Rodless cylinder

A rodless cylinder comprising:

• a cylinder body with a cylinder tube, including a first side surface and second side surface having a slit defined therein, said slit extending along the longitudinal direction of said cylinder tube, said cylinder tube having ends which are closed and said slit enabling a bore portion of said cylinder body to communicate with an extension portion of said cylinder body;
• a piston reciprocatively moveable within said bore of said cylinder body;
• a substantially L-shaped sliding table having a first leg with a first surface and a second leg with a second surface and being coupled to said piston by a connecting portion extending through said slit and moved in accordance with the reciprocating motion of said piston;
• a guide member provided at said first side surface of said cylinder body, which is opposed to said first surface of said sliding table and guiding thereof;
• and
• first and second sealing members engaged with said piston and said sliding table, respectively, so as to close at least a portion of said slit;
• wherein when compressed fluid is fed to a pressure receiving portion of said piston, said sliding table is moved in a direction to which said piston is moved through said connecting portion under guidance of said guide member.
