About the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X200S
The AirTAC MGCD32X200S is a double acting, double-rod JIS mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. A rod exits both covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the piston works on the rod-side area in both directions and delivers an equal force of about 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, up to 70.5 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa). A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune the deceleration for smooth, high-speed stops, and the rear rod end can carry a second load, a stop plate or a position flag while the through-rod resists rotation. For a realistic working load, size around 0.6 of that force, roughly 207 N, or about 17 kg for a vertical lift.
Construction follows the JIS round-body mini format: a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod, two-way lubricant-storing piston seals and a 1/8" port. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), withstands a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), operates from -20 to +70 C at 30-800 mm/s, and the fitted magnet (the S code) accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Mount it with an FA flange or LB foot, add an I or Y rod knuckle, and order PT, G or NPT ports.

Where the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X200S Is Used
High-speed anti-rotation transfer
The through-rod keeps the load from rotating while the variable air cushion tames 30-800 mm/s travel into smooth stops, ideal for pick-and-place slides moving parts between fixtures at 345.6 N per direction.
Twin-load press with soft stop
Use both rod ends to press two workpieces at once with equal 345.6 N force each way at 0.5 MPa, while the adjustable cushions at both ends absorb the impact for a gentle, repeatable seating operation.
Rear-switch slide with position flag
Fit a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch on the magnetized piston and hang a stop or flag from the rear rod end, turning the 200 mm stroke into a cushioned, sensed slide for indexing or end-of-travel confirmation.
Is the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X200S the Right Cylinder?
Size the MGCD32X200S by its equal both-way force: 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs more, step up to bore 40 (527.8 N) or bore 50 (824.3 N); if less, bore 25 (206.1 N) or bore 20 (131.9 N) may suffice. Choose the MGCD when you need a through-rod with adjustable cushioning; for a bumper-style double-rod cylinder in bores 20-40 look at the MGD, and for a single rod with a cushion choose the MGC. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston at each stroke end - it is not a lock, so the cylinder will not hold its load on air loss; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The 200 mm stroke is within the 500 mm standard range for this bore, but keep side loads low on long strokes and guide the load externally. Mounting options are FA flange or LB foot with I/Y knuckles (no SDB/CB), and the fitted magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing.

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 MGCD32X200S FAQ
Because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, the force 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -20 to +70 C, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um.
The MGCD32X200S has an adjustable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near each stroke end for smooth stops at higher speeds or with heavier loads; it is not a brake and will not hold the load on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. 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 ends, giving equal force in both directions plus a rear rod end for a stop or second load. The fitted magnet also accepts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
