About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X450
The AirTAC MGC32X450 is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a long 450 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both ends. Unlike the bumper-type MG, this adjustable cushion lets you tune the needle valve so the piston decelerates smoothly near each end of travel, which is exactly what you want when running higher piston speeds or moving heavier loads at up to 800 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa this bore 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.
Construction follows the MG family recipe: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled onto it, plus a hard-chrome plated (20 um) 12 mm carbon-steel rod and a two-way piston seal that also stores lubricant. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi) over a -20 to +70 C range on air filtered to 40 um. As a practical sizing rule, keep vertical lifting to roughly 0.6 of the push force, so about 24 kg safe vertical load at 0.5 MPa. Note that the cushion only decelerates end of stroke; 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 MGC32X450 Is Used
High-speed pusher on packaging lines
The variable air cushion absorbs end-of-stroke shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s, letting this 32 mm bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) cycle cartons or trays fast without hammering the covers.
Conveyor divert and stop stations
A 450 mm stroke covers wide divert gates and stopper rises, while the adjustable cushion eases heavy product streams to a controlled stop at both ends of travel.
Automated assembly clamping and eject
With 563 N push at 0.7 MPa and a hard-chrome 12 mm rod on a SUS304 barrel, the MGC32X450 handles repetitive clamp-and-eject motions in jigs where smooth deceleration protects tooling.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X450 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore, the MGC32X450 sits mid-range in the cushioned MGC family: 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa is about 2.6x the force of the 20 mm bore (157.0 N) and roughly 0.6x of the 40 mm bore (628.3 N), so step up to 40 mm if you need more margin, or down to 25 mm (245.3 N) for lighter duties. For 20-40 mm bores where end-of-stroke impact is not a concern, the plain bumper MG is the lower-cost alternative. The 450 mm stroke is within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order surcharge applies, but long strokes amplify side loading: keep the rod aligned or add external guidance. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available. Add the S code if you want position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; this non-S model carries no magnet and cannot accept a sensor. Ports are 1/8" with PT thread standard (G or NPT on request).

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 MGC32X450 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For vertical lifting, apply a safety factor of about 0.6 of the push force, giving roughly 24 kg safe vertical load at 0.5 MPa.
The cushion is an adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends: turn the needle to throttle exhaust and decelerate the piston smoothly, ideal for higher speeds or heavier moving loads. It is not a brake or position lock, though; on air loss the rod will move, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. The SUS304 barrel and hard-chrome rod suit the -20 to +70 C, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating envelope.
