SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 12mm Bore size, 30mm Stroke Length - MGPM12-30Z


This Compact guide cylinder provides constrained linear motion for precision actuation in industrial automation and mechanical assemblies. It is a double-acting slide-bearing unit designed for guided thrust where space is limited and controlled cushioning is required. The product suits systems needing guided piston movement with integrated end-of-stroke damping and multiple mounting orientations.

Features and Benefits:


• 1 MPa maximum operating pressure for stable force delivery
• 500 mm/s maximum piston speed for Rapid actuation
• Rubber bumpers on both ends reduce impact shock
• Slide bearing guide ensures accurate lateral control
• M5x0.8 piston rod thread simplifies end fitting
• Operates between -10 °C and 60 °C for varied environments

Applications


• Suitable for pick-and-place in electronics assembly
• Ideal for PCB handling and precise component indexing
• Used for end-of-line sorting in electrical manufacturing
• Can be used for feeder positioning in automation cells
• Used with small tooling in mechanical jig systems

What stroke length can be expected from this unit?


The piston provides a 30mm travel distance suitable for short-travel positioning tasks.

Which mounting orientations are supported for in-line installation?


The design allows bottom, side and TOP mounting for flexible installation angles.

How does the rod configuration affect external connections?


The rod is single-ended and threaded with an M5 pitch to accept Compact fittings and linkages.

What are the package dimensions relevant to panel integration?


The unit presents a low profile with a height of 58 mm, a length of 72mm and a width of 26mm to aid Compact system layouts.

What is the typical unit mass to consider for dynamic calculations?


The assembly weighs 0.29 kg for inertia and load-sharing estimations.

Note

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