About the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD40X60SH
The AirTAC MGD40X60SH is a JIS round-body mini cylinder, double acting and double rod: a 16 mm hard-chrome steel rod exits both the front and back covers with the same M14x1.5 male thread at each end, so the two rod ends travel together. Because the rod-side piston area is active on both sides of the piston, the output force is equal in both directions, about 527.8 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 107.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The through-rod resists piston rotation and side load, and the free rear rod end can carry a switch flag or stop plate while the front end does the work.
Construction suits damp and washdown surroundings: a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted covers, hard-chrome rods, a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal, and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad that decelerates the stroke end. The S code means a magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be clamped on the barrel. Ports are 1/8" on every MGD bore, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-800 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C. As a sizing note, the 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa supports roughly a 32 kg vertical load using the usual 0.6 safety factor.

Where the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD40X60SH Is Used
Anti-rotation slide
The through-rod keeps the tool plate from twisting on a 60 mm transfer stroke, with 527.8 N available equally for extend and retract at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-load push
Front and rear M14x1.5 rod ends each carry a small fixture or ejector, letting one 40 mm bore drive two points of work in perfect sync.
Rear-mounted stop flag
With the magnet fitted, the back rod end carries a CMSG or DMSG switch flag or mechanical stop while the front rod performs the pressing action.
Is the Airtac MGD Double Rod Mini Cylinder MGD40X60SH the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this is the largest MGD, delivering 527.8 N equally in both directions at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 32 mm MGD (345.6 N) if the load is lighter, since the 40 mm is the top of the range. If you need bores of 50 or 63 mm 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 you need anti-rotation guidance, a rear rod end for a stop or flag, or one piston driving two loads. Mounting is FA flange or LB foot, with I and Y rod knuckles available (no SDB or CB pivot on the double-rod); the fitted magnet accepts CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Standard strokes for this bore run to 500 mm, so 60 mm is comfortably standard; on long strokes keep the side load on the through-rod within the datasheet limits and guide externally where possible. Note that the cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit 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 MGD40X60SH FAQ
Because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, output is equal both ways: 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 107.6 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 medium is air filtered to 40 um. Ports are 1/8" and the rod thread is M14x1.5 at both ends.
The MGD has a rod exiting both covers, so force is identical extending and retracting, the through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a stop, flag or second load; the single-rod MG has a larger push than pull and no rear rod. This SH variant includes the magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount directly on the barrel. The fixed bumper pad only softens stroke ends; for an adjustable cushion see the MGCD.
