About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X175
The AirTAC MGD32X175 is a JIS round-body mini cylinder, double acting and double rod: a 12 mm piston rod exits both the front and back covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the two rod ends travel together. Because the rod-side piston area is active in both directions, the output force is equal 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. Applying the usual 0.6 rule of thumb for a realistic working load, size the application to roughly 207 N, or about 21 kg of thrust. Ports are 1/8" PT, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-800 mm/s, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um.
The through-rod design resists rotation and side load, keeps stroke-end position repeatable, and lets the rear rod end carry a stop flag, a position sensor flag, or drive a second load while the front end does the work. Construction suits damp and washdown surroundings: a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chromed carbon-steel rod, riveted covers, and a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal. A fixed anti-impact bumper pad decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable cushion. This model has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted unless you order the S code, which enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Mounting is LB foot or FA flange, with I and Y rod knuckles available.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X175 Is Used
Anti-rotation slide feed
The through-rod of the MGD32X175 resists rotation, keeping a 175 mm slide square at both ends while pushing about 21 kg of working load at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-load push
With a rod end at each cover, the cylinder drives two ejectors or clamps simultaneously, delivering 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa from one valve.
Rear-mounted stop flag
The back rod end carries a stop or flag plate for downstream counting or interlocking while the front end performs the main push.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X175 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGD32X175 sits in the middle of the MGD range: it delivers 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa, above the 206.1 N of the 25 mm bore and below the 527.8 N of the 40 mm bore. Step up to MGD40 if your load needs more than about 21 kg of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, or step down to MGD25 for lighter symmetric pushes. If you need bores of 50 or 63 mm, or an adjustable variable cushion instead of the fixed bumper pad, choose the MGCD double-rod series; for a conventional single-rod cylinder use the MG. The 175 mm stroke is within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no nonstandard surcharge applies. Choose the S code if you want position detection with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, pick FA flange or LB foot mounting to suit your fixture, and add I or Y knuckles where the rod joins a pivoting linkage. On long strokes, guide the load externally so the through-rod is not asked to carry heavy 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 MGD32X175 FAQ
Because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, force is equal in extend and retract: 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), speed 30-800 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the air must be filtered to 40 um. Ports are 1/8" PT and the rod thread is M10x1.25 at both ends.
The MGD32X175 has a rod exiting both covers, so force is identical both ways, the rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear 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. This model is supplied without a magnet, so no sensor can be mounted; order the S code to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Note the cylinder does not hold its load on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
