The SMC MGJ10-5 is a miniature guide rod air cylinder designed for applications requiring precision and compact size. This series is commonly used in situations where space is limited but accurate linear motion is essential.

Key Specifications

1. Model Number: MGJ10-5
2. Cylinder Type:
   • Miniature guide rod air cylinder with two guide rods for high precision and resistance to side loads.
3. Bore Size:
   • 10 mm (The diameter of the cylinder bore, which affects the force the cylinder can generate).
4. Stroke Length:
   • 5 mm (The maximum distance the piston can move).
5. Guide Rods:
   • The cylinder is equipped with two guide rods, which prevent rotation and add stability, allowing for precise movement even when subjected to side loads.
6. Action Type:
   • Double-acting (Air pressure is used for both extending and retracting the piston, offering precise control in both directions).
7. Mounting Type:
   • Standard mounting configurations include body mounting with holes or brackets for installation in compact spaces.
8. Port Size:
   • Typically, M5 port size for this model, suitable for small bore sizes.
9. Operating Pressure:
   • 0.15 MPa to 0.7 MPa (21.75 psi to 101.5 psi).
10. Operating Temperature:

• -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F), making it suitable for standard industrial environments.

11. Non-Rotating Accuracy:

• The guide rods provide non-rotating accuracy, which is important in applications requiring consistent alignment.

12. Materials:

• Cylinder Body: Anodized aluminum for a lightweight and corrosion-resistant design.
• Guide Rods: Typically made from stainless steel for durability and wear resistance.

13. Cushioning:

• The cylinder may include rubber bumpers at the ends of the stroke to reduce impact noise and wear.

Features

• Compact Size: The MGJ series is designed to be extremely compact, making it suitable for applications with limited space.
• High Precision: The use of guide rods ensures accurate linear motion and prevents rotation, even under lateral loads.
• Double-Acting Design: Air pressure is used to move the piston in both directions, providing precise control.
• Lightweight Construction: The use of aluminum and stainless steel components ensures the cylinder is both durable and easy to install.
• Stability: The two guide rods add stability to the piston movement, making it ideal for applications that experience side loads or require high precision.

Applications

• Electronics Manufacturing: Used in equipment that requires small, precise linear movements, such as in pick-and-place machines or assembly stations.
• Medical Devices: Ideal for medical equipment where accuracy and small size are critical, such as in laboratory automation or surgical devices.
• Robotics: Utilized in compact robotic systems where precise, repeatable linear motion is required.
• Packaging Machinery: Perfect for compact packaging equipment that requires reliable and precise motion control.
