SMC Guide Cylinder - 12mm Bore, MGP Series, 30 mm Double Acting Acting

This Compact guide cylinder provides guided linear actuation for automation and mechanical systems, combining a guided slide with a Compact pneumatic actuator to deliver precise double-acting motion in confined assemblies. It is intended for applications where guided rod movement and space efficiency are required, offering controlled cushioning at both ends for reduced impact during end-of-stroke operations.

• 12mm bore enabling compact, repeatable force delivery
• 30mm stroke for short-travel positioning tasks
• Aluminium alloy body for reduced unit mass
• Rubber bumper cushioning to limit end-of-stroke shock
• Ball bushing guide for smooth lateral stability
• M5x0.8 piston rod thread for secure mounting

• Suitable for pick-and-place stations in assembly lines
• Ideal for clamp and hold functions in test rigs
• Used with feeders for component orientation control
• Can be used for light tooling actuation in robotic cells

It functions at up to 1 MPa supply pressure, allowing common industrial pneumatic sources to power the actuator.

It operates between -10°C and 60°C, covering many indoor and sheltered factory environments.

The maximum permitted piston speed is 500 mm/s, supporting high cycle-rate tasks within design limits.

The unit mass is 0.3 kg, useful when assessing payloads and dynamic loads for motion systems.
