About the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X350S
The AirTAC MGCD32X350S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, double acting, with a double rod and a variable air cushion at both ends. A 12 mm rod exits both covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the two rod ends move together and the effective area is the rod-side area in both directions. The result is an equal output force 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. Because the cushion is adjustable, not a fixed bumper pad, you can tune the deceleration at each stroke end for smooth high-speed stops with this 350 mm stroke.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint: a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod for long seal and bearing life. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), air filtered to 40 um, a temperature range of -20 to +70 C, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The fitted magnet (the S in the model code) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. For a realistic working figure, apply about 0.6 of the push force, roughly 207 N, or for a vertical lift halve the 35 kgf thrust to about 17 kg.

Where the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X350S Is Used
High-speed anti-rotation transfer
The through-rod keeps the payload from twisting while the adjustable air cushion brakes each end, letting this 32 mm bore cycle at speed over its 350 mm stroke without hard stops.
Twin-load press with soft stop
Rod ends front and rear carry two small fixtures with about 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa, and the variable cushion gives a gentle landing on both press ends.
Rear-switch slide
The rear rod end drives a position flag past CMSG or DMSG switches (magnet fitted) while the main end does the work, all cushioned at both stroke ends.
Is the Airtac MGCD Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MGCD32X350S the Right Cylinder?
Size the MGCD32X350S when your load needs roughly 200 N of usable force (about 0.6 of the 345.6 N rating at 0.5 MPa) over a 350 mm stroke with equal force in both directions. Bore 32 sits mid-range in the MGCD family: bore 20 is the smallest, bore 63 the largest. If you need a double-rod cylinder with a fixed bumper instead of an adjustable cushion in bores 20-40, look at the MGD; if you want a single rod with a cushion, the MGC is the equivalent. The through-rod gives natural anti-rotation and a rear rod end you can use for a stop plate, flag or second load. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot (no CB or SDB on this family) and add I or Y rod knuckles where the load pivots. The fitted magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For long strokes like this 350 mm, keep side loads on the rod low or guide the load externally.

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 MGCD32X350S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. 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 cycles at 30-800 mm/s.
The cushion is an adjustable air brake at both stroke ends that decelerates the piston for smooth stops; it is not a lock, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load on air loss. 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, so force is equal both ways. The fitted magnet also accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
