The new style MGP has a shorter guide rod and thinner plate resulting in a weight reduction of up to 17% over the original MGP.??The series is designed for high side load applications found in material handling, lifting and stopping. The?cylinder utilizes an ultra-compact design by incorporating the cylinder body as part of the guide body. As the stroke length increases, so does the bearing length, thus enhancing the cylinder's load bearing capacity. The MGP offers higher load capability, longer strokes, 2 port locations, switch mounting grooves on two sides, and a more versatile T-slot mounting than the MGQ series.
