About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X225S
The AirTAC MGC32X225S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 225 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 move heavier 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. The magnet built into the piston (the S code) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches to be mounted for position feedback.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled into place, plus a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod (male thread M10x1.25) that resists wear and scoring. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant for long service intervals. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, with an operating range of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C and speed 30-800 mm/s. Ports are 1/8" with PT threading (G and NPT available). Note that the air cushion only decelerates the stroke ends; 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 MGC32X225S Is Used
High-cycle push-off stations
At up to 800 mm/s with adjustable cushioning, the MGC32X225S ejects or pushes parts off conveyors quickly while the air cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke impact that a bumper-only mini cylinder would suffer.
Small assembly press and clinch fixtures
With 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa and 563 N at 0.7 MPa, this bore suits light pressing, snapping and clinching tasks where the cushion smooths tool entry and the magnet enables mid-stroke sensing.
Packaging gate and diverter actuation
The 225 mm stroke and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa give enough travel and return force for product diverters and gating arms, with the variable cushion preventing gate slam at each reversal.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X225S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGC32X225S sits in the middle of the cushioned MGC range: it gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 245.3 N for the 25 mm bore, while the 40 mm bore steps up to 628.3 N. If your application runs fast or carries a moving load into the end of stroke, the adjustable air cushion is the reason to choose MGC over the bumper-type MG (offered in 20-40 mm bores without cushioning); if you need more force with the same cushioning, the 50 mm bore reaches 981.3 N. The 225 mm stroke is within the 500 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order surcharge applies. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, and add I or Y rod knuckles where the load pivots. The fitted magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For a computed working figure, halve the 402.2 N push (about 41 kgf) for a safe vertical lift of roughly 20 kg; for horizontal moves, size so the load stays under about 60 percent of push force, roughly 24 kgf equivalent. On the 225 mm stroke, keep side loads on the rod minimal and consider external guidance for anything but light, well-aligned 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 MGC32X225S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore gives 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um, and speed can be set anywhere from 30 to 800 mm/s.
The cushion is an adjustable air buffer at both stroke ends: turn the needle valve to meter exhaust and decelerate the piston smoothly, which lets you run faster strokes and heavier moving loads than the fixed-bumper MG. It only slows the piston near end of travel - it is not a brake or position lock, so for a held load fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The cylinder is built to JIS dimensions with a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel, hard-chrome rod, 1/8" PT ports, and the S code magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
