SMC Guide Cylinder - 25mm Bore, MGP Series, 30 mm Double Acting Acting

This Compact guide cylinder is a guided pneumatic actuator designed for controlled linear motion in automated systems. It provides guided, double-acting rod movement with integrated side guidance to reduce shaft deflection and maintain alignment under lateral loads. The unit is constructed for use in industrial automation, electronics assembly, and mechanical equipment where precise short-stroke positioning is required.

• Aluminium alloy body reduces overall unit mass and simplifies mounting
• 25mm bore delivers consistent actuation force for small loads
• 30mm stroke gives precise short-travel positioning capability
• Ball bushing guide ensures smooth lateral load handling
• Rubber bumpers on both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy
• Operates up to 1MPa to suit typical pneumatic supply pressures

• Suitable for pick-and-place stages in electronics assembly
• Ideal for end-of-line part gating in automated cells
• Used for fixture actuation in mechanical testing rigs
• Can be used for small product orientation tasks on conveyors

The cylinder functions between -10°C and 60°C to accommodate typical workshop and factory environments.

Maximum piston speed is 500mm/s, enabling Rapid short-stroke cycles where throughput is required.

Both ends include rubber bumpers that limit shock at stroke limits and protect mounted components.

The piston rod uses a G-standard threaded connection to accept common industrial fittings.

The cylinder has a mass of 0.96 kg for inclusion in dynamic and static load assessments.
