About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X100S
The AirTAC MGC32X100S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both ends. Unlike the bumper-style MG, this cushion is adjustable: turn the needle valve to dial in smooth deceleration near end of stroke, so the cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds (up to 800 mm/s) and heavier moving loads without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Construction follows the MG family recipe: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled into place (no tie rods, no extruded profile), plus a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant for long service intervals. The S in the model code means a magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be mounted for position feedback. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um; operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and temperature spans -20 to +70 C. As a computed buyer insight: the 402.2 N push equals about 41 kgf, so a safe vertical lifting figure is roughly 20 kg using the 0.6 rule of thumb.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X100S Is Used
High-cycle push-off on assembly stations
The adjustable air cushion lets this 32 mm bore run at the top of its 30-800 mm/s range, ejecting parts at 402.2 N push force without end-of-stroke impact damaging the covers or the workpiece.
Conveyor divert and stopper duty
Moving loads on small conveyor lines benefit from cushioned deceleration at both stroke ends, and the fitted magnet plus a CMSG or DMSG switch confirms extend/retract position for line control.
Clamping and press-fit fixtures
With 563 N push at 0.7 MPa and about 20 kg safe vertical lift capacity, the MGC32X100S suits light clamping and insertion fixtures where smooth approach protects delicate parts.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X100S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range in the MGC line: it gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, about 1.6x the 245.3 N of a 25 mm bore, while the 40 mm step up takes you to 628.3 N. If your application runs slow and light and you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the plain bumper MG in the same bore is the no-cushion alternative; choose MGC when speeds or moving masses would otherwise slam the covers. The 100 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm maximum standard for this bore, and non-standard strokes up to 800 mm are made to order. Mount with the LB foot or FA flange, and add I or Y rod knuckles if the load needs a pivot (the SDB/CB pivot is not offered on MGC). Porting is 1/8" with PT thread as coded; G and NPT are available. For longer strokes or offset loads, guide the rod externally since the 12 mm rod is not intended to absorb side loads.

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 MGC32X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 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. For sizing, treat the 0.5 MPa push as about 41 kgf and apply a 0.6 safety factor, giving roughly 20 kg for vertical lifting.
The cushion is adjustable at both stroke ends: a needle valve meters exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly before it reaches the cover, which is why the MGC handles higher speeds and heavier moving loads than the fixed-bumper MG. It only decelerates the stroke end, however; it is not a lock or brake, and the cylinder will not hold position on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
