About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X225
The AirTAC MGD32X225 is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, double acting and double rod: a 12 mm hard-chrome 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 pressurized on both strokes, 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. Ports are 1/8" and the operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The through-rod is the working advantage: it resists piston rotation and side load, keeps stroke-end position repeatable, and leaves the back rod end free to carry a stop flag or drive a second load. The SUS304 stainless barrel with hard-chrome rods suits damp and washdown surroundings, riveted covers keep the JIS footprint compact, and fixed anti-impact bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends. For position feedback, order the S code to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. As a sizing guide, apply about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa force for a realistic working load - roughly 18 kg safe vertical figure for this bore.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X225 Is Used
Anti-rotation pick slide
The through-rod keeps the toolplate from twisting on a 225 mm transfer stroke, with 345.6 N available in each direction for repeatable pick-and-place.
Twin-load pusher
Front and rear rod ends drive two pusher pads at once on a conveyor line, each stroke backed by 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa from the same 32 mm bore.
Rear flag position signal
With the S code magnet fitted, the back rod end carries a CMSG or DMSG switch flag so stroke-end position is confirmed without extra hardware.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X225 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGD32X225 delivers 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 25 mm (206.1 N) and 40 mm (527.8 N) MGD sizes - step up to 40 if your load needs more margin, or down to 25 for lighter duties. The 225 mm stroke is within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Choose the MGD when you need anti-rotation guidance, equal force in both directions, or a rear rod end for a flag or second load; choose the single-rod MG if one rod end is enough, or the MGCD if you need an adjustable air cushion or a 50/63 mm bore. Mount with FA flange or LB foot (no SDB/CB pivot on the double-rod) and add I or Y knuckles on the rod; specify the S code if you plan to fit CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. On long strokes keep the side load low and support the rod ends to protect the bearings.

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 MGD32X225 FAQ
As a double-rod cylinder the 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. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range -20 to +70 C, and speed 30-800 mm/s. The port is 1/8" and the rod thread is M10x1.25 at both ends.
The MGD has a rod exiting both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area and force is identical in extend and retract - the single-rod MG gives a higher push than pull. The through-rod also resists rotation and lets the rear end carry a stop flag or second load. The fixed bumper pad only softens the stroke ends; it is not an adjustable cushion (that is the MGCD) and it will not hold a load on air loss, so use an external check valve or rod lock for held loads. Switches (CMSG/DMSG/EMSG) require the optional S magnet code, which this non-S model does not include.
