Feature: External guiding system reduces lateral load and improves travel smoothness, delivering consistent stroke quality. Business Impact: Fewer misalignment issues, less wear, and longer cycle life in high-speed pick-and-place. Application: Packaging lines and automated assembly where precise guidance is essential. Feature: 63 mm bore with a 500 mm stroke in a rodless design saves space while maintaining reach. Business Impact: Denser actuator layouts and extended reach in tight machine frames, lowering overall machine footprint. Application: Transfer carts and inline transfer stations in compact lines. Feature: Dust protection as standard plus a magnetic piston for easy sensor integration. Business Impact: Reduced contamination risk and straightforward sensing for feedback control, boosting uptime. Application: Harsh, dusty environments like conveying and material handling. Feature: Interchangeability with series M/46000 and universal mounting grooves. Business Impact: Faster retrofits and simplified spare part strategies, cutting downtime. Application: Upgrades of legacy lines without major mechanical redesign. Feature: Adjustable cushioning and robust material construction (anodised aluminium barrel, polyurethane piston seals, nitrile seals). Business Impact: Tunable impact control and durable seals extend life in variable loads and temperatures. Application: High-cycle operations with consistent return-to-position accuracy. Technical context: Operating temperature -30 to 80 °C, operating pressure 1 to 8 bar, port size G1/2, weight 11.7 kg. These factors support reliability and predictable maintenance planning in industrial environments.

FAQs
The M/146163/M/500 uses universal mounting grooves common to Lintra Plus rodless actuators and supports external guiding for straightforward alignment. To install, align the cylinder with mounting holes in your frame, secure with appropriate fasteners, connect the G1/2 air port, and verify stroke end positions. Reference the datasheet’s installation section for exact hole patterns and tightening torque to ensure repeatable accuracy.
The cylinder operates from 1 to 8 bar (15 to 116 psi). For reliable performance, supply clean, dry compressed air with a suitable regulator and filter. Use the lowest pressure necessary to achieve the required speed and force to minimize wear. In high-cycle applications, partial pressure adjustments paired with adjustable cushioning help manage impact and extend life.
Yes. The external guiding system reduces side loads, improving positional accuracy over long strokes in confined packaging lines. When deploying, ensure proper alignment with the mounting frame and verify that the guiding surfaces remain clean to maintain smooth travel. The 63 mm bore and 500 mm stroke provide ample reach for many pick-and-place tasks while preserving compact machine footprints.
Certification and rating details are documented in the official datasheet. For regulatory compliance, check CE marking applicability for your region and confirm IP ratings relevant to your environmental exposure. SIL considerations apply to safety-related control logic and should be evaluated against your risk assessment. Always corroborate with the manufacturer or distributor for variant-specific certifications before deployment.
Dust protection, adjustable cushioning, and durable seals (polyurethane, nitrile) reduce premature wear in dirty, high-cycle environments, lowering maintenance frequency. The external guide and interchangeable compatibility with M/46000 simplify spare parts and retrofits, reducing downtime. A well-planned maintenance schedule and early integration with sensing (magnetic piston) enable predictable uptime and faster return on investment in automation lines.
