About the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X150
The AirTAC MGCD32X150 is a double acting, double-rod JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, fitted with a variable air cushion at both ends. Because a 12 mm hard-chrome rod exits both covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread, the rod-side area is active in each direction, so the output force is equal both ways: about 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of the 150 mm stroke, allowing higher speeds and heavier loads without hard metal-to-metal stops, while the rear rod end can carry a stop flag, position marker or a second load.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint with a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome carbon-steel rods, running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), a temperature range of -20 to +70 C and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. For a realistic working load, apply about 0.6 of the thrust: roughly 207 N, or about 17 kg as a safe vertical figure at 0.5 MPa. Ports are 1/8" on both covers, mounting is FA flange or LB foot with I and Y rod knuckles, and adding the S code magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X150 Is Used
High-speed anti-rotation transfer
The through-rod resists rotation while the variable air cushion tames fast 150 mm transfers at up to 800 mm/s, with 345.6 N available in each direction for push-pull handling of small fixtures.
Twin-load press with soft stop
Rod ends on both covers let one cylinder press or mark two stations, and the adjustable cushion at each end gives a smooth stop for light pressing and staking at this 32 mm force class.
Rear-switch slide
The rear rod end carries a cam or flag that trips CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches (with the S magnet), turning the cushioned 150 mm stroke into a compact slide with end-of-travel signals.
Is the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X150 the Right Cylinder?
Size the MGCD32X150 when your application needs roughly 345.6 N (about 35 kgf) in both directions at 0.5 MPa; step up to bore 40, 50 or 63 for more force, or down to bore 20 or 25 for lighter duties. Choose this cushioned double-rod type when you need equal force both ways, anti-rotation guidance and smooth adjustable deceleration at both stroke ends; if your bore is 20-40 and a fixed bumper pad is enough, the MGD double-rod cylinder is the lighter alternative, and for a single rod with a variable cushion pick the MGC. The 150 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Order the S code if you want CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic sensing, select FA flange or LB foot mounting plus I or Y knuckles as needed, and specify G or NPT thread if PT is not required. For long strokes or side loads, add external guidance, and remember the air cushion only decelerates the stroke end, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must be held.

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 MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X150 FAQ
Because the double rod exposes the rod-side area in both directions, output is equal each way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -20 to +70 C, and speed is 30-800 mm/s.
The MGCD32X150 has an adjustable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near each stroke end for smooth high-speed stops; it is not a brake and will not hold the load on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for that. Unlike the MGD, which uses fixed bumper pads, the MGCD cushion is adjustable, and unlike the single-rod MGC it has a rod at both covers, giving equal force both ways and a rear rod end for a stop flag or second load. The optional S code magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
