SMC MGPM25-150Z MGP-Z Series Thin-Type Cylinder with Guide Rod

Core Features

• ✓  High Lateral Load Capacity: Designed for applications with high lateral loads such as material handling, lifting, and stopping, it effectively withstands lateral loads on the piston rod, ensuring stable operation.
• ✓  Ultra-Compact and Lightweight: By shortening the guide rod and changing the end plate thickness, the weight is reduced by up to 24% compared to the original series, helping to save installation space and reduce equipment weight.
• ✓  Long Stroke and High Load Capacity: Utilizing a design where the guide rod bearing length increases with the stroke, it maintains high load capacity and guiding accuracy even with long strokes.
• ✓  Easy Installation and Use: Supports direct mounting of magnetic switches on both sides, allows piping from two directions, and provides four fixing methods, greatly enhancing flexibility in automation system integration.

Q: What kind of automated equipment is the MGPM25-150Z typically used in?

A: This guide rod-equipped, slim cylinder is widely used in various automation scenarios due to its high lateral load resistance and compact design. Common applications include automated production lines in industries such as electronics/battery manufacturing, food/agricultural product packaging, and pharmaceuticals, for short-distance handling, lifting, positioning, and stopping of parts. Its guide rod structure effectively withstands the lateral load during piston rod movement, ensuring stability and accuracy, making it ideal for use in workstations with limited space but requiring precise guidance.

Q: Is this cylinder easy to install if my equipment space is limited?

A: Very easy. One of the core design principles of the MGPM25-150Z is space saving. It reduces weight and size by shortening the guide rod (up to 22mm) and changing the end plate thickness. Furthermore, it supports four different mounting methods and can be piped from two directions, providing great flexibility for layout and installation in confined spaces.

Q: Does this model have a built-in magnetic switch? How do I detect its movement position?

A: The standard MGPM25-150Z cylinder body has a built-in magnetic ring (magnet), but does not include a magnetic switch. This means it has the capability to install a magnetic switch to detect piston position, but the switch itself needs to be purchased separately depending on your control requirements. SMC offers a variety of magnetic switch options for this series (such as model suffixes -M9B, etc.), and their design allows round or strong magnetic field-resistant magnetic switches to be directly mounted on the cylinder body without a partition, which is very convenient.
