The AirTAC Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X200 is a genuine double acting, double rod + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The AirTAC MGCD32X200 is a double acting, double-rod JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. Because a 12 mm hard-chrome rod exits BOTH covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, the effective area is the rod-side area in both directions, so output is equal both ways: about 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa (theoretical maximum 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa). A variable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, letting this 32 mm cylinder run faster or carry heavier loads than an un-cushioned build. As a rough buyer insight, plan on roughly 17 kg of safe vertical load, which is about half of the 35 kg the 345.6 N push represents at 0.5 MPa.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint with a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and hard-chrome-plated carbon steel rod, and a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), works from -20 to +70 C, and covers 30-800 mm/s. Ports are 1/8". The rear rod end doubles as a mounting point for a stop, flag or second load, and anti-rotation comes naturally from the through-rod. Mount with the LB foot or FA flange, add I or Y rod knuckles, and order the optional S code (magnet) if you want CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch sensing; this standard MGCD32X200 ships without a magnet, so no sensor can be mounted.

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

The through-rod keeps the load from twisting while the variable air cushion at each end absorbs the stop, letting the MGCD32X200 move fixtures between two positions faster than an un-cushioned 32 mm cylinder.
With 345.6 N of equal force in each direction, the double rod can carry a light pressing or riveting load on the front end while the cushioned stroke end gives a smooth, adjustable deceleration instead of a hard impact.
The rear rod end drives a position flag or stop block while the front rod does the work, and with the optional S magnet a CMSG or DMSG switch on the 1/8"-ported 200 mm stroke reports both end positions.
Size the MGCD32X200 by its equal both-way force: 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. If your load needs more, step up to the MGCD40; if less, the MGCD25 is the smaller cushioned double-rod option. Choose this model when you need a variable air cushion at both ends plus a through-rod for anti-rotation, a rear stop or flag, or a second load. For a double-rod cylinder with a fixed bumper pad instead of an air cushion in bores 20-40, look at the MGD; for a single rod with a cushion, the MGC is the equivalent. The 200 mm stroke is within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Mounting is LB foot or FA flange with I or Y knuckles (no SDB or CB), threads are PT, and the optional S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For long strokes with side load, guide the load externally rather than side-loading the rod.
Quick checklist
Because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, output is equal in both directions: 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 is double acting on filtered air (40 um) at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), rated -20 to +70 C, 30-800 mm/s, with a 12 mm hard-chrome rod, M10x1.25 threads both ends and 1/8" ports.
The MGCD32X200 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 lock, so the cylinder will not hold its load on air loss and an external rod lock or pilot check valve is recommended. 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 anti-rotation. Add the S code to fit CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
