SMC Pneumatic Guided Cylinder - 50mm Bore, MGP Series, 125 mm Double Acting Acting

This Compact guide cylinder is a guided pneumatic actuator designed for precise linear motion in industrial automation. It provides guided reciprocating movement for assembly, positioning and transfer tasks, operating within typical workshop and production environments. The unit combines guided stability with controlled actuation for use in mechanical, electrical and electronic manufacturing contexts.

• 50mm bore delivers dependable force for medium-duty operations
• 125mm stroke enables accurate travel for positioning tasks
• Double-acting operation gives controlled push and pull motion
• Slide bearing guide reduces lateral play for repeatable positioning
• Rubber bumper cushioning on both ends minimises impact at end of stroke
• Rated for operation up to 1 MPa to suit industrial pneumatic systems

• Suitable for pick-and-place stations requiring guided movement
• Ideal for component alignment in PCB and electronics assembly
• Used for tool change and clamping positioning in mechanical cells
• Can be used for panel indexing in electrical cabinet production

It functions across a moderate temperature span from −10 °C up to +60 °C allowing use in typical factory ambient and slightly chilled process zones.

The piston may move at up to 500 mm/s, enabling relatively high cycle rates when coordinated with supply and valve sising.

It uses a single-rod arrangement with a G-standard threaded piston rod for direct coupling to fixtures or tooling.

The cylinder mass is 5.579 kg, which should be accounted for in moving assemblies and support structures.

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