SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 20mm Bore size, 20mm Stroke Length - MGPM20TF-20Z

This Compact guide cylinder provides guided linear motion for automation and mechanical systems where space is limited. It is a double-acting pneumatic actuator designed to deliver controlled lateral guidance alongside axial force, suitable for integration in equipment requiring constrained travel and positional stability.

Features and Benefits:

• 1 MPa maximum operating pressure for robust actuation performance
• 500 mm/s maximum piston speed for fast cycle times
• Rubber bumper on both ends for reduced end-impact wear
• Slide bearing guide type for smooth lateral guidance
• Operates between −10°C and 60°C for varied environmental conditions
• 20mm stroke length enabling short-travel positioning tasks

Applications

• Suitable for pick-and-place mechanisms in automation cells
• Ideal for fixture positioning in electronics assembly
• Used for door or flap actuation in control panels
• Can be used for small-transfer operations in mechanical handling
• Used with inspection jigs requiring repeatable lateral guidance

What mounting orientations are possible for installation?

It supports side, TOP and bottom mounting arrangements to accommodate different machine layouts and constrained spaces.

How is the piston rod configured for attachment?

The actuator uses a single rod with a G-standard thread to accept common end fittings and linkage hardware.

What is the expected mass to consider for dynamic calculations?

The unit has a mass of 0.587 kg which should be included when calculating inertial loads and servo tuning.

How does the guide behave under repeated cycles?

Slide bearings provide consistent lateral support and reduce stick–slip effects for repetitive motion applications.

What external envelope should be allowed for installation clearance?

The nominal external profile measures 73mm in length, 58mm in height and 26mm in width and should be considered when planning assembly space.

Note

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