MGPL16-40Z Applications
The SMC MGPL1640Z provides a mid-range 40 mm stroke on the 16 mm bore MGP-Z guide cylinder, a common choice for transfer pushers, lifting stations and tool advance on assembly cells where 30 mm is too short and 50 mm overshoots. Two guide rods on ball bushings resist rotation and transverse load, keeping the mounting plate square through the full stroke. The built-in magnet accepts round and magnetic-field-resistant auto switches without a spacer.
