Overview
The SMC MGPM32-25A is a compact guide cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 25mm stroke. The MGP is a compact body actuator integrated with internal guide shafts to isolate the load bearing from the movement of the actuator’s rod and seals. The carbon steel alloy slide bearing (Type M) provides lateral stability protecting it from side load impacts, suitable for stopping applications. This model is ideal for applications requiring precision guidance combined with compact installation footprint.
Key Features
- 32mm bore diameter with 25mm standard stroke
- Carbon steel alloy slide bearing provides lateral stability protecting from side load impacts
- Internal guide shafts isolate load bearing from rod and seal movement
- Compact body design reduces mounting space requirements
- Built-in magnet for auto-switch compatibility
- Standard port thread: M5×0.8 or Rc
Technical Specifications
The MGPM32-25A conforms to SMC’s MGP series standard construction with industrial-grade materials. Components include aluminum alloy body, carbon steel bearings, NBR seals for piston and rod, and nickel plated rod. The cylinder operates reliably across standard industrial temperature and pressure ranges typical of pneumatic automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Positioning and indexing tasks in transfer equipment
- Stopper and locating applications requiring lateral load resistance
- Precision lifting and pushing operations in manufacturing systems
- Assembly line automation where compact guidance is required
- Material handling and parts transfer on production machinery
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard pneumatic control systems and valve interfaces
- Industrial PLC and automation controllers
- Pneumatic timing and sequencing systems
- Auto-switch sensors (D-A93 type compatible)
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The MGPM32-25A directly replaces equivalent SMC MGP-series cylinders with matching 32mm bore and 25mm stroke specifications. Verify specific suffix configurations (cushion type, port configuration, seal material) with your system documentation before ordering to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility.
Works With
- Pneumatic control valves (directional control, flow control)
- Pressure regulators and manifold systems
- Auto-switch sensors and proximity detection
- Standard pneumatic hose and fittings (SAE, ISO thread)
