SMC Pneumatic Guided Cylinder - 32 mm Bore, MGPL Series, 150 mm Double Acting Acting

This Compact guide cylinder is a guided linear actuator designed for precise lateral support and controlled reciprocating motion in automation systems. It combines a lightweight aluminium alloy body with guided rod travel to maintain alignment during bi‑directional operation, offering a practical solution for assemblies that require constrained movement and reliable cushioning at travel end‑points.

• 32mm bore with guided support enables accurate lateral stability
• 150mm stroke delivers repeatable travel for positioning tasks
• Ball bushing guide reduces lateral play for improved precision
• Rubber bumpers on both ends absorb impact and reduce noise
• Rated to 1 MPa working pressure for robust actuation force
• Operates between −10 °C and 60 °C for varied environmental use

• Suitable for pick‑and‑place stations requiring guided motion
• Ideal for linear transfer in electronics assembly lines
• Used with pneumatic grippers for controlled opening and closing
• Can be used for panel indexing where light cushioning is needed
• Used for fixture actuation in mechanical testing rigs

It uses a double‑rod layout with a G‑threaded piston rod to allow mounting on both ends and straightforward integration with external linkages.

The design supports piston speeds up to 500 mm/s, allowing frequent reciprocation without compromising guided alignment.

The assembly mass is 3.179 kg, which should be considered when assessing support structures and moving masses.

Rubber bumpers are fitted at both end positions to dissipate kinetic energy and limit transmitted shock to adjacent components.
