Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG32X160S
The AirTAC Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG32X160S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.

About the Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG32X160S
With a 32 mm bore and 160 mm stroke, this MG delivers about 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa - a mid-range force class suited to clamping, ejecting and light lifting on compact machinery. It is a double acting JIS round-body mini cylinder: air drives the rod in both directions, and fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the deceleration at each end of travel. The magnet built into the piston lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report rod position without any extra fitting work.
The barrel is SUS304 stainless steel rolled and riveted onto the front and rear covers, paired with a 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod (M10x1.25 male thread) - a combination that shrugs off washdown and damp shop air far better than painted-steel minis. Because the footprint follows the JIS mini-cylinder standard, standard brackets and I or Y rod knuckles bolt straight on. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 240 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa (about 60 percent of the rating), which corresponds to lifting around 12 kg vertically with a sensible margin.

Where the Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG32X160S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium or small steel workpieces in drilling and milling fixtures, with the bumper pad damping the clamp snap.
Conveyor push-off stations
A 160 mm stroke sweeps cartons or trays sideways off a transfer belt; the built-in magnet triggers a CMSG switch to confirm full retract before the next part arrives.
Carton flap tucking
Mid-range force folds flaps and seats inserts on small packaging lines, where the stainless SUS304 barrel tolerates frequent wipe-down cleaning.
Is the Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG32X160S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 402.2 N; the 25 mm MG below it manages only 245.3 N, while the 40 mm MG steps up to 628.3 N - so pick the 32 when your load sits between roughly 150 and 240 N of real demand. If your cycle runs fast or carries heavier inertia, the cushioned MGC in the same bore family gives adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed bumper pads here. Remember that when air is removed or the valve centres, the rod drifts freely - add a pilot check valve or external rod lock if the load must stay put. The 160 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm standard range for this bore, but keep side loads off the 12 mm rod and guide them externally. Mount with LB foot, FA flange or CB clevis (SDB pivot with CB); the S in the model code means the magnet is already fitted for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensing.

Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion/impact settings and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG32X160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Yes - the S in MG32X160S means a piston magnet is already installed, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed/hall switches clip directly onto the 32 mm barrel to signal end-of-stroke or mid-position. Without the magnet option no sensor can be used.
