The AirTAC Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X350S is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The AirTAC MGC32X350S is a double acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 350 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Turn the cushion needle in to throttle the exhaust and the piston decelerates smoothly into the cover, so this cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds and heavier moving loads than the bumper-type MG without hammering the end caps. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled onto it, and a 12 mm hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant, cutting maintenance intervals. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range -20 to +70 C, and speed range 30-800 mm/s. The fitted magnet (the S in the code) accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches, and a practical rule of thumb is that a safe vertical working load is about 0.6 of the push force, roughly 24 kg here.

The 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa stops cartons or totes on a conveyor line, while the variable air cushion absorbs the moving load at end of stroke instead of hammering the covers.
Pushes product into cartons or off a belt at up to 800 mm/s; the adjustable cushion lets you tune deceleration so lighter packs are not crushed against the end of travel.
563 N of push at 0.7 MPa gives enough force for light pressing, staking and clamping jigs, and the fitted magnet plus CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches confirms clamp completion to the PLC.
At 32 mm bore this is the mid-size of the MGC range: 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa puts it above the 20 mm (157 N) and 25 mm (245.3 N) sizes and below the 40 mm (628.3 N), 50 mm (981.3 N) and 63 mm (1557.9 N) versions. If you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the bumper-type MG in the same bore is the no-cushion alternative for 20-40 mm. The 350 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard item; strokes beyond 500 mm up to 800 mm are made to order. Order the FA flange or LB foot mounting, add I or Y rod knuckles if the load pivots, and keep the -S magnet if you want CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing. With a 350 mm stroke and a 12 mm rod, check side loads carefully: guide the load externally rather than cantilevering it off the rod, and use the adjustable cushion to soften arrival at both ends when running near the 800 mm/s top speed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For held or vertical loads, size to about 0.6 of the push force, roughly 24 kg, and add an external rod lock or pilot check valve because the air cushion only decelerates end of stroke and does not lock the piston.
The S means a piston magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches can be clipped onto the SUS304 stainless barrel for position feedback. The variable air cushion at both ends is adjusted with a needle screw on each cover: open it for free travel, close it to slow the piston smoothly into the cover when running fast or carrying a heavy moving load.
