SMC
Guided Actuators
Guided cylinders utilize guide rods mounted parallel to the piston rod to provide stable, non-rotating, high side load performance. SMC offers dual rod, heavy duty and precision actuator models. Like rodless cylinders, SMC guide rod cylinders reduce rod bending, piston bending and uneven seal wear. Low profile guided actuator series are available for restrictive space limitations.
Series MGJ is a miniature sized version of the MGP standard guided actuator designed for small load applications that require high accuracy. Its integrated guide rods provides a non-rotating accuracy of +/-0.1°. It is targeted for the electronic equipment and instrumentation industries and not intended for use in stopper applications.
Series MGT integrates a high precision bearing manual turntable with a MGP, standard guided actuator. The turntable has an embedded positioning mechanism each at 90° and 180° of rotation detected by an auto-switch sensor. The (L) high precision ball bushing allows for smooth operation that ensures stable travel resistance, suitable for pushing and lifting applications. The (M) carbon steel alloy slide bearing provides lateral stability protecting it from side load impacts, suitable for stopping applications.
