SMC Corporation MGPM63-30Z Pneumatic Cylinder

The SMC MGPM63-30Z is a compact, 63 mm bore, 30 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder in the MGP-Z guide-series, engineered for precise guided linear actuation in tight automation spaces. As a guide-type slim cylinder, MGPM63-30Z uses a guide rod with a sliding bearing arrangement to maintain alignment and minimize lateral play over many cycles. The basic MGPM63-30Z form is designed for reliable push/pull motion in confined layouts, and can be equipped with an array of MGPM-Z accessories to tailor cushioning, sensing, and mounting to the application. Notably, variants with auto-switch options exist, including MGPM63-30Z-A93L-XB10 and MGPM63-30Z-A93LS, which integrate a standard micro-switch or sensor output for position feedback without external wiring. This makes it suitable for positioning tasks, clamping setups, transfer upstream/downstream in packaging lines, and other compact automation tasks where guided motion improves tool alignment and repeatability. As part of SMC’s MGP-Z family, it shares the same basic geometry and mounting interfaces across bore sizes, enabling interchangeability with other MGPM63-series cylinders while preserving a slim, space-saving profile in the chain of automation components. The MGPM63-30Z model is commonly used where a 30 mm stroke suffices to reach a fixed end position or actuate a downstream device, all within a 63 mm bore footprint.
