MGJ10-15 Cylinder: Micro Guide Cylinder, An Integrated Guidance Unit with Ultra-High ±0.1° Anti-Rotation Precision

Product Positioning
The MGJ10-15 is a micro guide cylinder from SMC’s MGJ series, featuring a single rod, double acting design with built-in linear guide. This series, with its three core advantages—ultra-high non-rotating accuracy (±0.1°),集中 piping and wiring on one side, and ultra-compact dimensions—is an ideal execution element for achieving精密 pick-and-place, high-precision positioning, and resistance to lateral loads in automation equipment. It is widely used in fields such as electronics assembly, medical devices,精密 machinery, and semiconductor manufacturing, especially in areas with limited space but extremely high precision requirements.

Core Highlights: Ultra-High Anti-Rotation Precision, Concentrated Piping, Compact Ultra-Thin

• ±0.1° Ultra-High Non-Rotating Accuracy for Precision Assembly
  • Achieves卓越 non-rotating accuracy of ±0.1° by incorporating a high-rigidity linear guide.
  • Effectively prevents rotation of the end effector during motion, ensuring absolute consistency in gripping and assembly姿态, particularly suitable for precision alignment and micro-part assembly.
• 集中 Piping and Wiring on One Side Saves Valuable Space
  • Concentrates all air port connections and auto switch leads on the same side, achieving extremely simple tubing and wiring layouts.
  • Greatly simplifies equipment routing design, facilitating dense multi-cylinder arrangements in narrow spaces.
• Ultra-Compact Dimensions Adapt to极限 Spaces
  • Taking a 6mm bore as an example, overall length is only 23mm + stroke, width 29mm, height 14.5mm.
  • This model (10mm bore) maintains极致 compact dimensions, capable of functioning in狭小 stations where普通 cylinders cannot be installed.
• Auto Switches Can Be Mounted Even with 5mm Ultra-Short Stroke
  • Allows mounting 2 auto switches on the cylinder even for strokes as short as 5mm.
  • Enables precise detection and feedback of piston position, meeting stringent requirements for position signals in automation systems.
• Double Acting Drive with Sufficient Thrust
  • Uses a double acting design where compressed air drives piston extension and retraction in both directions, ensuring responsive and controllable动作.
  • Bore size Φ10mm, stroke 15mm, theoretical force at 0.5MPa is 39.25N (extend) / 29.45N (retract), meeting light-load precision application needs.
• Built-in Magnet for Intelligent Control
  • Cylinder body contains a built-in magnet, allowing easy selection of various auto switch models (such as F8N, F8B, F8P) for non-contact detection and feedback of piston position.
• Wide Operating Condition Adaptability, Stable and Reliable
  • Operating pressure range 0.15 ~ 0.7 MPa, proof pressure 1.05 MPa.
  • Piston speed 50 ~ 500 mm/s, ambient temperature -10 ~ 60°C.
  • Cushion type is rubber bumpers at both ends, effectively absorbing impact at stroke ends.
