SMC Guide Cylinder - 50mm Bore, MGP Series, 25 mm Double Acting Acting

This Compact guide cylinder is a guided pneumatic actuator designed for linear motion tasks in automated systems. It delivers guided reciprocation with a single-rod configuration and is suitable for factory automation where controlled, constrained movement is required. The unit combines a lightweight aluminium body with slide-bearing guidance and rubber end cushions to manage impact at stroke limits.

• Double-acting design provides push and pull motion capability
• 500 mm/s maximum piston speed enables high-speed cycles
• Rubber bumper on both ends reduces shock at end of stroke
• Slide-bearing guide offers precise lateral load support
• Suitable for up to 1 MPa operating pressure for robust duty
• Operates between −10 °C and 60 °C for varied environments

• Suitable for pick-and-place modules in assembly lines
• Ideal for precision workholding in machining stations
• Used for component transfer in electronics production
• Can be used for actuator duties in conveyor positioning
• Used with testing rigs requiring short-travel guidance

The piston rod uses a G-thread standard to facilitate straightforward mechanical coupling with accessories and mounts.

The unit offers a 25mm stroke suited to short-travel applications where limited linear displacement is required.

The cylinder weighs 2.735 kg, which should be included when designing supports or moving assemblies.

The body is constructed from an aluminium alloy, offering reduced mass and appropriate resistance for many industrial settings.
