SMC Corporation MGPL16-150 Pneumatic Guide Cylinder

The SMC MGPL16-150 is a compact guided pneumatic cylinder that delivers precise linear motion with integrated dual guide rods and a ball bushing bearing, providing higher precision and load capacity than standard slide-type cylinders. It features a 16 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, a 62 mm wide body and an overall length of 242.5 mm, with a double-acting action and a piston rod threaded M5 x 0.8; rubber cushions at both ends provide controlled end-of-stroke damping. Operating from compressed air within 0.12 MPa to 1.0 MPa (145 psi), it supports speeds up to 500 mm/s and is rated for -10°C to +60°C, suitable for industrial automation and manufacturing environments. Typical applications include pick-and-place, packaging machinery, conveyors, stop gates, lifting mechanisms, parts positioning, and robotic end-of-arm tooling where accurate guided motion and resistance to side loading are required; mounting options include top, side, bottom, and T-slot side, and it offers auto switch capability with an approximate weight of 1.04–1.10 kg.
