The AirTAC Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG40X75S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 40 mm bore pushing 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, the MG40X75S is a double acting JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 75 mm stroke, built on a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and a hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod. The fixed anti-impact pad at each stroke end softens direction changes - it decelerates the piston, it is not an adjustable air cushion. A built-in magnet is already fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be added without ordering the -S suffix.
In practice the numbers give you headroom: at 0.5 MPa the push force of 628.3 N translates to roughly 64 kgf, so plan on lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, and treat around 377 N as the realistic working force for continuous duty. Pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 30-800 mm/s, and the JIS mounting footprint accepts standard mini-cylinder brackets and I/Y rod knuckles.

The 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa settles flaps and labels on carton closing heads, and the 75 mm stroke suits shallow press fixtures on packaging lines.
The built-in magnet drives a CMSG switch to confirm clamp state on machining jigs, while the fixed bumper pad quiets each clamp cycle at 30-800 mm/s.
In assembly cells the 40 mm bore ejects housings weighing around 30 kg from nests vertically, with the stainless barrel shrugging off coolant mist.
At 628.3 N push (527.8 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore sits at the top of the MG range; the next bore down, the 32 mm MG, delivers 402.2 N, so step down if your load is under about 240 N working. If you need more force or an adjustable cushion for higher speeds, move to the MGC series which extends to 50 and 63 mm bores. Remember this cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the rod drifts - so fit an external rod lock or a pilot check valve for held loads. The fitted magnet means CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing works out of the box; choose LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot mounting to suit the machine frame.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, port 1/8", rod 16 mm with M14x1.5 male thread.
No - the S in the model code means the piston magnet is factory-fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches mount directly on the SUS304 barrel. The fixed bumper pads at the stroke ends only soften impact; they do not cushion adjustably or hold a load when air is lost.
