SMC MGPM50-40 Pneumatic Guide Rod Slide Bearing Cylinder

SMC MGPM50-40Z is a compact pneumatic guide-rod slide-bearing cylinder (MGP-Z series) that delivers precise straight-line motion with a 50 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. The design integrates the guide rod into the cylinder body and uses a slide bearing to isolate the load from the piston seals, enabling smooth, repeatable actuation in tight spaces. The aluminum-bodied unit offers through-hole mounting for straightforward installation in compact automation setups and is designed for guided positioning and actuation tasks where rigid, linear motion is required. As part of SMC’s MGPM/MGP family, this cylinder provides a robust solution for automation applications that demand a stable guide system without a separate external guide rail. Typical uses include fixtures, indexing, and small-assembly conveyors where accurate, repeatable travel is essential. The MGPM50-40Z’s 50 mm bore and 40 mm stroke translate to a compact footprint suitable for integration into tight machinery footprints while maintaining a capable load path and predictable travel.
