Industrial MGQM40-50-XC18 Guided Compact Cylinder

The MGQM40-50-XC18 Guided Compact Cylinder is an SMC MGQ-series double-acting actuator designed for precise, compact linear motion in tight spaces. With a 40 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke, it uses internal guide shafts and a slide bearing to isolate the load from the piston rod and seals, delivering stable travel and resistance to side loads. Rubber bumpers come standard, and the unit is auto-switch capable for easy sensor integration. This MGQ family supports bore sizes from 12 to 100 mm and offers a high-temperature option up to 150°C (XB6). Non-rotating accuracy for MGQ-based cylinders is specified from ±0.08° at the smallest bores to about ±0.04° at larger bores, enabling repeatable positioning in automation tasks. The XC18 suffix denotes this specific variant within the MGQM lineup. Ideal applications include precise pick-and-place, alignment, and part-feeding in compact automation cells where guided guidance and a compact footprint are essential.
