About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X300
The AirTAC MGC32X300 is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 300 mm stroke, built with a variable air cushion at both ends. Unlike the bumper-type MG, the cushion needles let you dial in smooth end-of-stroke deceleration, so this cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds (up to 800 mm/s) and heavier moving loads without hammering the covers. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A practical rule of thumb for vertical lifting is about 0.6 of the push force, which puts the safe working load near 24 kg.
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 (20 um) 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant for long service life. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the working temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Ports are 1/8". Note that the air cushion only decelerates the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake, 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 MGC32X300 Is Used
Conveyor push-off stations
The variable air cushion lets parts be ejected from the line at higher speeds while the piston decelerates smoothly at stroke end, and 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa easily clears cartons or bins off a belt.
Light clamping and press fitting
With up to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, the MGC32X300 handles fixture clamping and small press-fit operations where adjustable end-of-stroke damping protects the tooling from impact.
Vertical lift-and-lower modules
A safe vertical working load of roughly 24 kg (about 0.6 of the 402.2 N push force) suits small lift stations; pair with a pilot check valve if the load must hold on air loss.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X300 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore, the MGC32X300 sits mid-range in the cushioned MGC family: it offers 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, roughly 2.6x the force of the 20 mm bore (157.0 N) and about 1.6x the 25 mm bore (245.3 N), while the 40 mm bore steps up to 628.3 N. If your application runs at moderate speed with light loads and you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the bumper-type MG in 20-40 mm is the no-cushion alternative. The 300 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard item; strokes up to 800 mm are made to order. Mounting options are FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available for the rod end. If you need position sensing, order the -S magnet variant, which accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; this non-S model carries no magnet and cannot take a sensor. With a 300 mm stroke and a 12 mm rod, watch side loads: keep them minimal or guide the load externally to avoid rod bending over the longer travel.

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 MGC32X300 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The cushion needle at each end throttles exhaust air to decelerate the piston smoothly near end of travel, which is adjustable to suit your speed and load; it is not a fixed bumper pad. The cushion only slows the stroke end and is not a brake, so for a held load use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome 12 mm rod keep the build corrosion resistant.
