About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X150S
The AirTAC MGC32X150S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, double acting, with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-type MG, its cushion needles let you dial in a smooth deceleration near end of travel, so this 32 mm bore unit tolerates higher piston speeds and heavier moving loads without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore 32 cylinder uses a 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod with an M10x1.25 male thread and 1/8" air ports.
Construction follows the MG family recipe: a SUS304 stainless barrel with the front and back covers and a stainless block riveted and rolled into place, plus a two-way piston seal that also stores lubricant. The fitted magnet (the S in the code) accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position feedback. Operating range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um, speeds of 30 to 800 mm/s, and temperatures from -20 to +70 C. As a sizing rule of thumb, treat the 402.2 N push (about 41 kgf) at 0.5 MPa as roughly 24 kg of safe vertical lifting load, and note that the cushion decelerates the stroke end only - it is not a lock, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held on air loss.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X150S Is Used
High-speed conveyor stop and divert
The variable air cushion absorbs fast-moving packages or pallets at 30-800 mm/s cycle speeds, letting the 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa stop loads smoothly without cover impact.
Cyclic press and ejection station
With 563 N push at 0.7 MPa and adjustable deceleration at both ends, the MGC32X150S suits repetitive eject, clamp or light-press moves where hard stops would shorten cylinder life.
Packaging machinery indexing
The magnet accepts CMSG or DMSG switches for end-position confirmation, while the cushioned stroke ends protect tooling during rapid push-pull indexing of cartons or trays.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X150S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore this model sits in the middle of the MGC range: it gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, where the 25 mm bore offers 245.3 N and the 40 mm bore 628.3 N. Choose the MGC over the bumper-type MG (available in 20 to 40 mm) whenever your cycle speed or moving mass needs adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration. The 150 mm stroke is comfortably within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore; longer 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 tooling needs a pivoting joint - the MGC does not take SDB or CB pivots. The -S magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be fitted directly. On long strokes, keep side loads off the 12 mm rod or guide the load externally, and remember the cushion only slows the piston near the ends; it never holds position if air pressure is lost.

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 MGC32X150S 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, halve the 0.5 MPa push force: about 20 kgf of usable working force, or roughly 24 kg of safe vertical lift.
The S means a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the SUS304 stainless barrel for position sensing. The cushion itself is a variable air cushion at both stroke ends: turn the needle valves to adjust deceleration for your speed and load. It slows the piston near the ends but is not a brake or lock - fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put on air loss.
