About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X150
The AirTAC MGC32X150 is a double acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-type MG, the cushion needles let you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration, so this cylinder can run at higher piston speeds and carry 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 JIS mini-cylinder footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled onto it, plus a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod (male thread M10x1.25) and a two-way piston seal that also stores lubricant. It is not a tie-rod or profile cylinder. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-800 mm/s, and media is air filtered to 40 um. As a computed buyer insight, the 402.2 N push force equals about 41 kgf, so a safe vertical working load is roughly 24 kg using the 0.6 rule of thumb. Note that this SKU carries no magnet: the optional S code is required before a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch can be fitted.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X150 Is Used
Conveyor stop and divert
The variable air cushion absorbs the impact of fast-moving cartons or pallet stops at 30-800 mm/s, protecting the covers where the bumper MG would hammer at high cycle rates.
Small press and forming fixtures
With 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa and 563 N at 0.7 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits light staking, marking and assembly presses where smooth deceleration onto the workpiece matters.
Packaging machine actuators
Compact JIS round-body footprint with FA flange or LB foot mounting fits tight packaging and filling machinery, and the -S option adds CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position feedback.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X150 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore, the MGC32X150 sits mid-range in the cushioned MGC family: it gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, roughly 1.6x the 245.3 N of the 25 mm bore, while the 40 mm bore raises this to 628.3 N. If you do not need adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration, the bumper-type MG covers 20-40 mm bores as the no-cushion alternative; for bores above 40 mm the MGC (50/63) is the only cushioned option in the MG family. The 150 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and non-standard strokes up to 800 mm are made to order. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, and add I or Y rod knuckles where the load articulates; the MGC does not take SDB/CB pivots. Ports are 1/8" with PT thread as standard (G or NPT on request). Order the -S suffix if you plan to fit CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Because it is a round-body cylinder, keep side loads on the rod low on longer strokes and guide external slides where needed.

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 MGC32X150 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa these rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. For sizing, treat the 402.2 N push (about 41 kgf) as 0.6x for a safe vertical load of roughly 24 kg.
Adjustable cushion needles at both stroke ends throttle the exhaust air near end of travel, letting you tune the deceleration 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 is not a lock or brake: on air loss the MGC32X150 will not hold position, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
