SMC Corporation 12-MGPL20-50 Compact Guide Cylinder

The SMC 12-MGPL20-50 Compact Guide Cylinder is a compact pneumatic actuator from SMC’s MGPL line, delivering guided linear motion in tight installations. It features a 20 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke, yielding a slender footprint that fits inside compact machine frames while providing meaningful travel. Rated for operating pressures up to 1.0 MPa, this cylinder is designed for repeatable actuation cycles in automation tasks where precision and consistency are essential. As a guide-type cylinder, its design emphasizes straight, stable travel, helping maintain accurate alignment during extension and retraction in applications such as parts transfer, assembly, clamping, or positioning in packaging or electronics equipment. The MGPL family is known for its compact geometry and alignment-focused performance, enabling straightforward mounting in standard pneumatic circuits and compatible with common end-of-stroke accessories and mounting configurations. When a compact, reliable guided actuator is required for space-constrained automation lines, the 12-MGPL20-50 provides a practical balance of stroke, force, and footprint, supporting efficient cycle times and dependable positioning in industrial environments.
