SMC CDRA1BS80-180Z Guided Cylinder | 80mm Bore, 180mm Stroke, Dual Guide, Rodless Specs

SMC CDRA1BS80-180Z guided cylinder specifications. 80mm bore, 180mm stroke, dual guide rodless cylinder, 0.7MPa, 24,520N. For heavy load linear motion.

Product Overview

The SMC CDRA1BS80-180Z​ is a compact guided cylinder with built-in linear guide​ from SMC's CDRA series, designed for heavy-duty linear motion applications. This model features an 80mm cylinder bore, 180mm stroke length, dual linear guide construction, and operates as a rodless cylinder. The "CDRA1BS80-180Z" designation specifies the series, guide type, bore size, stroke, and special features. This cylinder provides precise linear motion with high moment resistance, ideal for applications requiring guided movement without external guide components.

Typical Applications

• Material Handling:​ Heavy load transfer, lifting, and positioning

• Machine Tools:​ Tool changing, workpiece positioning

• Automotive Manufacturing:​ Component handling and assembly

• Packaging Machinery:​ Heavy product handling and positioning

• Press Automation:​ Die changing and workpiece handling

• Robotic End Effectors:​ As actuator for grippers and tools

• Test Equipment:​ Heavy specimen positioning

• Factory Automation:​ Palletizing, stacking, and transfer systems

• Any application requiring​ guided linear motion with heavy loads

Important Technical Notes

1. Load Calculation:​ Calculate actual load including workpiece weight, acceleration forces, and mounting orientation. Use safety factor of 2-3 for dynamic applications.

2. Moment Load Consideration:​ Consider all moment loads (Mx, My, Mz) from off-center loads, acceleration, and deceleration. Do not exceed published allowable moment values.

3. Mounting Surface:​ Ensure mounting surface flatness and rigidity. Poor mounting can reduce performance and lifespan.

4. Alignment:​ Proper alignment is critical. Misalignment causes binding, increased wear, and reduced performance.

5. Speed Control:​ Use speed controllers (flow control valves) to achieve desired speed and ensure smooth cushioning. Avoid impact at end of stroke.

6. Sensor Installation:​ Use compatible magnetic sensors. Mount sensors in provided groove and adjust for proper detection of built-in magnet.

7. Lubrication:​ While pre-lubricated, periodic lubrication may extend life in high-cycle applications. Use recommended grease.

8. Air Quality:​ Use clean, lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air. If using non-lubricated air, do not add lubricant later. Filter to 40 µm.
