Overview
The SMC MGPM32- is a compact guided pneumatic cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and slide bearing design. Part of SMC’s MGP series, this double-acting pneumatic actuator delivers linear motion with space-saving geometry, making it ideal for tight machine layouts. The cylinder incorporates built-in air cushion technology at both ends for smooth deceleration and load control.
Key Features
- 32mm bore size with compact slide bearing guide
- Double-acting pneumatic operation
- Built-in air cushion buffers at both ends
- Shortened guide rod reduces installation space by up to 22mm
- Multiple mounting options available
- Direct auto-switch mounting compatibility
- Piping from either direction
- Magnetic field resistant design
Technical Specifications
Standard configurations of the MGPM32- series include multiple stroke lengths ranging from 25mm to over 200mm. Pressure rating is 1.0 MPa (10 bar) maximum operating pressure. The cylinder features Rc1/8″ pneumatic threaded ports and piston speeds of 50–500 mm/s depending on load and supply pressure. Standard sealing material is NBR (nitrile rubber). The compact design reduces the machining required for equipment mounting and allows flexible positioning with round or magnetic auto switches.
Typical Applications
- Assembly machinery and pick-and-place automation
- Packaging equipment with tight spatial constraints
- Industrial clamping and positioning systems
- Transfer and material handling equipment
- CNC machine tool automation
- Factory automation and conveyor systems
