What are the meanings of the “rotary stroke” and “clamp stroke” of MK series cylinders?
-
The rotary stroke of MK series cylinders is the stroke when the piston rod comes down while rotating 90° from the upper end. The rotary stroke is determined by the bore size of the cylinder.
The clamp stroke of MK series cylinders is the stroke that falls in a straight line after the rotary stroke. 2 to 4 types of clamp stroke can be selected depending on the bore size of the tube.
The overall length dimension (Q dimension) when the rod is in an extended state shown in the “Dimensions” section of the MK series catalog is the value obtained by adding the rotary stroke and the clamp stroke to the dimension when the rod is retracted.
Ex.) Overall length of the MKB50-30RZ when extended: 172+19+30=221 mm
