SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 16mm Bore size, 40mm Stroke Length - MGPL16-40Z


This Compact guide cylinder provides guided linear motion with integrated guidance for applications requiring precise, constrained travel. Designed for double-acting pneumatic operation, it combines a lightweight body with cushioned end stops to support controlled reciprocating movement in industrial automation environments.

Features and Benefits:


• Aluminium alloy body reduces system mass and eases installation
• Ball bushing guide lowers lateral play for accurate positioning
• Rubber bumpers on both ends absorb impact and reduce noise
• 1 MPa maximum operating pressure enables robust force output
• 500 mm/s maximum piston speed supports speedy cycle rates
• M5x0.8 piston-rod thread simplifies actuator mounting

Applications


• Suitable for pick-and-place modules requiring guided strokes
• Ideal for semiconductor handling and electronics assembly
• Used for actuator tasks in mechanical tooling fixtures
• Can be used for electrical panel door damping and positioning

What working temperatures can I expect during operation?


The unit is rated for continuous use between -10°C and 60°C, accommodating typical factory ambient ranges.

How much stroke travel does the actuator provide?


It offers 40mm of linear travel, appropriate for short, repeatable positioning tasks.

What is the typical mass to consider for moving assemblies?


The cylinder weighs 0.479 kg, allowing easy integration without significant load increase.

How is the rod configured for mechanical attachment?


The piston rod has an M5x0.8 thread to accept standard metric fittings and end-effectors.
