About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X50
The AirTAC MGD32X50 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 move together. Because the rod-side area is active on both sides of the piston, the output force is equal in both directions - 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, and the rear rod end can carry a stop flag or drive a second load while the front end does the work.
Construction suits damp and washdown areas: a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome 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), and the 1/8" port runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), -20 to +70 C, 30-800 mm/s. For a realistic working load, size around 0.6 of the push force, roughly 200 N; as a vertical figure that is about 17 kg. Note that the cylinder does not hold its load on air loss - use an external rod lock or pilot check valve where a held load is required.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X50 Is Used
Anti-rotation slide
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, keeping a 50 mm slide stroke repeatable with about 345.6 N available in each direction at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-load push
Drive two small fixtures or part presenters at once, one off each rod end, with equal 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa on both sides.
Rear-mounted stop flag
Use the back rod end to carry a stop or position flag while the front end does the pressing - note this no-magnet unit cannot take a CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGD32X50 is the second-largest MGD, delivering 345.6 N equally in both directions at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 25 mm bore (206.1 N) for lighter twin-load work, or up to the 40 mm bore (527.8 N) for heavier symmetric transfer. If you need bore 50 or 63, or an adjustable variable cushion instead of the fixed bumper pad, move to the MGCD; for a conventional single-rod cylinder, the MG is the equivalent. Choose this model when anti-rotation guidance, equal both-way force, or a rear rod end for a switch/stop flag matters. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available (no SDB/CB pivot on the double-rod). This unit has no magnet, so no CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch can be fitted - order the S code if sensing is needed. The 50 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore; on longer strokes, keep side load on the through-rod low.

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 MGD32X50 FAQ
It is a double acting, double rod JIS mini cylinder, bore 32 mm, stroke 50 mm, rod 12 mm with M10x1.25 male thread at both ends and a 1/8" port. Force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, theoretical maximum 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-800 mm/s, with a fixed anti-impact bumper pad.
A rod exits both covers, so both sides of the piston see the rod-side area and the force is equal extending and retracting - there is no higher push figure. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and the rear end can carry a stop flag or a second load. The single-rod MG has a larger extend force but no rear rod. This unit has no magnet, so position sensing with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches requires the optional S code.
