The AirTAC Airtac MGC Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MGC32X75S is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The MGC32X75S is a double acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder from AirTAC with a 32 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, and the key difference from the plain MG is the 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 cylinder tolerates higher piston speeds (up to 800 mm/s) and heavier moving loads without hammering the end faces. The cushion is adjustable, not a fixed pad, so you can tune the deceleration to the load. 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 on, plus a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod (20 um plating) carrying an M10x1.25 male thread. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um, with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure and a -20 to +70 C operating range. The two-way piston seal also stores lubricant for long service life. Because the S code is in this model, a magnet is built in and CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be clipped on for position feedback. One caution: the air cushion only decelerates the stroke end - it is not a lock or brake, and the cylinder will not hold a load if air is lost, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.

The variable air cushion absorbs the impact of stopping moving cartons at 32 mm bore force levels (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa), letting you run higher line speeds than a bumper-type cylinder.
Around 41 kgf of push at 0.5 MPa suits light pressing, snapping and clinching tasks, and the -S magnet with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches confirms part presence before the next cycle.
Adjustable end-of-stroke deceleration protects the covers on fast eject strokes, while the SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome rod stand up to washdown-prone packaging lines.
At 32 mm bore this sits in the middle of the MGC range: 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, roughly 41 kgf, so for a safe working load apply the 0.6 rule of thumb for about 24 kg horizontal, or halve it for vertical lifting to around 20 kg. If you need less force, only the 20 mm and 25 mm MGC bores sit below; if you need more, step up to 40 mm (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) or the 50/63 mm bores that only the cushioned MGC family offers. If your application is slow and light and you do not need end-of-stroke deceleration, the bumper-type MG in the same 32 mm bore is the no-cushion alternative. Choose the S code (as here) if you need CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing, and pick LB foot or FA flange mounting, with I or Y rod knuckles available. The 75 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm standard limit for this bore, but on any longer stroke keep side load on the 12 mm rod minimal or guide the load externally.
Quick checklist
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 at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Both stroke ends carry a variable air cushion: adjust the needle valve to dial in piston deceleration, which protects the covers at speeds up to 800 mm/s. It is adjustable, not a fixed bumper pad, and it does not lock the load on air loss. Because this is the S version, a magnet is fitted so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be mounted.
