The AirTAC Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 MGD32X150 is a double acting, double rod JIS mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke. A 12 mm rod exits both the front and rear covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the through-rod resists rotation and side load, drives two loads at once, or carries a stop flag on the rear end. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, the output force is equal in both directions: 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. Ports are 1/8" on this bore, and the maximum standard stroke for a 32 mm MGD is 500 mm, so 150 mm sits comfortably within the standard range.
Construction follows the JIS round-body footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rods, riveted covers, and a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal, suited to damp or washdown surroundings. A fixed anti-impact bumper pad decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, and speeds of 30-800 mm/s. For a realistic working load, budget roughly 0.6 of the force, and for a vertical lift keep it near 18 kg. Note that the cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.

The through-rod on the MGD32X150 resists rotation and side load, keeping a 150 mm push slide square at both stroke ends with 345.6 N available in each direction.
With the same M10x1.25 thread on both rod ends, one cylinder can drive two grippers or pushers at once, splitting roughly 35 kgf of thrust between them.
Use the back rod end to carry a stop or position flag on a fixture; the fixed bumper pad softens the stroke end for repeatable settling.
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm MGD is the second-largest bore in the series: step down to MGD25 if your load is light, or up to MGD40 for heavier thrust. If you need a 50 or 63 mm bore or an adjustable cushion, move to the MGCD; for a single-rod cylinder, the MG is the equivalent. Choose this double-rod version when you need anti-rotation stiffness, equal force both ways, a rear rod for a switch flag or second load, or repeatable stroke-end positioning. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available (no SDB/CB pivots on the double-rod). The magnet is the optional S code; without it no CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor can be fitted. On long strokes, support the side load to protect the 12 mm rods.
Quick checklist
Because a rod occupies both sides of the 32 mm piston, 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 is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -20 to +70 C, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and the air must be filtered to 40 um. Ports are 1/8".
The MGD has a rod exiting both covers, so it gives equal force in both directions, resists rotation and side load, and can carry a second load or flag on the rear rod; the single-rod MG has a higher extend force but no rear rod. The bumper pad is fixed and only decelerates the stroke end, not an adjustable cushion like the MGCD. Position sensing requires the -S magnet option, which enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; this non-S model has no magnet fitted.
