SMC Pneumatic Guided Cylinder - 16 mm Bore, MGPL Series, 75 mm Double Acting Acting

This Compact guide cylinder provides guided linear motion for automation and mechanical systems, combining a guided rod arrangement with a pneumatic piston to control precise lateral loads in confined assemblies. It is intended for double-acting actuation in equipment where a small footprint and guided stability are required, operating across a moderate temperature range and suited to routine industrial duty.

• Aluminium body reduces mass and eases installation
• Ball bushing guide increases lateral load capacity
• Rubber bumpers on both ends soften end-of-stroke impacts
• 1MPa maximum pressure allows robust pneumatic supply
• 500mm/s TOP piston speed supports Rapid cycling
• M5x0.8 piston rod thread simplifies accessory mounting

• Suitable for pick-and-place stations requiring guided motion
• Ideal for feed and aligning mechanisms in assembly lines
• Used for Compact actuator tasks in electronics production
• Can be used for light-duty clamping in mechanical fixtures
• Used with pneumatic manifolds in automated test rigs

The unit offers a 75mm piston travel to define working range and mounting clearances.

The device functions between -10°C and 60°C, so ambient and media temperatures must remain within this span.

The actuator has a mass of 0.67kg to include when assessing support structures and moving inertia.

Each end uses rubber bumpers to attenuate shock at stroke termini and reduce noise.
