About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X175S
The AirTAC MGC32X175S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 175 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 (up to 800 mm/s) and handle 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 force, 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 footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled into place, plus a hard-chrome plated (20 um) 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant for long service intervals. The S code means a magnet is built in, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be clipped on for position feedback. As a sizing rule of thumb, keep working loads near 0.6 of the push force: at 0.5 MPa that is roughly 24 kg for a safe vertical lift. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X175S Is Used
Conveyor stop and divert
The variable air cushion absorbs the impact of fast-moving totes or cartons at end of stroke, letting the 32 mm bore cycle at speed without jarring the mechanism.
Packaging pusher and ejector
With 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, the MGC32X175S ejects or indexes product on packaging lines, while the adjustable cushion protects lightweight tooling at high cycle rates.
Positioned slide actuation
The built-in magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, so the stroke can be monitored or interlocked in assembly and handling fixtures.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X175S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore, the MGC32X175S sits in the middle of the cushioned MGC range: 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, about 24 kg of safe vertical working load using the 0.6 rule. If you need more force, step up to bore 40 (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa); if less, bore 25 gives 245.3 N. There is no smaller MGC than bore 20, and no larger than bore 63. For bores 20-40 the plain MG is the no-cushion alternative if your application runs slow and light and does not need adjustable deceleration. The 175 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 tooling needs a pivoting joint. The fitted magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Keep side loads off the rod on longer strokes, or guide the load externally to protect the hard-chrome surface and bearings.

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 MGC32X175S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures are 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, keep working loads around 0.6 of the push force, roughly 24 kg for a vertical lift.
The cushion needle at each stroke end throttles the exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly; it is adjustable, not a fixed bumper pad. The cushion only slows end of travel and is not a lock or brake, so on air loss the rod will move. For a held load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
