SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 20mm Stroke Length, 12mm Bore size - MGPM12-20Z


This Compact guide cylinder provides guided linear motion for automated systems where space is limited. It operates as a double-acting pneumatic actuator with integrated slide bearings and end cushioning, designed for high-cycle applications in industrial automation, electronics assembly and mechanical handling.

Features and Benefits:


• 1 MPa maximum operating pressure for robust pneumatic force delivery
• 500 mm/s maximum piston speed for high-speed motion requirements
• 20mm stroke for short-travel positioning tasks
• Rubber bumper cushioning on both ends to reduce shock transfer
• M5x0.8 piston-rod thread enabling fine attachment compatibility
• Slide-bearing guide for accurate lateral stability under load

Applications


• Suitable for pick-and-place stations in electronics production
• Ideal for linear positioning in robotic end-effectors
• Used for component feeding and indexing in automation lines
• Can be used for gate or clamp actuation in assembly machinery

What temperatures can it withstand during operation?


It is specified to operate between -10°C and 60°C, allowing use in typical factory environments without additional thermal control.

How Compact is the unit for machine integration?


The actuator has a low-height profile and a reduced weight of 0.234 kg to ease integration into confined assemblies.

What mounting or rod connection considerations apply?


The rod uses an Rc-standard thread sized M5x0.8, permitting common threaded fittings and straightforward mechanical attachment.

Are there industry standards relevant to its safety and design?


It conforms to recognised standards for machinery and fluid-power control, supporting compatibility with regulated industrial systems.

Note

May be used with reed switch 161-782, available in most markets.
