SMC Corporation MGPM16-10 Compact Guide Cylinder

The SMC MGPM16-10 Compact Guided Pneumatic Cylinder delivers precise guided linear motion in a compact package, with integrated dual guide rods that improve load handling and positioning accuracy in constrained automation layouts. It features a 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 10 mm rod diameter (OD), and a 62 mm wide body, and operates as a double-acting cylinder with an air cushion to smooth travel at pressures up to 1.0 MPa (145 PSI) using compressed air and temperatures up to 60°C. This MGPM-series cylinder (part number MGPM16-10) uses a slide bearing design and offers mounting styles including top, side, bottom, and T-slot side, with top or side port configurations and auto switch capability for sensing. Commonly installed in pick-and-place equipment, packaging machinery, assembly systems, and material handling tasks, it is also suitable for conveyor systems, stop gates, lifting mechanisms, parts positioning, and robotic end-of-arm tooling where guided motion and resistance to lateral loads are required.
