SMC MGP Series Compact Guide Cylinder, 12mm Bore size, 40mm Stroke Length - MGPL12-40Z

This Compact guide cylinder is a Compact pneumatic actuator designed to deliver guided linear motion with integrated guidance for precise parallel movement in automated assemblies. It operates as a double-acting unit with a small bore and short stroke, suited to confined layouts where guided pushing and pulling are required. The unit is constructed from lightweight alloy and includes end cushioning to reduce impact in repetitive cycles.

Features and Benefits:

• 12mm bore for accurate force delivery and space-saving installation
• 40mm stroke offering short, repeatable travel for pick-and-place tasks
• Double-acting operation enabling controlled extend and retract movement
• Ball bushing guide for improved lateral rigidity and alignment
• Rubber bumpers fitted at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact
• Maximum operating pressure 1 MPa permitting robust actuation performance

Applications

• Suitable for Electronic Assembly pick-and-place stations
• Ideal for mechanical fixture positioning in production lines
• Used with pneumatic control systems in electrical panel assembly
• Can be used for component transfer in automated test rigs

What materials are used in the main structural parts?

The cylinder body is fabricated from aluminium alloy to reduce mass while maintaining structural stability.

What environmental temperature range can it handle?

It is rated for operation between -10°C and 60°C to accommodate typical indoor industrial environments.

How does the rod connection Interface with external fittings?

The piston rod provides an M5x0.8 metric thread enabling straightforward attachment of end-effectors or linkage hardware.

What mounting options are available for integration?

The design supports bottom, side and TOP mounting to allow flexible installation orientations.

Are there any regulatory or conformity notes relevant to procurement?

The product meets RoHS requirements restricting certain hazardous substances.
