval-shaped piston. This innovative geometry allows the cylinder to deliver the same output force as a standard circular piston cylinder while significantly reducing the overall width and thickness. It is the definitive solution for engineers facing extreme space constraints in modern automated machinery.
Key Features & Innovative Design
High-Force, Low-Profile Geometry: The oval piston design provides a larger surface area within a narrower body. This allows for a 30% to 50% reduction in thickness compared to traditional round-body cylinders with equivalent bore sizes, without sacrificing pushing power.
Inherent Non-Rotating Accuracy: Due to the oval shape of the piston and rod, the cylinder is naturally non-rotating. This eliminates the need for external guides or multi-rod configurations, simplifying machine design and reducing total weight.
Versatile Mounting Capabilities: The MUB series offers flexible mounting on four different surfaces (bottom, side, front, and rear). The integrated mounting holes allow for direct installation without additional brackets, further saving space.
Lightweight Construction: Built with a high-strength aluminum alloy body, the MUB series reduces the inertia of moving parts, allowing for faster response times and improved energy efficiency in robotic applications.
Integrated Sensor Slots: Designed for smart factory integration, the cylinder body features recessed grooves for proximity sensors, protecting them from damage and maintaining the sleek, compact footprint.
Technical Advantages
Space Optimization: Ideal for "sandwich" mounting between plates or within narrow channels where standard compact cylinders cannot fit.
Reduced Friction: Precision-engineered seals and specialized surface treatments ensure smooth operation and a long service life under high-frequency cycling.
Stroke Customization: Available in a wide range of standard and custom strokes to suit specific application requirements.
Primary Applications
Electronic Assembly: Component pressing and PCB handling in confined spaces.
Packaging Systems: Small-scale pusher and sorter mechanisms.
Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT): Lightweight actuators for precision gripping and positioning.
Medical & Lab Automation: Compact movements within analytical instruments.
