SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 12mm Bore size, 40mm Stroke Length - MGPM12-40Z
This Compact guide cylinder is a guided pneumatic actuator designed for linear positioning in automation environments. It provides controlled double-acting motion with guided sliding to maintain parallelism under lateral loads, making it suitable for integration into electronic assembly, electrical panel fabrication and mechanical systems where precise short-stroke movement is required.
Features and Benefits:
• 12mm bore delivers Compact force for confined assemblies
• 40mm stroke enables short, repeatable travel for positioning
• Double-acting operation offers controlled push and pull motion
• Aluminium alloy body reduces mass for easier mounting
• Slide bearing guidance provides consistent lateral stability
• Rubber bumpers on both ends absorb impact and reduce vibration
• 40mm stroke enables short, repeatable travel for positioning
• Double-acting operation offers controlled push and pull motion
• Aluminium alloy body reduces mass for easier mounting
• Slide bearing guidance provides consistent lateral stability
• Rubber bumpers on both ends absorb impact and reduce vibration
Applications
• Suitable for pick-and-place tasks on small production lines
• Ideal for actuation of fixtures in PCB handling stations
• Used for clamp sequencing in electrical enclosure assembly
• Can be used for small transfer mechanisms in machine tools
• Used with sensors for short travel position feedback in automation

What are the environmental temperature limits for operation?
It operates between -10 °C and 60 °C, supporting typical factory ambient and mild temperature variations.
What is the maximum supply pressure allowed for safe use?
The unit is rated to operate up to 1 MPa, which defines its maximum pneumatic input for normal performance.
How fast can the piston travel for high-speed cycles?
The maximum piston speed is 500 mm/s, allowing for Rapid actuation where cycle time is critical.
What threading and rod type are provided for end fittings?
The piston rod is a single rod with an M5x0.8 thread using an Rc thread standard for connection.
Note
May be used with reed switch 161-782, available in most markets.
