SMC Guide Cylinder 16mm Bore, MGP Series, 30mm Stroke, Double Acting, Aluminium Alloy Body MGPL16-30Z

SMC MGPL16-30Z Guide Cylinder features a 16mm bore and 30mm stroke length in the MGP Series, providing precise pneumatic linear motion for industrial automation and assembly tasks. This double acting cylinder combines a guided sliding mechanism with pneumatic actuation to effectively control lateral loads and maintain alignment during short-stroke operations.

The cylinder's aluminium alloy body minimizes weight for easy installation and mounting in confined spaces, while the ball bushing guide enhances lateral rigidity and accuracy under side loads. Rubber bumper cushioning at both ends cushions impacts for quieter operation and extends component life.

With a piston rod threaded M5 x 0.8, the guide cylinder is compatible with a variety of fittings, clevises, and end-effectors allowing customization for specific assembly or positioning requirements. It supports a maximum piston speed of 500 mm/s for fast cyclic operations and operates under pressures of up to 1 MPa, ensuring reliable and consistent force output.

Operating temperatures from -10 °C to 60 °C make this cylinder suitable for typical industrial, electronics manufacturing, PCB handling, and mechanical jig applications. It is ideal for pick-and-place heads, alignment tasks, micro-transfer systems, and panel positioning in electrical enclosures.

The MGP Series compact guide cylinders are designed to maintain high accuracy through a ball bushing guide system, which reduces shaft deflection and ensures repeatability when lateral forces are present. The robust rubber bumper cushioning adds operational smoothness by avoiding harsh impacts during piston stroke reversals.

Applications include compact assembly machines, electronics and electrical process automation, mechanical jigs, and precise positioning setups. This cylinder is made in China, conforms to industry requirements, and provides a reliable pneumatic guided motion solution in tight installation spaces.
