SMC Corporation MGQL12-20 Pneumatic Air Compact Cylinder

SMC MGQL12-20 is a compact, guided pneumatic cylinder from the MGQ family, built for precise linear motion in tight spaces. It features a 12 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke and operates as a double-acting actuator, delivering extend and retract strokes controlled by standard compressed air. The MGQ series incorporates an integrated guide to maintain alignment and minimize side loads during travel, making it suitable for repeatable positioning in compact automation fixtures. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 1 MPa (about 145 psi), the MGQL12-20 is designed to perform reliably under typical factory air supplies. As a MGQ-guided cylinder, it combines compact dimensions with guided travel to support accurate motions in small-scale equipment, such as packaging, assembly, and tooling setups where space is at a premium. This model's 12x20 mm footprint aligns with other MGQ variants, offering consistency across a family of compact, rail-guided cylinders that help streamline mounting and integration in automated systems.
