About the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X350
The AirTAC MGCD32X350 is a double acting, double rod JIS mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 350 mm stroke. A hard-chrome 12 mm rod exits both covers with an 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 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. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in smooth deceleration for higher speeds or heavier moving loads, and the rear rod end can carry a second load, a stop, or a switch flag.
Construction follows the JIS round-body mini format: a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel with hard-chrome plated rods, ports at 1/8", and a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, -20 to +70 C, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um. As a practical sizing rule, keep the working load near 0.6 of the available force, about 207 N, which for a vertical lift means roughly 17 kg. Add the optional S magnet to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X350 Is Used
High-speed anti-rotation transfer
The through-rod keeps the load from twisting while the variable air cushion absorbs the stop at both ends, letting the MGCD32X350 cycle fast at 30-800 mm/s without hard impact.
Twin-load press with soft stop
With 345.6 N available in each direction at 0.5 MPa, the front and rear rod ends can each carry a light pressing or marking load while the adjustable cushion gives a gentle final approach.
Rear-switch slide positioning
Use the rear rod end to drive a flag or stop on a 350 mm slide; order the -S version with CMSG or DMSG switches to signal end positions on this cushioned double-rod cylinder.
Is the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X350 the Right Cylinder?
Size the MGCD32X350 when your load needs roughly 200-340 N of equal force in both directions at normal working pressure; step up to MGCD40 or MGCD50 for heavier loads, or down to MGCD25 for lighter duty. If you need a double-rod cylinder at bore 20-40 with a fixed bumper instead of an adjustable cushion, choose the MGD; for a single-rod cushioned cylinder, choose the MGC. This model has a variable air cushion at both ends, ideal for high-speed or high-inertia strokes that must stop smoothly without hard impact. The through-rod also gives natural anti-rotation guidance and a rear rod end for a stop or flag. Mount with the LB foot or FA flange, and pair with I or Y rod knuckles for off-axis loads; CB and SDB mounts are not offered. The -S code adds the magnet required for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; this non-S SKU carries no magnet and accepts no sensor. At 350 mm the stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit for bore 32, but long strokes amplify side loading, so align the load carefully or use external guides.

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 MGCD32X350 FAQ
Because it is a double rod cylinder, 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, and speed 30-800 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The MGCD has a variable air cushion at both ends: you adjust the orifice to decelerate the piston smoothly for high-speed or heavy-load stops. It is not a lock, so the cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for that. The MGD is a double-rod cylinder with a fixed bumper pad instead of an adjustable cushion, and the MGC is a single-rod cushioned cylinder.
