The AirTAC Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X450 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm 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 MGD32X450 is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, double acting and double rod: a 12 mm rod exits both the front and back covers with an M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the two rod ends move together. Because the rod-side piston area is active on both sides, 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 1/8" port serves every MGD bore, and the 450 mm stroke sits well inside the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore.
The through-rod design 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. Construction is a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod and riveted covers, suited to damp and washdown environments, and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad softens each stroke end. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, -20 to +70 C, and 30-800 mm/s speed. As a rule of thumb, halving the 345.6 N force gives a safe vertical load of roughly 17 kg for this cylinder.

The through-rod on the MGD32X450 resists rotation over the 450 mm stroke, keeping a guided carrier square without external anti-rotation hardware at 345.6 N per direction.
With an M10x1.25 rod thread at both ends, one cylinder drives two workpieces or fixtures simultaneously with identical 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa on each side.
The back rod end can carry a stop flag or trip mechanism, turning the far stroke end into a second useful output on packaging and transfer tooling.
At 32 mm bore the MGD32X450 delivers 345.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.1 N) for lighter duty or up to the 40 mm bore (527.8 N) for heavier loads, which tops out the MGD range. If you need a 50 or 63 mm bore or an adjustable air cushion, move to the MGCD series; for a conventional single-rod cylinder, the MG series is the equivalent. Choose this model when anti-rotation guidance, dual-end loading, or a rear-mounted stop or switch flag matters. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available; note that no SDB/CB pivot mounts exist on the double-rod body. This SKU carries no magnet, so no CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch can be fitted; order the S code if position sensing is needed. On the long 450 mm stroke, support the rod or limit side load to protect the bearing surfaces. 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
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 on air filtered to 40 um. The port is 1/8" and the 32 mm bore accepts standard strokes up to 500 mm.
The MGD has a rod exiting both covers with the same M10x1.25 thread at each end, giving equal force in both directions, better resistance to rotation and side load, and a usable rear rod end for a flag or second load; the MG has a single rod and a larger extend force. This model has fixed anti-impact bumper pads only, not an adjustable cushion like the MGCD. It is supplied without a magnet, so no CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensor can be mounted; order the S code version for sensing.
