About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X150S
The AirTAC MGD32X150S is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, double acting and double rod: a 12 mm piston rod exits both the front and back covers with an M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the two rod ends move together as one. Because the rod-side area is active on both sides of the piston, the output force is equal in each direction, 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. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, keeps stroke-end position repeatable, and lets the rear rod end carry a stop flag or drive a second load. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Construction follows the JIS mini-cylinder footprint: a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted covers and a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, suited to damp and washdown environments. A fixed anti-impact bumper pad at each stroke end softens deceleration; it is not an adjustable cushion, so for variable cushioning look at the MGCD series. The fitted magnet (the S in the code) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed switches to be clamped anywhere along the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling. Ports are 1/8" on this bore. For a held vertical load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, since the piston will drift if air pressure is lost.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X150S Is Used
Anti-rotation linear slide
The through-rod on the MGD32X150S resists rotation, so the 345.6 N stroke can drive a small guided slide or gate without an external anti-rotation key, keeping end position repeatable cycle after cycle.
Twin-load push from one cylinder
With an M10x1.25 thread on both rod ends, the front rod can push a part into a fixture while the rear rod ejects or clamps a second item, delivering an equal 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa to each side.
Rear-mounted stop or flag
The back rod end carries a position flag or mechanical stop, and the fitted magnet lets CMSG or DMSG switches confirm stroke position, ideal for indexing fixtures and transfer stations.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X150S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore this is the second-largest MGD, delivering 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa. A practical rule of thumb is to size the load at about 0.6 of that figure, roughly 200 N, which gives a safe vertical lift of about 21 kg (345.6 N / 9.81 is about 35 kgf, halved for gravity). Step down to MGD25 if your load is under about 130 N and you want a smaller envelope; step up to MGD40 for loads near 320 N. If you need a 50 or 63 mm bore or an adjustable air cushion, the double-rod MGCD series is the right family; for a conventional single-rod cylinder, use the MG. Choose the 150 mm stroke freely here, since the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 500 mm. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available at the rod ends (no SDB/CB pivot mounts on the double-rod design). The fitted magnet means CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be added at any time. On long strokes, keep side load on the through-rod low and guide the load externally where possible.

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 MGD32X150S FAQ
Because the rod-side area works in both directions, output is equal each way: 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, and speed is 30-800 mm/s. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25 at both ends.
The MGD32X150S has a rod exiting both covers, so force is identical extending and retracting, rotation is resisted, and the rear rod end can carry a stop flag or drive a second load; the single-rod MG has a larger push than pull and no rear rod. The stroke ends are softened by fixed bumper pads only, not adjustable cushions (that is the MGCD). The fitted magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and mounting options are FA flange, LB foot, plus I and Y knuckles.
