SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 40mm Bore size, 200mm Stroke Length - MGPM40TF-200Z


This Compact guide cylinder is a mechanically guided actuator designed for linear positioning in automated systems. It provides guided motion with integrated slide bearings and a slim aluminium alloy body, making it suitable for confined installations where precise lateral stability is required. The unit operates within normal industrial temperature ranges and is intended for double-acting control in production, assembly and testing equipment.

Features and Benefits:


• Double-acting operation enables controlled bidirectional motion
• Slide bearing guide reduces lateral play for accurate positioning
• Rubber bumper cushioning minimises shock at end strokes
• Rated up to 1MPa for common pneumatic supply pressures
• Piston speed capability reaches 500mm/s for responsive actuation
• Piston rod uses G-thread standard for straightforward mounting

Applications


• Suitable for pick-and-place stations requiring lateral stability
• Ideal for automated inspection rigs with repeatable traverse
• Used for press-fit or insertion tasks needing cushioned stops
• Can be used in pick-and-release mechanisms on conveyors
• Used with robotic end-effectors to provide guided linear travel

What materials help the unit resist corrosion and weight constraints?


The main body is formed from an aluminium alloy offering low mass and reasonable corrosion resistance for standard industrial environments.

How is cushioning provided at travel limits to protect tooling?


End-of-stroke impact is attenuated by rubber bumpers that absorb energy and limit rebound during deceleration.

What mounting or connection considerations apply to the piston rod?


The rod features a G-threaded end allowing direct attachment to common fittings or clevises without additional adaptors.

What operational temperature range can be expected for consistent performance?


The device functions across a moderate temperature span from below ambient to elevated operating conditions suitable for many factory settings.

How does the guide arrangement affect maintenance cycles?


The slide bearing guidance reduces side loads on Seals and rod, which can extend service intervals compared with unsupported cylinders.
