About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X500
The AirTAC MGD32X500 is a double acting, double rod JIS mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a long 500 mm stroke. A 12 mm rod exits both the front and rear covers with the same M10x1.25 male thread at each end, so the two rod ends travel together and the output force is EQUAL in both directions: about 345.6 N (roughly 35 kgf) each way at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, there is no separate push and pull figure, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod end can carry a stop flag or drive a second load.
Built to the JIS footprint, the MGD32X500 uses a riveted round body in SUS304 stainless with a hard-chromed carbon-steel rod, so it suits damp and washdown-prone areas. Fixed anti-impact bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends, and the 500 mm stroke sits at the maximum standard length for this bore. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates -20 to +70 C, and moves at 30-800 mm/s. As a practical rule of thumb, keep the working load near 0.6 of the push force, about 207 N or roughly 21 kg, and about 17 kg if the load hangs vertically.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X500 Is Used
Anti-rotation linear slide
The through-rod of the MGD32X500 resists rotation and side load, keeping a 500 mm slide straight and repeatable at stroke end with equal 345.6 N force in each direction.
Twin-load pusher
Drive two pusher arms from the same cylinder: the front rod end and rear rod end each deliver about 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, moving two chutes or gates in perfect sync.
Rear-mounted stop flag
Use the back rod end to carry a stop or index flag past a fixed sensor station while the front end does the work; order the S code to add CMSG or DMSG switches on the body.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD32X500 the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore the MGD32X500 delivers 345.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, placing it in the middle of the MGD range: step down to bore 20 or 25 for lighter symmetric pushes, or up to bore 40 (527.8 N) for heavier ones. If you need bore 50 or 63, or an adjustable variable cushion instead of the fixed bumper pad, choose the MGCD; for a conventional single-rod cylinder pick the MG. The 500 mm stroke is the maximum standard for this bore, so no custom length is needed. Order the S code if you want position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; this non-S model carries no magnet and accepts no sensor. Mount with the FA flange or LB foot (no CB or SDB pivot mounts on the double rod) and add I or Y rod knuckles at either or both rod ends. On a long 500 mm stroke, support the load well and avoid side loading to protect the rod and bearings. Note the cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for a held 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 MGD32X500 FAQ
Output is equal both directions because the rod-side area works 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 port is 1/8" on every MGD bore. The rod is 12 mm with M10x1.25 male threads at both ends.
The MGD32X500 has a rod exiting both covers with the same M10x1.25 thread each end, giving equal force both ways, better resistance to rotation and side load, and a free rear rod end for a stop flag or second load. The single-rod MG has a larger push than pull and no rear rod. For sensing, order the S code: the magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. This non-S version has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted.
