The AirTAC Airtac MSG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MSG32X100S is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The MSG32X100S is a single acting, PUSH type JIS round-body mini cylinder: compressed air extends the 12 mm rod, and an internal return spring retracts it the moment air is released. With a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke it delivers about 281.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa (442.1 N at 0.7 MPa), figures already net of the spring, so the working force you see is the force you get. Because air is only supplied on the work stroke, the circuit needs a single air line and a single valve port, which saves air and simplifies plumbing for one-directional clamp, eject, press and lift tasks.
Construction suits demanding shop floors: a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod resists damp and washdown conditions, riveted covers keep the round body compact, and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad softens the stroke ends without acting as a lock or brake. The fitted magnet (-S code) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed spans 50-800 mm/s, and the 1/8" port is common to every MSG bore. As a rule of thumb, size the working load at about 0.6 of the push force: roughly 168 N, or about 17 kg safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa.

MG-family variants: MG / MGC (double acting ±cushion), MSG / MTG (single acting push / pull), MGD / MGCD (double rod ±cushion). Accessories: LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis, SDB pivot block, plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Air extends the rod to clamp a fixture or workpiece; releasing the valve lets the spring retract the clamp automatically, so a power failure always leaves the part free.
At 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore ejects stamped or machined parts off a die or chute, with the spring return clearing the path for the next cycle.
The mid-range thrust suits light press-fit and lid-closing stations or lifting a small gate of roughly 17 kg or less, returning to rest by spring when air is dumped.
Choose the MSG32X100S when your task pushes in one direction only and a spring return is acceptable: its 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa sits mid-range in the MSG family (the 20 bore offers about 109.9 N, the 40 bore about 439.6 N). Note the 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure set by the return spring, and remember that on air loss the spring retracts the rod to rest rather than holding a load. The 100 mm stroke is within the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore; if you need a longer stroke or two-directional force, step up to the double-acting MG series. Mounting options are LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis and SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles, and the fitted magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore gives 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and 442.1 N at 0.7 MPa, already net of the return spring. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, fluid is air filtered to 40 um, temperature range is -20 to +70 C, and speed is 50-800 mm/s. The port is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
It is single acting PUSH: one air line extends the rod, and the internal spring retracts it when air is released, so it cannot hold a load on air loss. The -S code means a magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can signal rod position. If you need powered retract or a longer stroke than the 150 mm spring-return limit, use the double-acting MG instead.
