SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 12mm Bore size, 80mm Stroke Length - MGPM12-80Z


This Compact guide cylinder provides guided linear motion for automation and mechanical systems, combining guided stability with pneumatic actuation for dual-direction control. It is designed for installations where a slim profile and guided piston travel are required, offering cushioned end-of-stroke contact and compatibility with industry applications in electronics, electrical and mechanical sectors.

Features and Benefits:


• 12mm bore offers precise guided actuation and repeatable positioning
• Double-acting operation delivers controlled bidirectional movement
• Slide bearing guide reduces lateral play for steady side loads
• Rubber bumpers on both ends absorb impact for smoother cycles
• Operates at up to 1 MPa to handle typical factory pneumatic pressures
• Maximum piston speed 500 mm/s supports high-cycle processes

Applications


• Suitable for pick-and-place heads requiring guided linear motion
• Ideal for small assembly presses with limited installation space
• Used for PCB handling where smooth end cushioning is necessary
• Can be used for conveyor alignment jigs needing Compact guidance
• Used with testing fixtures that require predictable bidirectional strokes

What temperatures can it reliably operate within?


It functions across a range from -10°C up to 60°C to suit many indoor industrial environments.

What kind of rod connection is provided for end fittings?


The piston rod uses an M5x0.8 threaded connection compatible with Rc-thread standard fittings.

How much stroke is provided for linear displacement?


The unit delivers an 80mm linear travel for applications requiring short to medium strokes.

What is the construction material and its implication for mounting?


The body is MADE from an aluminium alloy which offers a light but rigid structure for secure mounting without excessive weight.

What is the unit mass for handling and system integration?


The component weighs 0.478 kg, facilitating straightforward inclusion into lightweight assemblies.
