MGPL20-50AZ: Lightweight, Compact, Precision Guidance! Guided Rod Compact Cylinder Empowers Industrial Automation

In industrial automation systems, the demand for actuators emphasizes lightweight construction, compactness, and high-precision guidance. The MGPL20-50AZ is a guided rod compact cylinder from the SMC MGP-Z series. It features a lightweight design, a compact structure, and high-precision guidance, offering an efficient and reliable linear drive solution for industrial automation systems. Core Product AdvantagesLightweight Design Through shortened guide rods and modified end plate thickness, the weight is reduced by up to 24%. This delivers significant energy-saving effects, reduces the overall weight of equipment, and enhances its flexibility and energy efficiency. Space Saving The guide rods are shortened by up to 22mm, reducing the machining required for clearance holes during cylinder installation. This effectively saves installation space, making it ideal for space-sensitive automated equipment. High-Precision Guidance Equipped with ball bearings (L-type), it provides smooth rod movement and an extended service life. This enhances the motion stability and precision of the guide rods, making it suitable for precision assembly and positioning tasks. Built-in Magnet Design Allows for the installation of magnetic switches for position detection and stroke control. Magnetic switches feature improved operability for easy adjustment. Round magnetic switches and strong magnetic field-resistant magnetic switches can be installed directly without the need for a spacer. Technical Parameters (Typical Values)
