About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X50
The AirTAC MGC32X50 is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both stroke ends. Unlike the bumper-type MG, the cushion needles let you dial in smooth deceleration near end of travel, so this cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds and heavier moving 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.
Construction follows the MG family recipe: 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) and a two-way piston seal that also stores lubricant. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), survives 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, works from -20 to +70 C, and cycles at 30-800 mm/s. Ports are 1/8". As a rule of thumb, keep vertical lifted loads near 0.6 of the push force, about 24 kg, for a safe working margin.

Where the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X50 Is Used
Conveyor stop and divert
The variable air cushion absorbs the impact of stopping moving cartons at speed, while 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa handles typical package divert duties on light conveyor lines.
Small press and forming fixture
Adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration protects tooling, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa suits light staking, marking and assembly presses on compact JIS-style machines.
Palletizer push-off arm
Fast cycling at up to 800 mm/s with cushioned stops suits pushing cases off a pallet layer; the SUS304 barrel and hard-chrome rod stand up to humid warehouse air.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range in the MGC line: roughly 2.6x the push force of the 20 mm bore (157 N at 0.5 MPa) and about 64% of the 40 mm bore (628.3 N), so size up if you need more than 402 N of push. If your application is slow and light and you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the plain bumper-type MG covers 20-40 mm bores without the cushion. The 50 mm stroke here is well inside the 500 mm standard limit for this bore, and non-standard strokes up to 800 mm are made to order. Mounting options are FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles for the front end. Order the -S suffix if you want position sensing: the magnet it adds is required for the CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and this no-S model cannot take a sensor. With a 12 mm rod on a long stroke, watch side loads and guide the load externally.

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 MGC32X50 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. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For vertical lifting, keep the load near 0.6 of the push force, roughly 24 kg.
Needle valves at each end throttle the exhaust near end of stroke, so you can tune the deceleration for your speed and load; it is adjustable, not a fixed pad. The cushion only decelerates the piston, 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.
