SMC Corporation MGPS50-S1965-50 Guided Slide Cylinder

SMC MGPS50-S1965-50 Guided Slide Cylinder is a compact, heavy‑duty guide‑rod actuator that delivers precise, straight‑line motion in tight automation spaces. It features a 50 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke, and uses internal oversized guide shafts with a carbon steel alloy slide bearing to isolate the load from the rod and seals, reducing tilt and side‑load effects. The MGPS series emphasizes rigidity under lateral load: anti‑lateral load resistance is about 10% higher than standard MGP cylinders, eccentric load resistance is up 25%, and impact load resistance up to 140%, enhancing stability in off‑axis applications. For precision repeatability, the cylinder offers a fixed non‑rotating accuracy of ±0.05° at 50 mm bore, with higher accuracy options available for larger bores. This model is rated for operating pressure up to 1 MPa, making it suitable for pick‑and‑place, fixture positioning, and other guided-motion tasks that require reliable stroke control and load management. As part of SMC’s guided actuator lineup, MGPS cylinders are designed to minimize lateral deflection in compact footprints, and the MGPS50‑50 variant aligns with common stock configurations used across automation systems, with strokes selectable in 5 mm increments. Use cases include positioning parts on assembly lines, guiding grippers in automated handling, and other applications where repeatable, rigid linear motion is essential.
