The AirTAC Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X25S is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 MGD32X25S is a double acting, double-rod JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 25 mm stroke. A 12 mm rod exits both covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so both rod ends travel together and the output force is equal in extend and retract: about 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, there is no separate push and pull figure to juggle when sizing the circuit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, keeps stroke-end position repeatable, and leaves the rear rod end free to carry a stop or switch flag or to drive a second load. This S-coded model ships with a magnet fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be mounted directly on the SUS304 stainless barrel. The hard-chrome rods, riveted covers and fixed anti-impact bumper pads suit damp and washdown-adjacent lines, and the 1/8" port on every MGD bore keeps plumbing simple. As a sizing guide, the 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa is roughly 35 kgf, so a safe vertical load is about 17 kg.

The through-rod resists rotation on a 25 mm stroke indexing or clamping slide, delivering the same 345.6 N in each direction so the return stroke needs no derating.
Drive two small pusher pads or gates at once, one on each M10x1.25 rod end, with about 35 kgf of balanced force at 0.5 MPa on every cycle.
Mount a stop or switch flag on the rear rod end and read it with a CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor to confirm stroke-end position on the packaging line.
At 345.6 N per direction (about 35 kgf at 0.5 MPa), the MGD32X25S sits in the middle of the MGD range: step down to bore 20 or 25 for lighter compact pushes, or up to bore 40 (527.8 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier work. If you need bore 50 or 63, or an adjustable variable cushion instead of the fixed bumper pad, move to the MGCD; for a single-rod cylinder, the MG is the equivalent. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for MGD bore 32. Choose LB foot or FA flange mounting plus I or Y rod knuckles (no SDB/CB pivot is offered on the double-rod body), and keep the S suffix if you need CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing. For long strokes, support the rod to limit side load; the cylinder does not hold position on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
Quick checklist
It is double acting with equal output 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 maximum standard stroke for this bore is 500 mm.
The MGD has a rod exiting both covers with the same M10x1.25 thread, so force is equal in both directions, the rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear end can carry a flag or drive a second load; the single-rod MG has a larger extend force but only one working end. The S in MGD32X25S means a magnet is fitted, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The fixed bumper pads soften stroke ends but do not lock or hold the load.
