SMC MGQM50-40 MGQ Guided Cylinder

SMC MGQM50-40 MGQ Guided Cylinder is a compact 50 mm bore, 40 mm stroke actuator from the MGQ family designed for precise, guided linear motion in tight spaces. It features internal guide shafts that isolate the load from the rod and seals, delivering straight travel even under lateral forces, with the MGQM variant employing a carbon steel alloy slide bearing for added stability. Rubber bumpers are standard, and the unit is sensor-ready with auto switch capability for simple integration into automated lines. Optional high-temperature operation is available (XB6 up to 150°C / 302°F), expanding suitability to harsher environments. The MGQ family covers a wide range of bore sizes (12–100 mm) and strokes; MGQM50-40 is the dedicated 50 mm bore, 40 mm stroke variant, optimized for compact installations where precise positioning and repeatability are required. The MGQ guide mechanism supports non-rotating accuracy across sizes, with typical values cited for various bores (for example, +/-0.04° at 100 mm bore and +/-0.08° at 12 mm bore), underscoring repeatable alignment in automation tasks.
