Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD25X400

The AirTAC MGCD25X400 is a double acting, double rod JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 400 mm stroke. A piston rod exits both covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the rod-side area is active in both directions and the output force is equal either way: about 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both ends carry a variable air cushion, so the piston decelerates smoothly at each end of the long 400 mm travel instead of slamming into the covers, which suits higher speeds and heavier moving loads.

The barrel is SUS304 stainless with hard-chrome plated rods and riveted covers, built to the JIS mini-cylinder footprint. Air filtered to 40 um drives it at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), it runs from -20 to +70 C at 30-800 mm/s, and ports are 1/8". For a realistic working load, size around 0.6 of the thrust, roughly 12 kgf horizontal; vertically, halve the 206.1 N for about 10 kg. The 400 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order length. Note this model has no magnet: without the optional S code no CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor can be fitted, and the cylinder does not hold its load on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve where holding matters.
