About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X100S
The AirTAC MGD32X100S is a double acting, double-rod JIS mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. 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 output force is equal in both directions: about 345.6 N each way 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 both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, there is no separate push and pull rating to juggle when sizing the load. The fitted magnet (the S code) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to be clamped directly on the stainless barrel for end-of-stroke signalling.
Construction follows the JIS round-body mini format: a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted covers and hard-chrome plated rods that stand up to damp and washdown environments, with 1/8" ports on every bore in the series. A fixed anti-impact bumper pad softens the stroke ends without any adjustment. As a practical sizing note, halving the 0.5 MPa force gives a vertical lifting figure of roughly 17 kg, and keeping the working load near 0.6 of the rated force, about 21 kg, leaves a comfortable margin. Note that the cylinder does not hold position on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X100S Is Used
Anti-rotation slide feed
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, keeping a 100 mm slide stroke repeatable on small assembly fixtures where a single-rod cylinder would twist under offset loading.
Twin-load push station
With 345.6 N available at each rod end simultaneously at 0.5 MPa, one MGD32X100S can eject two parts or drive two tooling points from a single valve and port set.
Rear-mounted switch flag
The back rod end carries a stop or switch flag, and the fitted magnet accepts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, giving both electrical and mechanical stroke confirmation.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X100S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGD32X100S delivers 345.6 N in both directions, sitting between the 25 mm MGD (206.1 N) and the 40 mm MGD (527.8 N); step up to 40 mm if your load needs more than about 35 kgf per direction, or down to 25 mm if 206 N is enough. For bores of 50 or 63 mm, or if you need an adjustable variable cushion instead of the fixed bumper pad, move to the MGCD series; for a conventional single-rod cylinder, the MG series is the equivalent. Choose this double-rod model when you need anti-rotation behaviour, a rear rod end for a stop flag or a second load, or symmetric force both ways. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available (no SDB/CB pivot on double-rod cylinders); the S in this model means the magnet is already fitted for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 500 mm, and on long strokes support the rod to limit side load.

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/impact settings and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X100S FAQ
Because the rod occupies both piston faces, force is equal both ways: 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, speed 30-800 mm/s, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25 at both ends.
The MGD has a rod exiting both covers with the same M10x1.25 thread, so force is identical extending and retracting and the through-rod resists rotation; the single-rod MG has a larger extend force but a smaller return force. This S-suffix model has the magnet fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel. The fixed bumper pad only softens stroke ends; for an adjustable cushion see the MGCD.
