SMC MGPM16-75AZ MGP series Compact double-acting cylinder with guide rod

Core Features

• ✓  Precise Guidance and Lateral Load Resistance: Its integrated guide rod and sliding bearing design isolates the load from the movement of the cylinder piston and seals, effectively withstanding significant lateral impact forces, making it suitable for applications such as stopping.
• ✓  Provides Linear Power: As a double-acting cylinder, it uses compressed air to drive the piston in forward and backward reciprocating motion, providing power for pushing, pulling, and lifting actions.
• ✓  Smooth Cushioning: Its standard air cushioning mechanism absorbs the kinetic energy at the piston's end of motion, with a capacity approximately three times that of standard rubber cushions, effectively suppressing impact and noise, resulting in smoother and gentler stopping.
• ✓  Compact Design: This cylinder features a lightweight, compact design, achieving up to 24% weight reduction through shortened guide rods and thinner end plates, saving installation space and facilitating integration into various automated equipment.

Q: Can this small-bore cylinder be used to directly push very heavy workpieces?

A: It can withstand some lateral loads, but its core function is precise guidance rather than forceful pushing. It is more suitable as a stopper to block workpieces, or as a lifter for light-load lifting, using its guide rod to absorb impact and protect the cylinder body.

Q: I want to use it to make a compact pushing mechanism with very limited space. Can it meet my needs?

A: It's perfect. This model belongs to the new MGP-Z series, achieving a lightweight and compact design through shortened guide rods, saving more space than the previous series. Its 16mm bore and 75mm stroke specifications are perfect for applications in confined spaces such as smooth pushers in automated equipment.

Q: I want to install a magnetic switch on this cylinder to detect its position. What should I be aware of?

A: No additional mounting bracket is needed. One improvement of this cylinder (MGP-Z series) is that the circular magnetic switch can be directly mounted on the cylinder body. This not only saves space, but also reduces installation costs and the problem of inaccurate switch position caused by loose brackets.
