About the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X60S
The AirTAC MGC32X60S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, double acting, with a variable air cushion fitted at both stroke ends. Turn the cushion needle in and the piston decelerates smoothly before it reaches the cover, so this 32 mm bore can run at higher speeds or carry heavier moving loads than the bumper-type MG without hammering the end caps. Air pushes the piston both ways: 402.2 N forward and 345.6 N back at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi), rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa (101.5 psi). The magnet fitted under the S code lets CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches report piston position.
Build quality matches the rest of the MG family: a SUS304 stainless barrel with covers and stainless block riveted and rolled onto it, plus a hard-chrome plated (20 um) carbon-steel rod on a 12 mm shaft with an M10x1.25 male thread. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant, and ports are 1/8". Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with filtered air to 40 um, temperatures from -20 to +70 C, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. 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 MGC32X60S Is Used
High-speed conveyor stopper
The variable air cushion lets the 32 mm bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) arrest fast-moving cartons smoothly at end of stroke instead of hammering the cover, cycle after cycle.
Small press and forming fixture
About 41 kgf of push force with adjustable deceleration suits light pressing, staking and forming jigs where the ram must arrive gently on the workpiece.
Position-monitored gating on automation lines
The fitted magnet works with CMSG or DMSG switches so the PLC confirms extend and retract of gates or diverters, while the cushion absorbs the momentum of the moving mechanism.
Is the Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGC32X60S delivers 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi), which is about 41 kgf; apply the usual 0.6 safety factor and treat roughly 24.6 kg as the safe working load, or about 20.5 kg for vertical lifts. Step down to the 25 mm bore (245.3 N) for lighter duty, or up to 40 mm (628.3 N) for more force; the 50 and 63 mm bores reach 981.3 N and 1557.9 N. If your cycle is slow and the load is light, the plain bumper MG in the same bore is the no-cushion alternative for 20-40 mm. The variable air cushion is the reason to choose MGC when speed or moving mass would otherwise slam the covers. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot, add I or Y rod knuckles, and the fitted magnet accepts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm standard range, but on any long stroke keep side load off the rod and use external guides.

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 MGC32X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa (101.5 psi) those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Applying a 0.6 safety factor to the 0.5 MPa push gives roughly 24.6 kg of safe working load, or about 20.5 kg for vertical lifting.
The cushion is adjustable: a needle at each end meters the exhaust so the piston decelerates smoothly near end of travel, which suits higher speeds and heavier moving loads. It only decelerates the stroke end - it is not a lock or brake, and the cylinder will not hold position on air loss. For a held load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod, JIS round-body construction, and the fitted magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches make it easy to integrate.
