SMC Corporation MGQL16-30-XC18 Pneumatic Cylinder

The SMC MGQL16-30-XC18 is a compact guide cylinder from SMC’s MGQL family, engineered for precise, guided linear motion in tight spaces. With a 16 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke, it delivers compact travel while maintaining repeatable positioning for small- to mid-size automation tasks. A ball-bearing guide enhances alignment and smooth travel, helping reduce side load during cycling and improving reliability in repetitive applications. The -XC18 option designates NPT-style finish piping ports, enabling standard pneumatic connections without special adapters. This combination of compact footprint, guided travel, and standard porting makes the MGQL16-30-XC18 well suited for applications such as pick-and-place, part positioning, and fixture actuation where space is at a premium and precise, repeatable motion is required.
