Numatics MCR Series Rodless Cylinder

The MCR Series cylinder consists of a piston and a carriage, which are coupled together using rare earth magnets. When the cylinder is pressurized from one end, the piston will travel the length of the tube, which in turn moves the carriage. Pressurizing the other side the carriage will travel back the length of the tube. They are available in various bore sizes and coupling strengths.
