About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC25X175S
The AirTAC MGC25X175S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-style MG, the cushion needles let you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration, so this cylinder can run at higher piston speeds and move heavier loads without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull, which is roughly 25 kgf of push force; a common rule of thumb is to size the working load at about 0.6 of that, giving a safe figure near 15 kg.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled onto it, plus a hard-chrome plated (20 um) 10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant, and ports are 1/8". Because the S code is in the model, a magnet is built in and CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be mounted for position feedback. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um, speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and temperatures from -20 to +70 C. Mounting is via FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC25X175S Is Used
Conveyor push-off diverters
With 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and speeds up to 800 mm/s, the variable air cushion lets boxes be kicked off a line quickly while the adjustable deceleration stops the piston smoothly instead of slamming the covers.
Packaging clamp and press-fit stations
The 25 mm bore gives about 25 kgf of push (343.4 N at 0.7 MPa) for clamping cartons or seating light parts, and the cushion absorbs the arrival shock at higher cycle speeds.
Indexed slides with position feedback
The built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, so the 175 mm stroke can be confirmed at both ends on automated fixtures, with the LB foot or FA flange mounting keeping the round body rigid.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC25X175S the Right Cylinder?
At 25 mm bore, the MGC25X175S sits one step up from the smallest cushioned MGC (bore 20, 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) and below the 32 mm bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa), so it suits light-to-medium duty points where a 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa (343.4 N at 0.7 MPa) is enough. If your application runs slow and light and you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the bumper-style MG in the same bore is the no-cushion alternative for diameters 20 to 40. The variable air cushion is the reason to choose MGC: adjust the needle to soften arrival at both ends when speed or moving mass is high. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot and add I or Y rod knuckles if the tooling needs a pivot; the -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or solid-state switches. Note that the cushion only decelerates the stroke end and is not a lock: if the load must be held against air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For strokes near the 500 mm standard limit, guide the rod externally to limit side load.

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 and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC25X175S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore gives 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it gives 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf. For sizing, treat about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa push force as a safe working load, roughly 15 kg.
Adjustable cushion needles at both stroke ends throttle the exhaust near end of travel, decelerating the piston smoothly for higher speeds or heavier moving loads; it is an adjustable air cushion, not a fixed bumper pad. It only decelerates the stroke end and does not lock or hold position on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
