- Following automobile industry requests for a lightweight small cylinder with a simple lock function. SMC Pneumatics, the world leading automation control experts, are pleased to announce the launch of their latest range of compact cylinders with both lock and air cushion – series RLQ. Developed to provide the safety of drop prevention, at any point of the stroke, should the air supply be cut off, series RLQ benefits from additional features such as its own built in air cushion, standardized bypass piping and home position holding function. Also with the air cushion and lock unit contained inside the cylinder, the RLQ series offers similar space saving dimensions to SMC’s existing compact CQ2 range. The new series RLQ is the perfect solution for applications which require larger kinetic energy, high stroke repeatability and decreased sound levels.Series RLQ, is currently available in bore sizes of 32, 40, 50 and 63mm, with standard stroke options of between 20 – 100mm, series
