Abstract
Disclosed is a rodless cylinder having a cylinder barrel with a slit formed axially therein. A piston is movably housed in the cylinder barrel. A mounting table is disposed movably along the external surface of the cylinder barrel and connected to the piston through the slit. An external actuator is mounted on the mounting table and designed to be driven by a pressure fluid. A passage, through which a pressure fluid can pass, is defined in the cylinder barrel. An inlet is provided in the cylinder barrel so as to introduce the pressure fluid in the passage to the mounting table side. An outlet is provided on the mounting table so as to supply the pressure fluid introduced from the inlet to the external actuator.
