About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X450S
The AirTAC MGC32X450S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-style MG, the cushion needles let you dial in smooth deceleration near each end of travel, so this cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds and heavier moving loads without hammering the covers. At the standard 0.5 MPa supply it delivers 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N on retract, rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The magnet fitted under the S code allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch mounting for end-of-stroke detection.
Construction follows the MG family recipe: a SUS304 stainless barrel rolled onto the front and back covers with stainless block rivets, and a 12 mm carbon-steel rod hard-chrome plated to 20 um for low wear. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant, extending service intervals. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um, temperatures from -20 to +70 C, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Ports are 1/8" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25. As a rule of thumb, keep vertical lifting loads to about 0.6 of the push force, roughly 24 kg at 0.5 MPa, and note that the cushion only decelerates the stroke end; 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 MGC32X450S Is Used
Conveyor push-off stations
At up to 800 mm/s with a variable air cushion softening the stop, the MGC32X450S can kick cartons off a line quickly without the covers taking the shock of a hard landing.
Fixture clamping and eject
The 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps light fixtures or ejects finished parts, while the adjustable cushion protects tooling when the cycle runs fast or the part is heavy.
Packaging gate and diverters
A 450 mm stroke suits diverting gates and lane changers on packaging machinery; the fitted magnet and CMSG or DMSG switches give reliable gate-open and gate-closed signals.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X450S the Right Cylinder?
With a 32 mm bore the MGC32X450S sits in the middle of the MGC range: it gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, more than the 20 mm (157.0 N) and 25 mm (245.3 N) bores, while the 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N if you need more force in the same JIS footprint. If your application runs slowly with light loads, the plain bumper MG in 32 mm bore is the no-cushion alternative; choose this MGC when speed or moving mass calls for adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration. The 450 mm stroke is within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke 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 means you can snap on CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without reordering. At 450 mm of stroke, keep side loads on the 12 mm rod minimal and consider external guidance for anything but light 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 MGC32X450S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For vertical lifting, keep the load to about 0.6 of the push force, roughly 24 kg at 0.5 MPa, and remember the variable air cushion decelerates the stroke end but does not hold the load if air is lost.
Needle valves at each end throttle the exhaust so the piston decelerates smoothly into the last part of travel; you adjust them to suit your speed and moving mass, unlike the fixed bumper pad on the plain MG. Mounting options are the FA flange and LB foot plus I and Y rod knuckles, and because the S code magnet is fitted, CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be added for position sensing.
