SMC MGPM16-30Z Guide Rod Cylinder (MGPM1630Z)
1. Product Overview
The SMC MGPM16-30Z is a high-precision guide rod cylinder from SMC’s MGPM series, engineered for industrial automation applications requiring stable linear motion with robust resistance to lateral and moment loads. It integrates a double-acting cylinder with dual parallel guide rods and slide bearings, featuring a 16 mm bore diameter and 30 mm stroke length. This all-in-one design eliminates piston rod rotation and deflection, making it ideal for tasks such as precision clamping, component pressing, workpiece positioning, and small-part assembly in electronic manufacturing, automotive component production, and packaging machinery. The built-in magnetic ring enables seamless integration with magnetic proximity sensors for real-time position feedback, while its compact profile ensures easy installation in space-constrained automation setups. Adhering to SMC’s stringent quality standards, the MGPM16-30Z delivers reliable, long-term performance with minimal maintenance under typical industrial operating conditions.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Guided Linear Actuation | Dual parallel guide rods and slide bearings eliminate piston rod rotation and deflection, ensuring stable, accurate linear motion even under high lateral or moment loads. |
| Double-Acting Bidirectional Motion | Converts compressed air into bidirectional thrust and pull forces for extension and retraction, supporting automated cyclic operations via solenoid valves and PLC control systems. |
| Magnetic Position Feedback | An integrated magnetic ring in the piston allows installation of magnetic proximity sensors, providing real-time position signals for system synchronization and safety interlocks. |
| Impact Cushioning | Non-adjustable rubber cushions at both stroke ends absorb kinetic energy, reducing operational noise and preventing damage to the cylinder and connected equipment during rapid stops. |
| Direct Load Mounting | Standardized threaded holes on the slide table enable direct mounting of tools, fixtures, or workpieces, adapting to horizontal, vertical, and inclined installation orientations. |
| Lateral Load Bearing | The guide rod system independently bears lateral and moment loads, protecting the piston rod from premature wear and ensuring consistent performance over extended service life. |
3. Technical Features
- Dual-Guide Rod Structure: Two precision-machined SUS304 stainless steel guide rods paired with composite polymer slide bearings ensure high positional repeatability (±0.05 mm) and excellent load-bearing capacity, minimizing deflection under heavy loads.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The cylinder barrel, end caps, and slide table are made of hard-anodized aluminum alloy for superior corrosion resistance; the piston rod and guide rods feature hard chrome plating to enhance wear resistance and durability.
- High-Efficiency Sealing System: Premium NBR rubber seals maintain airtightness and prevent internal air leakage, ensuring stable pressure and consistent force output across the entire operating pressure range.
- Broad Operating Range: Functions reliably at an air pressure range of 0.1–1.0 MPa and an ambient temperature range of -10°C to 60°C, compatible with filtered compressed air (particle size ≤5 μm).
- Oil-Free Operation Compatibility: Designed for maintenance-free oil-free lubrication, reducing operational costs and making it suitable for clean environments such as electronic component assembly lines and laboratory equipment.
- Sensor Integration Flexibility: Compatible with SMC D-M9 series magnetic switches, which can be mounted on the cylinder’s side grooves without additional brackets, simplifying setup and reducing installation time.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets international environmental standards, free of restricted hazardous substances, making it suitable for eco-friendly manufacturing facilities.
