About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X200
The AirTAC MGC32X200 is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-type MG, this cushion is adjustable: turn the needle valve to dial in smooth piston deceleration near end of travel, so the cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds and heavier moving loads without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. As a rule of thumb for sizing, treat roughly 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa push force as the safe working load, which for this bore is about 24.6 kgf (around 12.3 kgf if lifting vertically with a 2:1 margin).
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 carbon-steel rod (12 mm diameter, male thread M10x1.25) and a two-way piston seal that also stores lubricant. It is not a tie-rod or extruded-profile design. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -20 to +70 C, and speed range is 30 to 800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um. Ports are 1/8". The 200 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Mounting options are FA flange and LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available; note that the cushion decelerates the stroke end only and 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 MGC32X200 Is Used
Case and carton push-off
With 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa and an adjustable cushion to stop boxes gently at high line speeds, the 32 mm bore suits ejecting cartons from conveyor transfers without jolt or cover damage.
Small press and forming stations
The 563 N push at 0.7 MPa (82 kgf theoretical max) covers light staking, embossing and assembly presses, while the variable air cushion decelerates the ram smoothly before bottom dead center.
Gate and diverter actuation
The 200 mm stroke diverts product between conveyor lanes; the cushion absorbs the moving gate mass at both stroke ends, and the SUS304 barrel plus hard-chrome rod resists washdown-adjacent shop environments.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X200 the Right Cylinder?
Size the MGC32X200 by its real forces: 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa (563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), which places this 32 mm bore in the mid range of the MGC family - larger than the 20 mm (157 N push) and 25 mm (245.3 N push) bores, below the 40 mm (628.3 N push) and the 50/63 mm bores that only the cushioned MGC offers. If your application runs at moderate speed with light loads and you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the bumper-type MG in the same bore range is the no-cushion alternative; choose the MGC when piston speed or moving mass would otherwise slam the covers. The variable air cushion at both ends is the key differentiator: adjust it to match load and speed rather than accepting a fixed pad. For mounting, pick FA flange or LB foot, and add I or Y rod knuckles where the tooling needs a pivot-style rod attachment. If you need position feedback, order the -S magnet variant so a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch can be clipped on - this SKU (no S code) carries no magnet and accepts no sensor. At 200 mm stroke with a 12 mm rod, keep side loads low or guide the load externally; the long stroke amplifies buckling and wear risk under lateral force.

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 MGC32X200 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402.2 N and the pull force is 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A practical sizing rule is about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa push force as safe working load, roughly 24.6 kgf, or about 12.3 kgf for vertical lifting with a 2:1 margin.
The cushion is an adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends: a needle valve meters exhaust flow near end of travel so the piston decelerates smoothly, which is why the MGC handles higher speeds and heavier moving loads than the bumper-type MG. It only decelerates the stroke end - it is not a lock, brake or position holder, and the cylinder will not hold a load on air loss. For a held load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome plated rod suit the -20 to +70 C, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating envelope.
